Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ...
Interaction between indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in reconstituted mixtures for remediation of weathered oil in soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
It has been demonstrated that biostimulation is necessary to investigate the interactions between indigenous bacteria and establish an approach for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with weathered oil. This was ...
Optimization of bioinsecticides overproduction by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki using linear regression
(
Polish Society of Microbiologists
, 2013 , Article)
A multiple linear regression analyses were performed to screen for the significant factors simultaneously influencing production of delta-endotoxin, proteolytic activities and spore formation by a Bacillus thuringiensis ...
Characterization and assessment of process water from oil and gas production: A case study of process wastewater in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study characterized and assessed three different process water (PWWs) (S-1, S-2, and S-3) from oil and gas production in Qatar. The wastewater generated in various processing stages contains many harmful components ...
Immobilization of heavy metals by microbially induced carbonate precipitation using hydrocarbon-degrading ureolytic bacteria
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Crude oil contamination introduces multiple threats to human health and the environment, most of which are from toxic heavy metals. Heavy metals cause significant threats because of their persistence, toxicity, and ...
Proteomic analysis of T. qataranse exposed to lead (Pb) stress reveal new proteins with potential roles in Pb tolerance and detoxification mechanism
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
Soil lead (Pb) contamination is one of the environmental problems facing the modern world. Sources of Pb in soil include industrial activities such as mining and smelting processes, agricultural activities such as application ...
Investigating the simultaneous removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The status, content and availability of heavy metals and hydrocarbons are highly affected by weathering processes – particularly – in areas characterized by harsh conditions. Their concomitant removal by highly adapted ...
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 ...
