Transcriptomic and proteomic studies in Fe deficient plants have also reported increases in root transcript and protein abundances, respectively, of enzymes related to the glycolytic and TCA cycle pathways, among others. Iron deficiency also induces an accumulation of organic acids, mainly malate and citrate, in roots. The induction of C metabolism in roots of Fe-deficient plants …

Spiked blanks and CRM PAH-contaminated loamy sand soil were included to determine extraction efficiency
Approximately 20 g of Ottawa sand was spread across the soil and the lid was placed on the Petri dish and sealed with parafilm to maintain optimal growth conditions. A sandy loam control soil containing no PAH contamination was prepared in the same manner every 20 samples. The samples were placed in a growth chamber …
The Mycobacterium genus is often associated with HMW PAH biodegradation
In the absence of major decomposition pathways, PAHs are removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition, which is considered the major source of PAHs in soil . Although PAHs are considered amongst the most widespread organic pollutants in numerous environmental matrices such as soils, sediments, water, and wastewater, the ultimate sink of atmospheric …
