Cholinesterase-based biosensor using Lates calcarifer (Asian Seabass) brain for detection of heavy metals
(SPB Pharma Society, 2015-04-01)
Heavy metals are sometimes needed for nutrient uptake but only in low concentrations and the nervous system is the most susceptible to be affected. Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition has been used extensively as a biomarker ...
The use of lates calcarifer as a biomarker for heavy metals detection
(Springer Milan, 2016-01-21)
Fish are ubiquitous organisms that have many features that designate their potential as a biomarker of heavy metals pollution. Thus, an investigation was done to detect the effect of heavy metals on cholinesterase (ChE) ...
Optimisation of biodegradation conditions for cyanide removal by Serratia marcescens strain AQ07 using one-factor-at-a-time technique and response surface methodology
(Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, 2016-03-12)
Gold mining companies are known to use cyanide to extract gold from minerals. The indiscriminate use of cyanide presents a major environmental issue. Serratia marcescens strain AQ07 was found to have cyanide-degrading ...
