Addressing plastic pollution has become a global consensus, and synthetic biology technology offers sustainable solutions for plastic production and waste management.Recently, researchers in South Korea summarized the latest developments in microbial production and plastic degradation, as well as the potential contributions of microbial-based synthetic biology ...
Tenets of BioSafe Systems’ Sustainability Products we develop and sell will not leave any lasting chemical, botanical or microbial legacy behind. They must be as biodegradable as possible. Our activated peroxygen technology is a perfect example of hard-hitting, effective chemistry that biodegrades within 20 minutes of its application, ...
Biodegradation in a fixed-bed reactor was not observed at environmental concentrations of 9 μg/L in aqueous compost and soil extract (observation period 56 days). Only in diluted effluent of a wastewater treatment plant did biodegradation start, after 17 days of operation, and acesulfame completely fade, within 28 days. ...
The FBSBR was fed with synthetic wastewater containing sucrose and atrazine at four hydraulic retention times to assess biodegradation of atrazine by a microbial consortium for removal from aquatic environments. ...
This study aims to investigate the biological processes related to the biodegradable potential of growing microbial cells for contaminated water treatment. ...
However, the highest test concentration specified in TG301C, 100 mg/L, may cause microbial toxicity and incomplete biodegradation. We performed TG301C tests at test concentrations of 30 mg/L for 13 substances that were readily biodegradable in ready biodegradability tests but not in TG301C tests. Of the five substances with ...
Fertilizers and water were added later to stimulate the biodegradation process. Some native microorganisms (located in the native soil) with the capacity to metabolize contaminated substances and its growth were stimulated in place in order to increase the biodegradation activity. The biodegradation of hydrocarbons by native or introduced ...
Therefore, researchers are looking for methods with lower energy consumption and cost and higher efficiency. In this study, biodegradation of ATZ by microbial consortium was evaluated in the aquatic environment. ...
Agro-waste materials, such as sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) waste from the citrus industry, are rich in readily metabolisable carbohydrates that can supplement microbial activity and thus support biodegradation of toxic compounds in wastewater. This study reports on optimal operating conditions for the continuous biodegradation of F-CN in ...
The water-soluble phase of trinitrotoluene-containing sludge (SLP) was characterized with regard to trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentration, ecotoxicity, and a model biodegradation experiment as evaluation criteria for further development of appropriate treatment technologies. ...
Solutions-IES monitored performance over 42 months comparing biodegradation, geo-chemical and microbial performance parameters. The Design Phase I: Sixteen 18-ft deep injec-tion wells, 5-ft on center (FIG. 1), were paired to inject and recirculate; then pairs reversed for more injection and re-circulation (approx. 84 hrs). ...
There was high positive correlation between cyanide biodegradation and microbial growth (0.90 ≤ R² ≤ 0.97). The Monod kinetic model adequately described the dynamic behaviour of cyanide degradation by the different bacterial isolates. Thus, the study revealed the possibility of using the bacterial isolates in the biotreatment of cyanide waste effluents.Keywords: ...
Microbial agents are designed to enhance the biodegradation of oil at any, location and would be most useful in areas where the population of indigenous oil degraders is small. ...
This study aimed to determine the effects of temperature on biodegradation, microbial population density in composting residual OFMSW after anaerobic digestion. ...
Formation of cleavage products such as p-nitroaniline was observed in the case of Dianix Orange E-3R, indicating reductive cleavage of the azo linkage of the dye.Keywords: biodegradation, effluent, environment, microbial decolorization, textile disperse ...
A mathematical model was developed to assess limiting step of mass transfer in the n-hexadecane (HXD) biodegradation by a microbial consortium. A double Monod kinetic (oxygen and HXD) for biomass production was successfully used to describe the experimental data. ...
The enriched microbial community was capable of biodegrading HCB when cultivated in minimal salts medium and supplied HCB as the sole carbon source. The efficiencies of microbial community in the degradation of HCB under different pH and temperatures were examined. The phylogenetic analysis for the nearly complete sequences of 16S rDNA ...
The analytical data for the past 10 years indicates that an acclimated microbial population capable of completely biodegrading the 1,1,1-TCA and PCE to ethane and ethene is present at the site. ...
One project utilized accelerated anaerobic in-situ bioremediation to promote the anaerobic biodegradation of TCE and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) in the groundwater. ...
The microbial degradation of phenols has been reviewed including the phenol-degrading microbes, factors affecting degradability, and the use of biotechnology with emphasis on degradation mechanisms and their kinetics. ...
