Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a polymer synthesized via the dehydration and condensation reaction between ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. PET has emerged as one of the most extensively employed plastic materials due to its exceptional plasticity and durability. Nevertheless, PET has a...

Fungal ability in production of organic acid has a crucial role in discoloration and degradation of different types of stone in culture heritages. Additionally, stone objects may support novel communities of microorganisms that are active in the biodeterioration process. This investigation focuses...

For pharmacological reasons many active organic pharmaceutical substances (AOPSs) are singly or multiply halogenated. Halogenation can confer optimised steric fitting of an AOPS to its molecular receptor; moreover, by increasing the lipophilicity of a compound, passive permeation through bilipid...

In the present study, a novel strategy for the effective production of hydrolase via fermentation of food waste was developed to improve methane production from anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS). Via the pre-fermentation of food waste, hydrolase could be efficiently enriched and...

Olive leaves are important by-products for the recovery of phenolic compounds and extracts with high phenolic content using lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) strains as glucosidase-positive strains are starter cultures used to control the...

Toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are often released into the environment during the combustion and processing of fossil fuels and are capable of causing significant pollution to people and the environment. One of the representative substances of PAHs is phenanthrene, which is often...

Environmental pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) involves a high-risk and have received considerable attention due to their carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic properties. Phenanthrene (PHE) is a low molecular weight PAH, which has three benzene rings. It is one of the ...

Patulin (PAT) is a toxic fungal metabolite that is widely distributed in food and poses a serious health risk to humans and animals. Hannaella sinensis has been found to be effective in controlling post-harvest diseases of apples. However, it is not known whether H. sinensis can degrade PAT. The...

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degrading strains resuscitated by resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) enlarged pure degraders to screen effective bio-inoculants for soil bioaugmentation. In this study, whole-genome analysis and PCB-degrading performance of a resuscitated strain LS1 were...

Removing recalcitrant organic contaminants from the soil via sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies are essential for environment and human health. Microbial enzyme is a promising biocatalyst, particularly in environmental bioremediation. To improve their stability and catalytic...
