Emerging pharma residue contaminants: Occurrence, monitoring, risk and fate assessment-A challenge to water resource management

Sathish Sundararaman et al.

Summary: The presence of pharmaceutical residues in water resources poses significant hazards to the environment and necessitates assessment and mitigation measures. Various pharmaceutical components can be detected in water, causing negative effects on marine species and biodegradation activities. Synergic effects and ecotoxicological hazard assessments must be developed. Traditional effluent treatment methods are ineffective in removing active pharmaceutical ingredients from water, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring in aquatic ecosystems.

Microplastic Pollution: An Emerging Threat to Terrestrial Plants and Insights into Its Remediation Strategies

Arpna Kumari et al.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) pose a global threat to the environment due to their persistence and widespread usage in various sectors. Despite research focusing mainly on marine and freshwater ecosystems, there is a lack of understanding about the role of terrestrial ecosystems. Additionally, the presence of MPs in arable soils is a major concern, as they can potentially affect food production and plant growth. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the sources and interactions of MPs with agroecosystems and plants, as well as develop effective remediation strategies.

Biodegradation of bisphenol A using psychrotolerant bacterial strain Pseudomonas palleroniana GBPI_508

Pooja Thathola et al.

Summary: A psychrotolerant bacterial strain of Pseudomonas sp. GBPI_508, isolated from the Indian Himalayan region, showed good potential for degrading bisphenol A (BPA). The optimum conditions for BPA degradation were determined using response surface methodology. The Monod model was used to analyze the bacterial degradation kinetics, and the metabolic intermediates were identified using GC-MS.

Assessment of heavy metal pollution in Yamuna River, Delhi-NCR, using heavy metal pollution index and GIS

Mohd Asim et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the concentrations of heavy metals in the Yamuna River using the HPI approach. Results showed high pollution levels in the river water, exceeding permissible limits for drinking water. Significant variations in heavy metal concentrations between sampling sites were observed, likely due to industrial effluents and sewage wastes entering the river water through anthropogenic activities.

Biodegradation of profenofos, an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor by a psychrotolerant strain Rahnella sp. PFF2 and degradation pathway analysis

Shalini Verma et al.

Summary: The study investigated microbial degradation of Profenofos (PFF) using a psychrotolerant bacterium Rahnella sp. PFF2, isolated from soil samples in India. Results showed that the bacterium could effectively degrade PFF at different temperatures, with GC/MS and HPLC studies revealing degradation pathway and metabolites, proposing a possible degradation mechanism. This is the first report of PFF degradation by a psychrotolerant Rahnella sp. at both psychrophilic and mesophilic temperature conditions in the Western Himalayan regions.

Malathion biodegradation by a psychrotolerant bacteria Ochrobactrum sp. M1D and metabolic pathway analysis

S. Verma et al.

Summary: The bacterium Ochrobactrum sp. M1D isolated from peach orchard soil in Palampur, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, was found to be capable of degrading malathion as the sole source of carbon and energy. Through GCMS analysis, methyl phosphate, diethyl maleate, and diethyl 2-mercaptosuccinate were identified as the major metabolites in the degradation pathway. The study is the first to report malathion biodegradation by a psychrotolerant strain under both psychrophilic and mesophilic conditions, indicating potential applications in bioremediation and biotechnology.
