Immobilized microbial cells have been used extensively in various industrial and scientific
endeavours. However, immobilized cells have not been used widely for environmental …

The 16S rDNAs from 38 strains of the genus Nocardioides, two Aeromicrobium species and
Terrabacter tumescens were directly sequenced and then analysed. The mean nucleotide …

Heterocyclic nitrogenous bases are one of the most important class of compounds
containing N as a heteroatom, like pyridine and its derivatives. These compounds are of …

The performance of pyridine degradation by Paracoccus sp. strain KT-5 immobilized on
bamboo-based activated carbon was investigated and compared with that of free cells. The …

The wastewater generated from pyridine and cyanopyridine manufacturing plants is highly
complex in nature. It is characterized by high ammonia content, alkaline pH, and extremely …

The purpose of this study is to suggest an efficient process, which does not require a big
investment for the removal of pyridine from wastewater. Activated carbons developed from …

A Pseudomonas sp. strain NGK1 (NCIM 5120) capable of degrading naphthalene was
immobilized in polyurethane foam. The naphthalene-degrading activity of the freely …

An aerobic microorganism with an ability to utilize phenol as carbon and energy source was
isolated from a hydrocarbon contamination site by employing selective enrichment culture …

Methods, modelling and applications of gel immobilisation and micro-encapsulation of living
cells are reviewed. These two methods are most frequently used as they allow for excellent …

Encapsulated cell bioaugmentation is a novel alternative solution to in situ bioremediation of
contaminated aquifers. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of such a …
