Environmental science and pollution research international.Environ Sci Pollut Res Int.2016 Jul;23(13):12613-23. doi: 10.1007/s11356-015-4960-2. Epub 2015 Jul 11.
Polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) biodegradation was followed for 1 year in microcosms containing marine sediments collected from Mar Piccolo (Taranto, Italy) chronically contaminated by this class of hazardous compounds. The microcosms were performed under strictly anaerobic conditions with or without the

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used in many aspects of modern life because of its versatility and resistance. However, PU waste disposal generates large problems since it is slowly degraded, there are limited recycling processes, and its destruction may generate toxic compounds. In this work, we isolat

Lichens are the symbiotic association of fungi and a photosynthetic partner. However, non-phototrophic bacteria are also present and thought to comprise an essential part of the lichen symbiosis, although their roles in the symbiosis are still poorly understood. In this study, we isolated and charac
