A novel amylase producing bacterium FAD4 was isolated from the wastewater of a textile factory located in Soke (Aydın/Turkey). The production ability gram positive, coccoidal strain confirmed with plate assay. Morphological and 16S rRNA sequence analyses revealed that belongs to Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum species similarity 99.8%. optimal conditions for were determined as 72 h at 30 °C s...

Initiation and development of the industries producing specialty starches, modified food starches, high-fructose sweeteners, and food gums (hydrocolloids) over the past century provided major ingredients for the rapid and extensive growth of the processed food and beverage industries. Introduction of waxy maize starch and high-amylose corn starch occurred in the 1940s and 1950s, respectively. D...

This review presents microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that convert biochemical metabolic energy into electrical energy. Microbes can be fed with waste products rich in organic matter (domestic wastewater, lignocellulosic biomass, brewery wastewater, starch processing wastewater, landfill leachates etc.) to generate electricity. MFCs can also be used for wastewater treatment, as biosensors and produc...

From an industrial point of view, the use microorganisms as a wastewater bioremediation practice represents sustainable and economic alternative for conventional treatments. In this work, we investigated starch paper mill (PMW) with Aspergillus oryzae. This amylase-producing fungus was tested in submerged fermentation technology (SmF) solid-state (SSF) on rice hulls. The tests were conducted to...

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate wastewater organics as the precursors of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water supply. The focus was on the change in wastewater DBP precursors during biological degradation under simulated natural conditions. The wastewater and its treated secondary effluent were characterized for DBP formation potential (DBPFP) and DBP speciati...

The efficiency in treatment of treated wastewater from up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) plant using Wolffia arrhiza coupling with storage starch production from its cell are considered. The experiments were undertaken in batch bioreactor and treated wastewater from UASB was fed into the tank and completed with the control conditions of temperature (30 ̊C), light strength (2000 lx) and lig...
