Microbe-Induced Degradation of Pesticides by Shree Nath Singh Pdf

This book focuses on the microbial degradation of endosulfan, lindane, chlorophenols, organochlorine, aldrin, dieldrin, isoproturon and atrazine, etc. which are commonly used in crop fields to kill the pests. Further, it illustrates the role of degradative enzymes, metabolic pathways of degradation, toxicity of metabolites, and the factors regulating the pesticide degradation. In view of persistence of synthetic pesticides, scientists have discovered suitable microbes, such as bacteria, fungi and algae (naturally occurring or genetically engineered) over the years. After successful trials under laboratory and field conditions, these microbes are being used to degrade chemical pesticides in agriculture. As of now 2.56 billion kg of chemical pesticides is used every year to protect agricultural fields against pest attack. These technologies have been found to be highly effective, eco-friendly and cost-effective without disturbing the agro-ecosystems. As this book contains review articles contributed by various researchers from different countries whose work demonstrates recent advances in microbial degradation of pesticides, it will serve as a ready reckoner and also a valuable quick reference guide for scientists, academicians, cultivators and industrialists alike.

Recent advancements in microbe-pesticide interaction: A smart-soil bioremediation approach, 2nd edition by Pankaj Bhatt,Shaohua Chen ,Cormac Murphy Pdf

The increasing use and the continuous development of pesticides are required to maintain sufficient global food production. The pesticide residues and their biotic and abiotic breakdown products may be harmful to the environment and may leach into waterways, thus it is crucial that the interactions of pesticides with microorganisms are deeply understood at all levels. Pesticides reach the soil via direct and indirect routes. The fate of the pesticides in the soil is affected by chemical, physical and microbiological factors. Microbial degradation of pesticides in soil is possible owing to the diverse metabolic capabilities of the microorganisms present, thus indigenous microbes act as biocatalysts for the remediation of the pesticides from the environment. The research topic will cover novel insights into microbial pesticide degradation with specific attention to the microbe-pesticide interactions in soil. To date researchers have focused on the degradation of pesticides using indigenous microbes with different degradation rate. There is scant information about the degradation intermediates, metabolic pathways, enzymes and complete set of factors involved into the microbes inhabiting into the pesticides contaminated soil. Therefore this Research Topic aims to contribute to the understanding of the role of microbes in pesticide degradation in soil. Since pesticide exposure may result in stress responses in the microbial population of the soil, there is also a need to know about the impact of pesticides on the microbial cell structure, membrane transporters, cellular content, metabolic pathways and gene expression. We are interested in reports of novel metabolic pathways, expression of the key genes in response to pesticide exposure and the changes in microbial physiology caused by pesticide exposure. The removal of the pesticides from the soil requires smart microbial methods that can reduce the pesticides concentration in a short time. The development of the smart bioremediation methods includes the direct application of the potential screened microbial strains and their enzymes. The immobilized microbial strains and their enzymes can be used for the rapid removal of the toxic pesticides from the soil environment. In addition, engineering of the microbial consortia can be developed as the potential smart bioremediation tool. Papers on single isolates or microbial communities are welcome as are reports of novel genes, enzymes or metabolites that might be used as markers of soil contamination. We would especially welcome manuscripts describing the application and development of smart soil bioremediation approaches that could be beneficial for the treatment of large scale contaminated agricultural and industrial soils. The research topic is of immediate interest to scientists and policy-makers and Frontiers in Microbiology is an ideal forum for a collection of novel, high-impact reports. The following themes are welcomes but not limited to: • Novel advancements into the microbe-pesticide interactions to clean the pesticide contaminated soil • High throughput screening of the potential bacterial, fungi and algae strains for the removal of pesticides from the contaminated soil • Smart soil bioremediation using indigenous microbial cultures and their purified enzymes • Microbial enzymes a smart tool for bioremediation of the soil • Engineering of the microbial consortia for the complete pesticides removal and resource recovery

Insecticide Microbiology by R. Lal Pdf

Of all the food produced in the world one third is lost to insect pests, weeds and diseases, and the total world population is estimated as growing from 4000 million in 1975 to about 6000 million by the year 2000. To satisfy these needs, the world's farmers must meet the extra requirement every year. The easiest way in which farmers can increase the amount of food they produce is to prevent the loss due to pests. The biological control measures which were once thought to be the safest methods of pest control have, as we now know, not proved successful on a commercial scale. In such a dismal situation the only solution is to use pesticides to save the losses from pests and to increase the crop yield. Apart from agriculture, pesticides have also contributed much to human com fort by controlling the vectors of typhoid, malaria, sleeping sickness, filariasis, dengue hemorrhage fever, plague etc. On the other hand, the indiscriminate use of insecticides and their harmful effects on nontarget organisms has attracted much attention from people in all walks of life, for example, scientists, administrators, the press and the public. The harmful effects of insecticides on higher organisms such as birds, fish and mammals are easy to observe and have received much attention. However, the interactions of insecticides with microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa have gone unnoticed until recently.

Microbial Degradation of Xenobiotics by Shree Nath Singh Pdf

Our interest in the microbial biodegradation of xenobiotics has increased many folds in recent years to find out sustainable ways for environmental cleanup. Bioremediation and biotransformation processes harness the naturally occurring ability of microbes to degrade, transform or accumulate a wide range of organic pollutants. Major methodological breakthroughs in recent years through detailed genomic, metagenomic, proteomic, bioinformatic and other high-throughput analyses of environmentally relevant microorganisms have provided us unprecedented insights into key biodegradative pathways and the ability of organisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The degradation of a wide spectrum of organic pollutants and wastes discharged into the environment by anthropogenic activities is an emerging need today to promote sustainable development of our society with low environmental impact. Microbial processes play a major role in the removal of recalcitrant compounds taking advantage of the astonishing catabolic versatility of microorganisms to degrade or transform such compounds. New breakthroughs in sequencing, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and imaging are generating vital information which opens a new era providing new insights of metabolic and regulatory networks, as well as clues to the evolution of degradation pathways and to the molecular adaptation strategies to changing environmental conditions. Functional genomic and metagenomic approaches are increasing our understanding of the relative importance of different pathways and regulatory networks to carbon flux in particular environments and for particular compounds. New approaches will certainly accelerate the development of bioremediation technologies and biotransformation processes in coming years for natural attenuation of contaminated environments

Microbes and Enzymes in Soil Health and Bioremediation by Ashok Kumar,Swati Sharma Pdf

Microbial enzymes play a vital role in maintaining soil health and removing pollutants from contaminated land. Soil microflora is closely associated with maintaining soil fertility, and the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and other volatile sprays in agriculture threatens the health ofthe microbial population in the soil. Every single particle of healthy soil contains millions of bacteria, which interact with the nutrients available, sustaining the nutrient cycle and making this microflora an essential component of life on earth. How do microbes help in the nutrient cycle? Either by intracellular digestion of macromolecules and converting these into smaller units in their metabolic pathways, or by secreting enzymes into the extracellular environment to facilitate the conversion of complex macromolecules into micro-molecules that can be easily absorbed by other living species. To meet demands for energy and food for the growing global population, it is important to protect agricultural land from contamination and maintain its productivity. Heavy metal ions from contaminated land canenter crops, fish or aquatic organismsvia contaminated water, and theseare then taken up by the human body, where they can accumulate and alter the normal microflora. The microbiological component of the soil is ahighly complex system and is still not fully understood. How do microbes survive in the changing physicochemical environment of soil?. This book helps readers understand the mechanism, various routes of microbialsoil remediation, the interactionsof different genera, and how microbial enzymes support the sustainable restoration of healthy soil.

Residue Reviews by Francis A. Gunther,Jane Davies Gunther Pdf

That residues of pesticide and other contaminants in the total environment are of concern to everyone everywhere is attested by the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and by the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by all the in dividuals from whom manuscripts have been solicited. Despite much propaganda to the contrary, there can never be any serious question that pest-control chemicals and food-additive chemicals are essential to adequate food production, manufacture, marketing, and storage, yet without continuing surveillance and intelligent control some of those that persist in our foodstuffs could at times conceivably endanger the public health. Ensuring safety-in-use of these many chemicals is a dynamic challenge, for established ones are continually being dis placed by newly developed ones more acceptable to food tech nologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, and changing pest-control requirements in progressive. food-producing economies. These matters are of genuine concern to increasing numbers of governmental agencies and legislative bodies around the world, for some of these chemicals have resulted in a few mishaps from improper use. Adequate safety-in-use evaluations of any of these chemicals per sisting into our foodstuffs are not simple matters, and they incorporate the considered judgments of many individuals highly trained in a variety of complex biological, chemical, food technological, medical, pharmacological, and toxicological disciplines.
