Yeast surface display (YSD) has proven to be a valuable tool in cellular engineering, particularly for conferring biocatalytic activities to cells, thereby enabling the creation of novel whole-cell biocatalyst...
The use of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wastes, which often contain various additives and contaminants such as metals and pigments that make mechanical recycling and reusability difficult, as...
The conversion of maize silage, byproduct of bioethanol production, into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through anaerobic fermentation (AF) is a promising approach. Due to the diverse microbial metabolisms in...
In the present study, cow dung from indigenous and exotic breeds of cow were explored for its microbial population, plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, enzyme activity, antagonistic activity, and pot experime...
Recently, biodegradation has gained importance as a potential solution to alleviate pollution. This study dives into the physicochemical transformations of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to enhance biodegrad...
In this study, a novel approach was developed to increase the intracellular trehalose concentration in M. brunneum blastospores by uptake from the medium, improving their desiccation tolerance. Briefly, placing t...
Estrogenic pollutants, especially conjugated estrogens (CEs), have become an important environmental problem due to their potential interference with aquatic ecosystems and threats to human health. As an effec...
Here, we present methods for screening any newly isolated microbial biobank for enzymes, antioxidants, and additional secondary metabolites. Bioactive compounds and enzymes produced by fungi have many applicat...
Equipping cells with artificial shells or coats has been explored throughout the last decade, with goals such as immunomasking, in vivo tracing, and imparting tolerance to various biotic and abiotic stressors....
The increasing rate of soil contamination poses a major challenge to the sustainability of the ecosystem. Acid mine drainage (AMD) and crude oil are among the major soil contaminants contributing to the degrad...
Cephalexin (CFX), a β-lactam antibiotic which is identified for the treatment of different disease infections, has been reported as a micropollutant in wastewater released from sewage, hospital, or pharmaceuti...
Biotechnology and biomanufacturing development has the potential to strengthen the bioeconomy as new opportunities in many areas such as the energy, chemical, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and food industries c...
This study explores the biodegradation potential of microbial isolates focusing on their ability to utilize biopolymers as sole carbon source. Previously described isolates have been investigated through agar-...
An increased amount of toxins has collected in the environment (air, water, and soil), and traditional methods for managing these pollutants have failed miserably. Advancement in modern remediation techniques ...
The global plastic waste crisis has triggered the development of novel methods for removal of recalcitrant polymers from the environment. Biotechnological approaches have received particular attention due to t...
One of the waste-to-energy conversion technologies is the use of waste from the processing of medicinal plants to create biogas, which may then be used to generate electricity. The maximum capacity for produci...
Textile industries discharge significant amounts of toxic chemicals, including residual dyes and various other xenobiotic compounds, into the environment, leading to adverse effects such as toxicity, mutagenic...
Electronic waste, also known as e-waste, is the discarded or by-products of electronic appliances, constituting a major percentage of the total solid waste produced globally. Such e-waste is mostly composed of...
Diversifying the use of climate-smart crops such as sweet sorghum has the potential to solve integrated food, bioenergy, feed, and land management problems. The study’s purpose is to quantify the sugar content of...
Furans, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), are compounds of great importance that can serve as starting materials for the synthesis of polymers. Their production from lignocellulose-derived sugar streams o...
