Development of Functionalized Date Pits Adsorbent for the Removal of Boron, Lithium, and Molybdenum from Groundwater in the State of Qatar
(Biological and Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Dissertation)
Groundwater (GW) quality deterioration is one of the main water security issues in
Qatar. Although the GW in the State of Qatar is not used as drinking water for the
public, it is widely used for agricultural, domestic, ...
Hydrocarbon Degrading Candidate Bacteria Isolated From Qatar Polluted Soil and Molecular Identification of Key Enzymes Coding Genes
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Sixteen bacterial strains were isolated form contaminated soils and identified as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus circulans, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus luteus, Raoultella ornithinolytica and ...
Anticancer Activity of Guggulsterone in Multiple Myeloma Cells
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Guggulsterone (GS), a phytosteroid derived from guggul plants' gum resin, has
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although, the GS is found to have
cytotoxic effects in Multiple Myeloma (MM) cells, the ...
Development of Biosurfactants from Indigenous Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria for Enhancing Remediation of Weathered Oily-Soils and Oil Recovery in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Bacterial strains were isolated from highly weathered oil-contaminated sites,
identified, and differentiated based on their gene expression with the use of matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass ...
EFFECTS OF ACTIVE PHYTOCHEMICALS OF PROSOPIS JULIFLORA AS ANTI-SPOILING AGENTS OF POSTHARVEST FRUITS
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Master Thesis)
Global increase in food demand has made the fresh produce spoilage a worldwide concern. Adverse effects of commercial spoilage control agents on human health and on the environment are major public concern. In this study, ...
MUNICIPAL BIO-SOLIDS SOIL APPLICATION: SOIL AND PLANT QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Dissertation)
Biosolids are utilized worldwide as an organic fertilizer and can enrich barren soils in Qatar, especially if the proper dosage is used.However, it is crucial to study this newly introduced product to the Qatari environment ...
INFLUENCE OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF) ISOLATED FROM ARID ZONES ON PLANT GROWTH, PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS AND RESPONSE TO SALINITY CONDITIONS IN ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA)
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Dissertation)
The present study is aimed to isolate native effective species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from the Qatari environment and to subject these isolates for evaluation to support the growth of Medicago sativa under saline ...
INVESTIGATION OF SPATIAL AND SEASONAL MICROBIOME DYNAMICS AND ASSOCIATED ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY IN SCLERACTINIAN CORAL PLATYGYRA DAEDALEA IN THE ARABIAN GULF
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Master Thesis)
Corals have critical interactions with their associated microbes, which play an integral part in maintaining coral health and stability. Environmental factors can influence the microbial community of the coral resulting ...
IMPACTS ASSESSMENT OF DESALINATION BRINE DISCHARGE ON THE MARINE MICROBIAL BIODIVERSITY: A METAGENOMIC APPROACH
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Master Thesis)
Being a hotspot of desalination, the health of the marine ecosystem of the Arabian Gulf is facing a serious threat. Many studies are suggesting that desalination activities could potentially harm the marine life, however, ...
ISOLATION OF ENDOGENOUS LACTIC ACID BACTERIA AND DEVELOPMENT OF SILAGE OF PALM TREES LEAVES FOR LIVESTOCK IN QATAR
(Environmental Sciences, 2022 , Master Thesis)
In Qatar, there are relatively low agricultural by-products available, mainly from palm trees for feeding livestock. Preservation of palm leaves is a problem due to harsh environmental conditions. Ensiling palm leaves with ...
