Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMicrobial Degradation of Paracetamol in Pharmaceutical Wastewater: A ReviewYahya Seun Yisau, Naeif Hamoud Al-Makishah, Mohamed Abou El-Fetouh BarakatParacetamol (4′-hydroxyacetanilide or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol or Acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic over-the-counter commonly used drug. Paracetamol has been detected in, surface waters, wastewater, and drinking water globally because of its significant utilization and unregulated release into the surroundings which have been a great concern and require an urgent approach. Microbial degradation of paracetamol is considered a desirable choice because of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 3 Aug 2024 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnaerobic Fermentation for Ceftriaxone Sodium Degradation in Excess Sludge: pH-Dependent Performance, Metabolite Formation, and Microbial Community DynamicsWeiwei Li, Hong Niu, Yonghui Zhang et al.The accumulation of ceftriaxone sodium (CTX), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, in wastewater and sludge poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating effective degradation strategies. This study investigated anaerobic fermentation of excess sludge (12,000-14,000 mg/L) spiked with 15 mg/L CTX under varying pH conditions (4, 7, 10, 12) to evaluate sludge reduction, metabolite formation, and microbial community dynamics. Results demonstrated that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSELECTIVE ISOLATION OF A GRAM NEGATIVE CARBAMATE PESTICIDE DEGRADING BACTERIUM FROM BRINJAL CULTIVATED SOILDilara Islam Sharif, Mithun MollickA bacterial species having the ability to grow in the presence of carbosulfan pesticide “Marshall” was isolated from Solanum melongena (brinjal) cultivated soil in Khulna region, Bangladeh, having a history of pesticide usage. The strain was morphologically and biochemically identified to belong to the genera Pseudomonas. A comparative study of growth of this strain with other isolated bacteria showed its … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanowire Mediated Effect of Interspecies Electron Transfer in Organic Solid Waste Co-FermentationJingkang Chen, Daicheng Liu et al.Low efficiency of Interspecific Electron Transfer (IET) among microorganisms constrains organic matter degradation and biogas production in organic solid waste co‑fermentation. This work investigates the underlying bottleneck and evaluates the nanowire‑mediated enhancement of IET. Surface plasmon resonance‑enhanced electrochemical impedance spectroscopy coupled with metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing was applied to regulate endogenous nanowire formation in anaerobic reactors. Surface Plasmon Resonance-Enhanced Electrochemical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2026 · 591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Agritechnologies on the Biomass and Nutritional Parameters of Crops: A Study of Corn, Soybean, and Pea in Southeast KazakhstanGulvira Yessenbayeva, Aruzhan Ilyas, Serik Kenenbayev et al.The study investigates the impact of various agritechnologies on the biomass and nutritional parameters of corn, soybean, and winter pea cultivated in Southeast Kazakhstan. This research is particularly relevant given the significant challenges facing agriculture in Kazakhstan, including soil degradation, reduced arable land, and the need for sustainable farming practices. Organic and traditional farming methods were evaluated for their effectiveness … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of a Pressure Cooker for Homemade High-Temperature Sterilization of RendangDaimon Syukri, Rini, Risa Meutia Fiana et al.This study aimed to analyze the impact of pressure cooker (presto) sterilization on the nutritional value and microbial content of rendang, a traditional Indonesian meat dish. The evaluated parameters included moisture content, ash content, fat content, protein content, and total plate count (TPC), measured before and after a 40-minute sterilization process. The results showed a moderate increase in moisture (from … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2025 · 3,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Industrially Promising Keratinase Isolated from Aspergillus aureolatus Changes its Substrate Specificity after pH-Mediated AutolysisArina Mokhova, Anna ShestakovaMicrobial proteolytic enzymes are green catalysts with many potential applications. Keratinolytic enzymes (or keratinases) are crucial for efficient keratin degradation, making them essential in waste management, biomedicine, cosmetics, and various industrial applications. This study describes the production and characterization of a protease with keratinolytic activity from Aspergillus aureolatus. The protease was isolated from the culture fluid on the 5th day … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2025 · 5,580 accessesView PDFCite
