Bioconversion of Textile Industry Sludge into Soil Enriching Material Through Vermistabilization
Abstract: Disposal of textile sludge onto the environment imposes deleterious effects on the micro and macroflora. Vermistabilization of sludge could be considered as the pioneering solution for the prevailing concern. In this regard, textile sludge has been admixed with cow dung in the ratio of 1:2 to enhance the suitability of the sludge as growth medium for Eudrilus eugeniae. Various physicochemical and worm growth parameters have been evaluated to discern the …

Strategies for Reduction of Carbon Emission in India: A Policy Review
Abstract: Road transport is accountable for considerable emissions in the atmosphere in the form of carbon content, nitrogen, sulphur and other particulate matter. The average annual concentration of suspended particulate matter is very high in the Indian cities reaching the threshold of the prescribed critical levels set by the WHO. It has been observed that environmental pollution control policies have minimum impact on the CO2 emission(1) This review contributes a reassessment …

Mycoremediation, a form of Bioremediation
Abstract: It is very essential to break down and clean the environmental pollutants to get rid of polluted atmosphere. When this process is used by either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms it is known as bioremediation. On the other hand, when this process of bioremediation is performed by fungi-based technology to decontaminate the environment, it is known as mycoremediation. It has been proven that especially fungi like mushrooms of phylum …

Structural Modification of Sugarcane Bagasse using Alkaline, Acid, and Bleaching Pretreatments for Enhanced Yield of Poly (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (Cellulose) and Hemicellulose for Utilization as Biocomposites
Abstract: Sugarcane bagasse, a lignocellulosic byproduct generated in substantial quantities by the sugar industry, represents a promising feedstock for the sustainable production of enzymes and bio-based chemicals. Its high (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (cellulose) content, abundant availability, and low cost make it an ideal candidate for bioconversion processes. However, the inherent recalcitrance of bagasse, primarily due to its lignin-rich matrix, necessitates effective pretreatment strategies to enhance enzymatic digestibility. This study presents a comparative investigation …

Production of n-Butanol from Biomass by Two Step Fermentation Process Using Staphylococcus Sciuri
Abstract: This study explores the sustainable production of n-butanol from wheat husk through a two-step bioconversion process. Wheat husk, an abundant agricultural residue, was first fermented into butyric acid using Bacillus subtilis. The resultant butyric acid was then converted into n-butanol using Staphylococcus sciuri. The process leverages biological fermentation to create value-added chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, offering an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemical methods. Two steps fermentation process were carried to increase …

Polymer Composite-Integrated Food Waste Management Across the Supply Chain: Quantification, Process Modelling, and Techno-Economic Valorization
Abstract: Food waste produced throughout the global food supply chain constitutes one of the most impactful forms of inefficiency within the current food production system, producing roughly 931 million tons per year and resulting in economic losses above $1 trillion worldwide each year. One aspect that has not been sufficiently studied systematically is how polymer composite materials, such as membrane separation systems, polymer-coated extraction equipment, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) biorefinery infrastructure, and …

Studies on Waste Water Treatment in Three Phase Semifluidized Bed Bioreactors: Computer Aided Analysis and Software Development
Abstract: Design and performance analysis of three phase semifluidized biofilm reactors for aerobic treatment of industrial effluents have been attempted. Bioconversion processes that follow Monod-type kinetics and those following Haldane-Andrews kinetics (involving substrate inhibition to microbial growth) have been considered as typical cases. The bioreactor has been modelled mathematically by solving performance equations separately for the packed section and for the fluidized section, considering dispersed flow in both of these sections, …

Chicken Feather Degradation Using Thermus aquaticus YT-1 and Application of Keratinolytic Protease Produced
Abstract: ABSTRACTAim of the study undertaken was to develop a process to manage chicken feather waste, without use of potential infectious microorganism. Biodegradation of chicken feather mediated by production of keratinolytic protease involving use of non- pathogenic thermophile Thermus aquaticus was investigated. The structural complexity of native chicken feather acts as inducer to increase protease production as compared to feather meal. The keratinolytic protease produced demonstrated more than 50 % stability …

Review on Fibrolytic Microorganisms and Their Applications
Abstract: The primary renewable feedstock option on the planet is lignocellulosic biomass, which is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.. Lignocellulolytic microbes are categorized in to cellulolytic, xylanolytic and Lignolytic based on the plant material they degrade./Animal feed digestion and industrial bioconversion processes both heavily rely on the functioning of lignocellulolytic microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, whose enzymes may break down lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulolytic micro-organisms are found in various habitats …
