Biodegradation of Chlorobenzene, 1,2-Dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-Dichlorobenzene in the Vadose Zone Kurt, Zöhre (2013-07-02) Much of the microbial activity in nature takes place at interfaces, which are often associated with redox discontinuities. One example is the oxic/anoxic interface where polluted groundwater interacts with the overlying vadose zone. We tested whether microbes in the vadose zone can use synthetic chemicals as electron donors and thus protect the overlying air and buildings from groundwater pollutants. Samples from the vadose zone of a site contaminated with chlorobenzene (CB), 1,2-dichlorobenzene (12DCB), an...
Biodegradation of the Allelopathic Chemical Pterostilbene by a Sphingobium sp. Strain from the Peanut Rhizosphere Yu, Ri-Qing; Kurt, Zöhre; He, Fei; Spain, Jim C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2019-03-01) Many plants produce allelopathic chemicals, such as stilbenes, to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The degradation of allelopathic compounds by bacteria associated with the plants would limit their effectiveness, but little is known about the extent of biodegradation or the bacteria involved. Screening of tissues and rhizosphere of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants revealed substantial enrichment of bacteria able to grow on resveratrol and pterostilbene, the most common stilbenes produced by the plants. Investigati...
Biodegradation of nonylphenols, determination of degradation products and detection of responsible microorganisms using molecular techniques Kara Murdoch, Fadime; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2015) Nonylphenol(poly)ethoxylates (NPnEO) have received special attention during the last decades due to their toxic and endocrine-disrupting effects for many organisms. They have limited degradation in wastewater treatment plants especially in activated sludge units. Since they accumulate in sludge, understanding of their fate during sludge treatment is important. With this motivation, this research aimed to monitor the degradation of nonylphenol diethoxylate (NP2EO, as a parent compound) into its degradation p...
Biocompatibility of Accelerated Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on Stem Cells Derived from Human Dental Pulp. Kulan, Pinar; Karabiyik, Ozge; KÖSE, GAMZE; Kargul, Betul (2016-02-01) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of several additives on the setting time and cytotoxicity of accelerated-set mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on stem cells of human dental pulp. ProRoot white MTA (WMTA) (Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Johnson City, TN) was mixed with various additives including distilled water, 2.5% disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), K-Y Jelly (Johnson & Johnson, Markham, ON, Canada), and 5% and 10% calcium chloride (CaCl2) (Merck). The setting time...
Biodegradation of the fluorinated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical Flurbiprofen by environmental bacterial isolates Murdoch, Robert Waller(2015-12-31) Flurbiprofen is a fluorinated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical. While flurbiprofen is quite popular in Turkey, there is at the present time no information as to how environmental bacteria degrade this chemical. Organisms capable of using flurbiprofen as sole carbon and energy source will be enriched from Ankara municipal sewage treatment plant. Strains will be isolated and identified using molecular methods. The general features of degradation pathways employed by unique strains will be cha...
