An outdoor soil burial test was carried out to evaluate the degradation of commercially available LDPE carrier bags in natural soil for up to 2 years. Biodegradability of low density polyethylene films in soil was monitored using both optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After 7-9 months ...

The first attempts were made to investigate the performance of extreme thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus immobilized on granular activated carbon (GAC) utilizing palm oil mill effluent for hydrogen production. It found that the strain fermented well in raw palm oil mill effluent (POME...

Microbial copolymer was produced by a local isolate, Comamonas sp. EB 172, using mixed organic acids such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids as carbon sources in pH-stat fed-batch fermentation. Maximum polymer production (6.59 g/L) was achieved at 50 h of fermentation when 73.64 g/L mixed acids...

Abstract Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) granule formation in vivo in wild type Comamonas sp. EB172 grown in mixed organic acids under nitrogen limitation were visualized under transmission electron microscope (TEM). The early stages of PHBV production revealed dark-stained mediation el...

Abstract Commercial formulations of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were subjected to an outdoor soil burial test to investigate the environmental degradation under natural conditions. Samples periodically retrieved from soil were examined for changes in physical character, tensile properties,...

Background: Cisplatin is a common chemotherapeutic agent known to cause impairments often referred to as “chemo-brain.” Preclinical evidence suggests cisplatin induces toxicity via oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Methods: Twenty-five healthy adult male BALB/c mice ( n =5 per group) were rand...

Klebsiella pneumoniae strains that combine multidrug resistance and enhanced virulence pose a growing global public health threat. Understanding the genetic basis of these high-risk lineages is critical for surveillance and mitigation. We isolated K. pneumoniae JU-BAEC-01 from treated effluent of an...

This study presents an integrated approach for enhancing thermophilic biohydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) using eco-friendly hydroxyapatite (HAP) synthesized from waste eggshells. The synthesized HAP was applied as a bio-additive to stimulate microbial activity and facilitate c...
