With the rising awareness of microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) application in various fields, halophilic microorganisms which produce EPSs have received broad attention. A newly identified Kocuria rosea ZJUQH CCTCC M2016754 was determined to be a moderate halobacterium on account of its successful adaption to the environment containing 10% NaCl. The optimal combination of fermentation medium ...

This study investigates the phytoremediation of composite industrial effluent (CIE) released from multiple industries within SIIDCUL cluster, Haridwar, India, using sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) plant. Batch-mode experiments were conducted three selected concentrations (0%: borewell water as control, 50%, and 100%) CIE for 45 days. Results show that N. plant significantly reduced loads...

background; various industries produce and discharge wastes containing different heavy metals into the environment. apart from using living biomass, dead and dried biomasses have been introduced as a new field of biotreatment technology. method; the cadmium (cd) (ii) removal characteristics of live (growing), dead (autoclaved), and oven-dried biomasses of aspergillus versicolor were examined as...

A new, simple, and rapid one-step integrated method for the biotechnology treatment of raw olive oil mill waste (OMW) is discussed. The innovations introduced involve primarily application microaerobic composting processes OMW bioremediation plus addition both a zeolite tailor-made biocatalyst extremely rich in soil microorganisms. latter operates at wide pH range provides, apart from microorga...

Magnesium Ferrite (MgFe2O4) spinel structures prepared by a solid-state reaction was used as an anode modifier in the microbial fuel cell (MFC) treatment of Congo red dye. The performance reactors with unmodified stainless-steel mesh (CR-1) and MgFe2O4 coated stainless steel (CR-2) were tested compared followed aerobic treatment. peak power density observed to be 295.936 430.336 mW/m2 revealing...

Resin acids are the major toxicants in pulp and paper mill effluents (PPMEs), and they form pitch interfering with papermaking. Efficient and reliable resin acid removal is critically important to prevent toxicity discharge and ensure runability of paper machines. Two resin aciddegrading bacteria, Pseudomonas abietaniphila BKME-9 and Zoogloea resiniphila DhA-35, were tested in laboratory sequen...

A bacterial consortium BMP1/SDSC/01 consisting of six isolates was isolated from textile effected soil, sludge, and textile effluent from Hudiara drain near Nishat Mills Limited, Ferozepur Road, Lahore, Pakistan. It was selected because of being capable of degrading and detoxifying red, green, black, and yellow textile dyes. The pH and supplements were optimized to enhance the decolorization ab...

Shake flask studies examined the rate and extent of biodegradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 42 components of coal-tar creosote present in contaminated groundwater recovered from the American Creosote Works Superfund site, Pensacola, Fla. The ability of indigenous soil microorganisms to remove these contaminants from aqueous solutions was determined by gas chromatographic analysis of organ...
