BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential of magnetic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core/polyethyleneimine (PEI) shell (mag-PEI) nanoparticles, which possess high saturation magnetization for gene delivery. By using mag-PEI nanoparticles as a gene carrier, this study focused on evaluation of transfection efficiency under magnetic induction. The potential role of t...

Rhizoremediation is increasingly becoming a green and sustainable alternative to physico-chemical methods for remediation of contaminated environments through the utilization symbiotic relationship between plants their associated soil microorganisms in root zone. The overall efficiency can be enhanced by identifying suitable plant-microbe combinations specific contaminants supporting process wi...

Large pilot scale bioremediation approaches were implemented for the treatments of oily sludge (OS) characterised by alkaline pH (pH > 9), high concentration metals (3% dry weight) and total petroleum hydrocarbons content (TPH) rangingbetween 22,000 67,300 mg kg ?1 from a Tunisian refinery. The included bioaugmentation biostimulation with autochthonous isolated bacterial strains consortia. Chem...

Rhizoremediation potential of different wild plant species for total (aliphatic) petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)-contaminated soils was investigated. Three-week-old seedlings Acacia inaequilatera, pyrifolia, stellaticeps, Banksia seminuda, Chloris truncata, Hakea prostrata, Hardenbergia violacea, and Triodia wiseana were transplanted in a soil contaminated with diesel engine oil as TPH at pollution...

Post-harvest oil palm that does not comply with the Factory standart can cause losses in reducing production of fresh fruit bunches. The objectives this study are 1) To analyze he stages harvest and sources result risk harvesting FFB each post-harvest chain is traversed to TPH at Koperasi Petani Sawit Mandiri (KOPSA-M), Pangkalan Baru Village, Kampar Regency. 2) amount yield loss possible That ...

due to the location of a domestic, industrial and agricultural zone near the caspian sea, this water body has long been under pressure and environmental threat. as a result of development of oil production activities in caspian region, such as oil exploration and extraction, a large volume of oil related pollutants is released annually into this important water body. considering the fact that h...
