Microcystins (MCs) are algal toxins produced intracellularly within the algal cells, and are
subsequently released into the aquatic systems. An increase in the frequency and intensity of …

Graphene oxide (GO) was employed in the present study for removal of two commonly
occurring algal toxins, microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and microcystin-RR (MC-RR), from water. The …

Plant-based diets (PBDs) are associated with environmental benefits, human health promotion
and animal welfare. There is a worldwide shift towards PBDs, evident from the increased …

Enterococci are important human commensals and significant opportunistic pathogens.
Biofilm-related enterococcal infections, such as endocarditis, urinary tract infections, wound and …

Air particulate matter (PM) samples were collected in Singapore from 21 to 29 October 2010.
During this time period, a severe regional smoke haze episode lasted for a few days (21–…

Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has become an attractive area of research as it
is environmentally benign. The toxicity of AuNPs synthesized by chemical routes has been …

The present study aimed at evaluating the uptake of two widely used nanoparticles (NPs),
namely, silver (Ag) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) NPs by zebrafish embryos under different …

The present study was carried out to examine the dose–response of microcystin-LR (MC-LR)
and microcystin-RR (MC-RR) toxicity in adult Danio rerio (zebrafish) under balneation …

The genome sequences of many microbial species from the phytobiomes of several leafy
Asian greens remain unknown. Here, we address this gap by reconstructing 910 prokaryotic …

A simple and rapid extraction procedure was developed for determining aldehydes in rainwater
samples. This extraction technique involved the use of micro-solid-phase extraction in …
