Aquatic pollution is one of the main problems due to rapid development in industrialization. The remediation of industrial wastewater (IWW) by microorganisms is an environmentally friendly technique. This study was conducted to assess pollution load...
The accumulation of various types of waste containing both organic and inorganic metal-containing compounds is extremely hazardous for living organisms. The possibility of polymer degradation, biohydrogen synthesis, and metal detoxification via the d...
The conventional treatments used to remove dyes produced as a result of different industrial activities are not completely effective. At times, some toxic by-products are generated, affecting aquatic ecosystems. In this article, an efficient use of m...
Isomaltulose is mainly produced from sucrose by microbial fermentation, when the utilization of sucrose contributes a high production cost. To achieve a low-cost isomaltulose production, soy molasses was introduced as an alternative substrate. Firstl...
The microbial removal of antibiotics is an environmentally friendly solution to antibiotic contamination in water. However, the main limitations for its application are the difficulty of direct utilization of antibiotics by bacteria and incomplete re...
Phosphorus is a key macronutrient central to the processes of energy and information storage and exchange in the cell. Single-celled photosynthetic organisms, including microalgae, accumulate intracellular reserves of phosphorus (mostly in the form o...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioremoval mechanism of anthracycline antibiotics by the white-rot fungus B. adusta CCBAS 930. The activity of oxidoreductases and levels of phenolic compounds and free radicals were determined during the bio...
Antibiotics and heavy metals have caused serious contamination of the environment and even resulted in public health concerns. It has therefore become even more urgent to adopt a sustainable approach to combating these polluted environments. In this...
The sustainable management of biomass is a key global challenge that demands compliance with fundamental requirements of social and environmental responsibility and economic effectiveness. Strategies for the valorization of waste biomass from agrifoo...
Effects of 12 heavy metals on growth of free and alginate-immobilized cells of the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were investigated. The tested metals ions include Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Se, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn. Toxicity values (EC50) were...
The contamination of ecosystems with heavy metals necessitates the inspection of effective, eco-friendly bioremediation strategies over expensive conventional methods. This study examined the capacity of filamentous fungi to withstand and remove heav...
Microalgae are naturally adapted to the fluctuating availability of phosphorus (P) to opportunistically uptake large amounts of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and safely store it in the cell as polyphosphate. Hence, many microalgal species are remarkably r...
Heavy metals are one of the main threats to marine life and ecosystems and any remedial action in that regard is urgently required. The aim of this work is to study the bioremoval of cadmium, chromium and lead in a microalgae strain Chlorococcum dors...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are recalcitrant pollutants which tend to persist in soils and aquatic environments and their remediation is among the most challenging with respect to organic pollutants. Anaerobic digestion (AD) supplement...
This study investigates the use of a UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor operating under continuous anoxic conditions to remediate Pb(II) contamination in aqueous environments. Two experimental runs were conducted to evaluate the microbiom...
Water and soil polluted by heavy metals (HMs) are the primary problem due to rapidly increasing urbanization and industrialization. For the treatment of polluted soil, phytoremediation turns into a cost-effective and eco-friendly technique. The curre...
Phosphorus (P) is an important and irreplaceable macronutrient. It is central to energy and information storage and exchange in living cells. P is an element with a “broken geochemical cycle” since it lacks abundant volatile compounds cap...
This study aimed to explore the impact of various ornamental plants (Heliconia psittacorum, Etlingera elatior, Spatyphilum walisii) grown in different filter media (porous river rock (PR) and tepezyl (TZ)) on the removal of pollutants in vertical-sub...
