Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...
Utilization of nitrogen-rich agricultural waste streams by microalgae for the production of protein and value-added compounds
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Current food and feed production practices via agricultural processes generate waste streams often rich in nitrogen. Conversion of the nitrogen in agricultural waste into valuable products would prevent environmental ...
Potential for native hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria to remediate highly weathered oil-polluted soils in Qatar through self-purification and bioaugmentation in biopiles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Petroleum-derived contamination events constitute a unique environmental issue in the arid areas because of the weathering processes, accentuated due to harsh conditions and representing the main origin of failure of ...
Identification and overcome of limitations of weathered oil hydrocarbons bioremediation by an adapted Bacillus sorensis strain
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
Because of the high production of oil and gas in Qatar, the likelihood of oil spill occurrence is most probably susceptible to happen. Contaminated soil treatment is very expensive. Cost effective mechanisms are investigated ...
Potential of mercury-tolerant bacteria for bio-uptake of mercury leached from discarded fluorescent lamps
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, ten bacterial strains were found to be mercury resistant after their isolation from Qatari coastal sediments. Tolerance was found to be up to 100–150 ppm for five strains. Those strains had optimum growth ...
Microalgal bioremediation of brackish aquaculture wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Rapid aquaculture industry development contributed to a major increase in aquaculture wastewater generation. In the context of a circular economy, aquaculture wastewater treatment should simultaneously recover nutrients ...
Study of bacterial interactions in reconstituted hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial consortia from a local collection, for the bioremediation of weathered oily-soils
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
To enhance the process of bacterial remediation of weathered hydrocarbons, the area of Dukhan, Qatar, was considered as a model for weathering processes. Self-purification by indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria showed ...
Perspectives of future water sources in Qatar by phytoremediation: biodiversity at ponds and modern approach
(
Bellwether Publishing, Ltd.
, 2021 , Article Review)
Anthropogenic and industrial wastewater (IWW) could be an additional future source of water to support the needs of the people of the State of Qatar. New lagoons have been built using modern technologies to optimize water ...
Investigation and Application of a Novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KIBGE-AB9) for the Biodegradation of Malathion in Agriculture Soil
(
Friends Science Publishers
, 2023 , Article)
Malathion, an organophosphate insecticide despite its significant benefits in agricultural productivity, is an important pollutant and food contaminant which affects the non-target species. This research aimed at finding ...
