Despite their high persistence in the environment, organochlorines (OC) are widely used in
the pharmaceutical industry, in plastics, and in the manufacture of pesticides, among other …

Since most medicinal mushrooms are rare in nature, artificial cultivation and farming of their
fruiting bodies as well as biotechnological cultivation of their fungal biomass in bioreactors …

Soil microorganisms play an important role in the degradation of PAHs and use various
metabolic pathways for this process. The effect of soil pH, different soil amendments and the …

The potential of a major bioresource (Peanut hull) for biogas generation was evaluated. A
sample was pretreated using combinations of mechanical and thermo-alkaline procedures …

Simple Summary White-rot fungi are known to selectively degrade lignin in biomass but
were reported to require a longer fermentation period to complete the process. However …

The overuse of antibiotics and subsequent enrichment of antibiotic resistant microbes in the
natural and built environments is a severe threat to global public health. In this study, a …

Biofiltration is one of the main alternatives developed to improve wastewater quality and
increase its recyclability. Support materials are extremely important when using this …

The study explored biogas production from the co-digestion of Arachis hypogaea hull and
poultry droppings. Mechanical and thermo-alkaline pretreatments were applied to a sample …

A laccase produced by Pleurotus ostreatus MTCC 142 under solid-state fermentation using
co-substrates of paddy straw and corn husk (1.5: 1.5, gw/w) showed an activity of 2.54 U …

Cu 2 O supported on peanut shell (Cu 2 O@ PS) was prepared by the reaction of copper
acetate and peanut shell powder as a naturally available biopolymer support. The prepared …
