Phenol is an industrially key compound that has a wide range of applications and also one of the most commonly found toxic pollutants in wastewaters and groundwater. This paper demonstrates the applicability of in situ remediation at a deactivated industrial site using source zone excavation and sediment mixing associated with nutrients delivery into groundwater. Sediment excavation and mixing displaced the entrapped source zone enhancing mass transfer into groundwater and contaminant bioavailability. A nutrient solution prepared with nitrate, phosphate, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide was continuously delivered into groundwater to stimulate biodegradation and restrict plume migration. The observed correlation between phenol-dependent Enterobacteriaceae concentrations throughout the remediation time frame supported circumstantial evidence of biodegradation. Phenol concentration in groundwater (up to 1,300 mg/L) was reduced >99% after 5 months following remediation and remained under the established site specific target level (4 mg/L). Nitrate and phosphate concentrations returned to background concentrations levels at the end of the remediation. Overall, the proposed in situ remediation scheme was effective to remediate this particular aquifer contaminated with phenol for over 20 years. 相似文献

We introduce Genetic Systems, a formalism inspired by genetic regulatory networks and suitable for modeling the interactions between the genes and the proteins, acting as regulatory products.The generation of new objects, representing proteins, is driven by genetic gates: a new object is produced when all the activator objects are available in the system, and no inhibitor object is available. Activators are not consumed by the application of such an evolution rule. Objects disappear because of degradation: each object is equipped with a lifetime, and the object decays when such a lifetime expires.We investigate the computational expressiveness of Genetic Systems: we show that they are Turing equivalent by providing encodings of Random Access Machines in Genetic Systems. 相似文献

A total of 998 unrelated individuals from the Gadaba tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, were screened for red cell phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) by starch gel electrophoresis. A new and hitherto for Andhra Pradesh not yet reported rare variant phenotype was observed: PHI 6-1. The new allele is designated as PHI*6Gadaba. 相似文献

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) of microbial origin is a promising alternative to chemical flocculants due to their sustainability and eco‐friendly nature. In the present study, EPS produced by Bacillus cereus SK was studied and their flocculating activity was investigated. On incubation for 48 h, B. cereus SK produced 0.919 ± 0.022 g/L of EPS from a cell mass of 3.59 ± 0.06 g/L. The isolated EPS was identified as glycoprotein and chemical characterization by FTIR spectroscopic analysis suggested the presence of hydroxyl, amino and carboxyl groups. The kaolin clay flocculating activity of 83.4% was obtained on treatment with 12 mg/L of EPS. At 30% (v/v) of EPS 31.22 ± 4.71 mL/g of Sludge volume index (SVI) and 34.44 ± 1.51 mL/g of algal flocculation was observed. The EPS produced by B. cereus SK was non‐toxic and did not exert any adverse effect on Danio rerio even at a concentration of 800 mg/mL. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogenic microorganism causing majority of acute hospital‐acquired infections and poses a serious public health concern. The persistence of bacterial infection can be attributed to the highly synchronised cell‐to‐cell communication phenomenon, quorum sensing (QS) which regulates the expression of a number of virulence factors and biofilm formation which eventually imparts resistance to the conventional antimicrobial therapy. In this study, the anti‐quorum sensing and anti‐biofilm potential of ferulic acid encapsulated chitosan‐tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (FANPs) was investigated against P. aeruginosa PAO1 and compared with native ferulic acid. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopic analysis confirmed the synthesis of FANPs with mean diameter of 215.55 nm. FANPs showed significant anti‐quorum sensing activity by downregulating QS‐regulated virulence factors. In addition, FANPs also significantly attenuate the swimming and swarming motility of P. aeruginosa PAO1. The anti‐biofilm efficacy of FANPs as compared to native ferulic acid was established by light and confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis. The promising results of FANPs in attenuating QS highlighted the slow and sustained release of ferulic acid at the target sites with greater efficacy suggesting its application towards the development of anti‐infective agents.Inspec keywords: microorganisms, nanofabrication, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, light scattering, cellular biophysics, drugs, antibacterial activity, drug delivery systems, filled polymers, materials preparationOther keywords: size 215.55 nm, ferulic acid encapsulated chitosan‐tripolyphosphate nanoparticles, dynamic light scattering, QS‐regulated virulence factors, cell‐to‐cell communication phenomenon, nosocomial pathogenic microorganism, anti‐quorum sensing activity, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, anti‐infective agents, confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis, anti‐biofilm efficacy, transmission electron microscopic analysis, native ferulic acid, FANPs, anti‐biofilm potential, conventional antimicrobial therapy, bacterial infection, acute hospital‐acquired infections, biofilm formation 相似文献

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous particles released by all cell types. Their role as functional carrier of bioactive molecules is boosted by cells that actively secrete them in biological fluids or in the intercellular space (interstitial EVs, iEVs). Here we have optimised a method for the isolation and characterization of zebrafish iEVs from whole melanoma tissues. Zebrafish melanoma iEVs are around 140 nm in diameter, as determined by nanoparticle tracking and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Western blot analysis shows enrichment for CD63 and Alix in the iEV fraction, but not in melanoma cell lysates. Super resolution and confocal microscopy reveal that purified zebrafish iEVs are green fluorescent protein positive (GFP+), indicating that they integrate the oncogene GFP-HRASV12G used to induce melanoma in this model within their vesicular membrane or luminal content. Analysis of RNA-Seq data found 118 non-coding (nc)RNAs differentially distributed between zebrafish melanoma and their iEVs, with only 17 of them being selectively enriched in iEVs. Among these, the RNA components of RNAses P and MRP, which process ribosomal RNA precursors, mitochondrial RNAs, and some mRNAs, were enriched in zebrafish and human melanoma EVs, but not in iEVs extracted from brain tumours. We found that melanoma iEVs induce an inflammatory response when injected in larvae, with increased expression of interferon responsive genes, and this effect is reproduced by MRP- or P-RNAs injected into circulation. This suggests that zebrafish melanoma iEVs are a source of MRP- and P-RNAs that can trigger inflammation in cells of the innate immune system. 相似文献
