 Egeria densa remediates the aquatic environment and reduces 14 C-deltamethrin bioaccumulation in Danio rerio 
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023 Jul 10:1-6. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2232277. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDeltamethrin is an insecticide with high toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms. Environment-friendly alternatives to removing insecticides from water bodies, like phytoremediation, require species to uptake and/or dissipate pesticides from water. Our research investigated the ability of Egeria densa plants to absorb and dissipate 14C-deltamethrin from water, and bioaccumulation in Danio rerio. The variables were four densities of E. densa (0, 234, 337, and 468 g dry weight m-3), in tanks with seven adults of D. rer...

In-feed emamectin benzoate abuse affects the biological responses and erythrocytes of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus 
This study aimed at elucidating the pernicious effects of in-feed antiparasitic drug emamectin benzoate (EB) abuse on the haemato-biochemistry and erythro-morphometry of healthy Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. The fish were fed EB at 50 μg (1×) and 150 μg/kg biomass/d (3×) for 14 d as against the recommended 7 d and periodically assessed the blood parameters. A significant dose- and time-dependent reduction in feed intake, survival, total erythrocytes (TEC), monocytes (MC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) and mean corpuscular Hb concentration were noted. The total leukocytes (TLC), thrombocytes (TC), lymphocytes (...

Mycoremediation of pretilachlor and its metabolite by Aspergillus ficuum 
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023 Jul 5:1-11. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2232276. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPretilachlor is one of the widely used chloroacetamide herbicides in Asian countries to control weeds in the rice field. The extensive use of herbicides has caused major concern among scientists throughout the world. Therefore, it is essential to develop an efficient method for the remediation of pretilachlor and its harmful by-products from contaminated surfaces. Mycoremediation is known to play a key role in the removal of various environmental contaminants. Hence, in the present study, strain AJN2 Aspergillus ficuu...

Low doses of glyphosate do not damage the secondary metabolism of common bean
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023;58(5):465-476. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2226586. Epub 2023 Jun 22.ABSTRACTGlyphosate application, even in low doses, changes the metabolism of crops. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of glyphosate low doses and sowing season on metabolic changes of early-cycle common beans. Two experiments were conducted in the field, one in the winter season and one in the wet season. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design consisting of the application of glyphosate low doses [0.0, 1.8, 7.2, 12.0, 36.0, 54.0, and 108.0 g acid equivalent (a.e.) ha-1] in the phenological stag...
