Summary: The study investigated the toxic effect of diesel fuel on callus cultures of Petunia grandiflora. It was found that up to 9 minutes of diesel exposure did not result in necrosis of the calli, suggesting a sub-lethal effect. The diesel-treated calli showed changes in cell morphology and successfully regenerated shoots with higher biomass compared to the control group when grown in diesel-contaminated soil.

Summary: Industrial effluents cause water pollution and impact aquatic and terrestrial life. This study isolated efficient fungal strains, identified as Aspergillus fumigatus (SN8c) and Aspergillus terreus (SN40b), from the aquatic environment. These isolates were chosen for their ability to efficiently decolorize and detoxify Remazol brilliant blue (RBB) dye, commonly used in various industries. Among 70 different fungal isolates screened, 19 demonstrated dye decolorization capabilities, with SN8c and SN40b showing the highest decolorization capabilities in liquid medium. The study showed the potential of these indigenous aquatic fungi to restore contaminated sites and support aquatic and terrestrial life.

Summary: In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) supported on mercapto-functionalized clay were used for the decolorization of Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB). The effects of four parameters (NaBH4 amount, CBB concentration, time, and catalyst amount) on the decolorization efficiency and the optimization of the process were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, a decolorization efficiency of 97.73% for CBB was achieved. The kinetic and thermodynamic results indicated that the decolorization rate increased with temperature and the process was endothermic and favorable.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the decolourization and bioremediation ability of non-encapsulated and encapsulated Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain KBN 12) against the azo dye brilliant blue (BB). It was found that the encapsulation of P. aeruginosa KBN 12 proved to be an effective method for BB dye decolourization or remediation, achieving decolourization rates of 87.67% under optimized conditions. FTIR and GC analysis revealed changes in the functional and chemical groups of the BB dye after decolourization.

Summary: This study evaluated the stainability of several acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) with Brilliant Blue G (BBG) in vitro. The results showed that all acrylic IOLs can be stained with BBG, with hydrophilic IOLs being more susceptible to staining. Precautions should be taken in surgeries requiring the use of BBG staining, and efforts should be made to ensure sufficient intraoperative washing of the dye.

Summary: Our studies demonstrate that Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 shows promise as a chemical chaperone for stabilising the alpha-helical native human insulin conformers, preventing their aggregation and increasing insulin secretion. This multipolar effect, along with its non-toxic nature, could be valuable for the development of highly bioactive, targeted, and biostable therapeutic insulin.

Summary: The extensive industrial activities have led to an increase in chromium contamination, which severely affects plant growth and is recognized as a human carcinogen. Cr(VI) is the most toxic and persistent form in soil, and plants uptake Cr through various transporters. Up-regulation of detoxification genes can confer tolerance in plants under Cr stress.

Summary: Although irrigation water is vital for plant growth, it can also become a source of pollution if contaminated with harmful substances like cadmium (Cd). This study conducted a pot experiment to evaluate the capability of Gladiolus grandiflora L. to accumulate Cd and be used as a sustainable approach for Cd phytoremediation. The experiment applied different levels of Cd irrigation water to the plants and found that higher Cd accumulation levels resulted in reduced growth-related parameters. The study also revealed that the corm of Gladiolus grandiflora L. was the main storage site for Cd, and it showed good potential for phytoremediation in low to moderate Cd-polluted environments.
