Bioactive substance from organic waste in tomato plant

Antagonistic activity of bioactive compounds extracted from cyanobacterium Oscillatoria isolated from oil refinery waste

The aim of the present study was to isolate cyanobacteria from oil refinery waste water and detection of antagonistic activity of their extracts on four species of pathogenic bacteria. The cyanobacterium was isolated and purified on Blue green algae medium number 11 (BG-11) medium. Methanol and water extracts prepared from the cultured cyanobacterium after 45 days growth on BG-11 medium. The bi...

Lead Removal by Waste Organic Plant Source Materials Review

Many works have been made by research scholars to remove lead from wastewaters using different sources of organic materials derived from plant origin. In this paper an attempt has been made to review different sources of waste organic materials and the respective carbon materials which have been used for the removal of lead(II) from water and wastewater based on recent literature review.

Thermochemical Pretreatments of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste from a Mechanical-Biological Treatment Plant

The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) usually contains high lignocellulosic and fatty fractions. These fractions are well-known to be a hard biodegradable substrate for biological treatments and its presence involves limitations on the performance of anaerobic processes. To avoid this, thermochemical pretreatments have been applied on the OFMSW coming from a full-scale mechanica...

Bioactive secondary metabolites from acid mine waste extremophiles.

The extremophilic microbes of the Berkeley Pit Lake are a valuable source of new and interesting secondary metabolites. It is of particular interest that these acidophilic microbes produce small molecule inhibitors of pathways associated with low pH and high Eh. These same small molecules also inhibit molecular pathways induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation in mammalian cell...
