The protection of aquatic ecosystems from artificial or natural pollutants of industrial origin is of paramount importance and technology to reduce or eliminate these from waste streams is urgently needed. Chlorophenols represent a particular group o... Read More about UV treatment of chlorophenols in water using uv microwave lamps and Xe/Br excilamp coupled with biodegradation..

Petro-chemically derived fuels may contain a range of organosulfur compounds that produce sulfur dioxide when combusted, culminating in atmospheric and soil pollution. Sulfur constituents include thiophenes, such as Benzothiophene and Dibenzothiaphen... Read More about Enhanced desulfurization activity in protoplast transformed Rhodococcus erythropolis.

A new short-term toxicity assay using Aspergillus awamori with recombinant aequorin gene (2005)
Journal Article
Kozlova, O., Zwinderman, M., & Christofi, N. (2005). A new short-term toxicity assay using Aspergillus awamori with recombinant aequorin gene. BMC Microbiology, 5, Article 40. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2180-5-40

Background
Most currently available short-term toxicity assays are based on bacterial cells. Therefore there is a need for novel eukaryotic microbial bioassays that will be relevant to higher eukaryotes such as animals and plants. Ca2+ is a universa...
