The present paper investigates cellulose degrading bacteria present in kitchen waste for highest cellulase activity and growth of bacteria at optimum temperature and pH. Sample was collected from domestic kitchen waste and bacterial strains were isolated using nutrient agar media. Enrichment technique was used for isolating CDB (cellulose degrading bacteria) strains. The objective of research w...

Arthropod development can be used to determine the time of colonization of human remains to infer a minimum postmortem interval. The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera. Stratiomyidae) is native to North America and is unique in that its larvae can consume a wide range of decomposing organic material, including carrion. Larvae development was observed on six resources: control poul...

This paper examines the influence of biomass directed to anaerobic digestion on quality digestate, specifically focusing presence undesirable substances, such as plastics, including biodegradable ones. It analyses susceptibility selected bioplastics degradation and addresses problem reliable identification microplastics in both feedstock—directed digestion—and produced digestate. The review ind...
