Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ...
Recycling of gas-to-liquid sludge as a potential organic amendment: Effect on soil and cotton properties under hyperarid conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) sludge is a specific wastewater treatment by-product, which is generated during the industrial process of natural gas conversion to transportation fuels. This least studied sludge is pathogen-free and ...
Statistical Analysis of Cultural Parameters Influencing Delta-Endotoxins and Proteases Productions by Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a spore-forming bacterium that produces delta-endotoxins, which are toxic to lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans. Concomitantly with production of delta-endotoxins, B. thuringiensis produces ...
Use of DPSIR Framework to Analyze Water Resources in Qatar and Overview of Reverse Osmosis as an Environment Friendly Technology
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Qatar and other countries of Gulf Cooperation Council are among the most water scarce countries in the world and are being characterized as “high‐water risk” countries by Water Resource Institute. Therefore, it is important ...
A MALDI-TOF study of bio-remediation in highly weathered oil contaminated soils
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
We have shown that Bacillus cereus is dominating the bacterial population at three polluted oil-industry sites
where weather and soil conditions are extreme in terms of temperature, UV-radiation and salinity. A minor ...
Nutritional Requirements to Improve Delta-Endotoxins Production of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki Using Mixed Designs Modelling
(
Springer India
, 2017 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensiskurstaki is a soil bacterium that produces insecticidal toxins called delta-endotoxins. In order to increase the toxic crystal concentrations in a low-cost culture medium and thus improve the biopesticide ...
Microbially induced calcite precipitation in calcareous soils by endogenous Bacillus cereus, at high pH and harsh weather
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) improves the physical properties of soils by increasing the solid content, decreasing the pore sizes and improving the rigidity of the particle-to-particle contact ending ...
Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ...
Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(
Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia - SBM
, 2014 , Article)
In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...
