An overview of brine management: Emerging desalination technologies, life cycle assessment, and metal recovery methodologies
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
This study examines which management methods are the most recent and advanced in managing rejected brine generated from desalination plants. It also provides up-to-date information regarding the most adequate technologies ...
Overcoming the production limitations of Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122 bioinsecticides in low-cost medium
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
For low-cost production of Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122 bioinsecticide, a cheap complex medium was optimized. Diluted seawater was used as the source of micronutrients, especially sodium chloride, ...
Improvement of Photorhabdus temperata bioinsecticides production in low-cost media through adequate fermentation technology
(
Wiley Subscription Services, Inc.
, 2012 , Article)
To develop a cost effective process for bioinsecticides production by Photorhabdus temperata, dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements were investigated in both the complex and the optimized media using diluted seawater as a ...
Combinatorial effect of mutagenesis and medium component optimization on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens antifungal activity and efficacy in eradicating Botrytis cinerea
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2017 , Article)
This work is directed towards Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain BLB371 metabolite production for biocontrol of fungal phytopathogens. In order to maximise antifungal metabolite production by this strain, two approaches ...
Correlation between delta-endotoxin and proteolytic activities produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki growing in an economic production medium
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram positive bacterium that produces an insecticidal crystalline protein making it one of the most important biocontrol agents for pest management. Bioinsecticides based on B. thuringiensis ...
Antifungal activities of an endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf1TZ harbouring genes from pyoluteorin and phenazine clusters
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2010 , Article)
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf1TZ was inhibitory in vitro to a number of phytopathogenic fungi and could protect vine plantlets against Botrytis cinerea. Total protection was reached after 3 weeks of bacterial inoculation. The ...
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ...
Environmental Burkholderia cepacia strain CS5 acting by two analogous alkyl-quinolones and a didecyl-phthalate against a broad spectrum of phytopathogens fungi
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
An environmental Burkholderia cepacia strain named Cs5 was isolated and identified first using API biochemical identification system and then with 16S rDNA and recA sequence homology search. This bacterium exhibited a broad ...
Improvement of Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production by sporeless and sporulating strains using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
Statistical experimental designs, involving a Plackett-Burman design followed by a rotatable central composite design were used to optimize the culture medium constituents for Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production. ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
