Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Two Halophilic Archaeal Isolates from Chott El Jerid Using Inexpensive Carbon Sources
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The large use of conventional plastics has resulted in serious environmental problems. Polyhydroxyalkanoates represent a potent replacement to synthetic plastics because of their biodegradable nature. This study aimed to ...
Efficiency of benthic diatom-associated bacteria in the removal of benzo(a)pyrene and fluoranthene
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
We investigated the efficiency of a benthic diatom-associated bacteria in removing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and fluoranthene (Flt). The diatom, isolated from a PAH-contaminated sediment of the Bizerte Lagoon (Tunisia), was ...
Climatic Aridity Gradient Modulates the Diversity of the Rhizosphere and Endosphere Bacterial Microbiomes of Opuntia ficus-indica
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
© Copyright © 2020 Karray, Gargouri, Chebaane, Mhiri, Mliki and Sayadi. Recent microbiome research has shown that soil fertility, plant-associated microbiome, and crop production can be affected by abiotic environmental ...
A novel bioprocess combining anaerobic co-digestion followed by ultra-filtration and microalgae culture for optimal olive mill wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Treatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW) has received considerable research globally due to its influence on the technical, economic, and environmental sustainability of wastewater biogas production. This work presents a ...
Olive oil by‑product’s contribution to the recovery of phenolic compounds from microalgal biomass: biochemical characterization, anti‑melanogenesis potential, and neuroprotective effect
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Recently, the use of microalgae in the treatment of olive mill wastewater as a safe method for reducing pollutants has gained more attention. However, the contribution of such by-product to the improvement of the pharmacological ...
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth–promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ...
Semi-continuous anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste: digester performance and microbial population dynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion is an attractive approach for the management of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and for the recovery of energy from this waste. A semi-continuous digestion of OFMSW was conducted on ...
Performance of UASB reactor treating waste activated sludge: Effect of electro-chemical disintegration on the anaerobic microbial population structure and abundance
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The electro-Fenton (EF) disintegration using iron electrodes was performed for the pretreatment of waste activated sludge (WAS). The effect of this electro-chemical pretreatment on anaerobic digestion (AD) performance and ...
Pilot-scale petroleum refinery wastewaters treatment systems: performance and microbial communities' analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluated firstly the performance of the Continuous Stirred Tank bioReactor system (CSTR) for the treatment of highly toxic petroleum refinery wastewaters at the pilot-scale. The reduction of the COD, BOD5, ...
Olive agroforestry shapes rhizosphere microbiome networks associated with annual crops and impacts the biomass production under low-rainfed conditions
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
Agroforestry (AF) is a promising land-use system to mitigate water deficiency, particularly in semi-arid areas. However, the belowground microbes associated with crops below trees remain seldom addressed. This study aimed ...
