Adaptation behaviour of bacterial species and impact on the biodegradation of biodiesel-diesel

Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Marx, S.; Brink, A. (Brazilian Society of Chemical Engineering, 2017)

Two bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to different concentrations of diesel to increase their adaptation to the fossil fuel, and were used for the degradation of diesel-biodiesel ...
Molecular Characterisation of Bacteria and their Degradation Role on Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Wastewater from Gaborone (Botswana) and Mafikeng (South Africa)

Mathews, Spar (North-West University (South Africa), 2018)

This thesis is a study on biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in wastewater by bacteria isolated from wastewater as an alternative means of treating wastewater for ...
Tolerance and growth kinetics of bacteria isolated from gold and gemstone mining sites in response to heavy metal concentrations

Oladipo, Oluwatosin Gbemisola; Ezeokoli, Obinna Tobechukwu; Maboeta, Mark Steve; Bezuidenhout, Jacobus Johannes; Tiedt, Louwrens R.; Jordaan, Anine; Bezuidenhout, Cornelius Carlos (Elsevier, 2018)

Response and growth kinetics of microbes in contaminated medium are useful indices for the screening and selection of tolerant species for eco-friendly bio-augmentative remediation of polluted environments. In this study, ...
