For decades, a vast array of innovative biosorbents have been found out and used in the
removal of heavy metals, including bacteria, algae and fungi, etc. Although extensive …

The present state of constantly increasing plastic pollution is the major concern of scientific
researchers. The conventional techniques applied (ie, burning and landfilling) to get plastic …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic that is polymerized by terephthalic
acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG). In recent years, PET biodegradation and bioconversion …

Abstract Design of a microbial consortium is a newly emerging field that enables
researchers to extend the frontiers of biotechnology from a pure culture to mixed cultures. A …

Sediment is the one of most important storage of heavy metal. Microbiotas in sediment can
be used as the effective indicators of heavy metals. The goal of this study was to understand …

Metal contamination poses serious biotoxicity and bioaccumulation issues, affecting both
abiotic conditions and biological activity in ecosystem trophic levels, especially sediments …

Microbial remediation of metals can alleviate the concerns of metal pollution in the
environment. The microbial remediation, however, can be a complex process since …

The industrial contamination of marine sediments with mercury, silver, and zinc in Penang,
Malaysia was studied with bio-remediation coupled with power generation using membrane …

To assess the health of river ecosystems, it is essential to quantify the ecological risk of
heavy metals in river sediments and the structure of microbial communities. As important …

Recently, several studies have showed that both organic and inorganic fertilizers are
effective in immobilizing heavy metals at low cost, in comparison to other remediation …
