The compost's humic acid (HA) content decreased when it was fertilized in coastal seawater with steelmaking slag, as confirmed. This study clarified the cause for this change by a detailed analysis of the structural changes in HAs based on the TMAH-py-GC/MS, HPSEC, and 3D-EEM spectra. An increase in the levels of pyrolysates of tannic acid with a l...

Elucidating the relative importance of species interactions and assembly mechanisms in regulating bacterial community structure and functions, especially the abundant and rare subcommunities, is crucial for understanding the influence of environmental disturbance in shaping ecological functions. However, little is known about how polycyclic aromati...

Di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP), a plasticizer used in many different industrial products, is a frequently observed pollutant in the environment. Biodegradation by microorganisms is considered to be a realistic choice for the remediation of DOP contamination. In the present research, the halotolerant bacterial consortium (LF) enriched in our previous re...

The biotransformation of hydrocarbon compounds in seawater at sub-zero temperature has gained research interest in recent years with the most focus placed on temperatures around 0°C. In this study, biotransformation of dispersed diesel at sub-zero temperatures (-2°C to -6°C) in artificial brines, prepared by adding Instant Ocean salt to natural sea...

Plastika, oziroma sintetični polimeri, v današnjem svetu predstavljajo enega izmed najbolj razširjenih materialov, po drugi strani pa enega izmed najhitreje rastočih problemov na Zemlji. Zaradi izredno široke uporabe predstavlja velik delež odpadkov na zemlji. Plastični odpadki so praktično inertni in se kopičijo v vedno večjih količinah. Plastični...

DDT is one of the most persistent pesticides among all the different types of organo-chlorine pesticides used. Among all the degradation methods, bacterial degradation of DDT is most effective. The present study was conducted to isolate different bacteria present in waste samples which have the ability to degrade DDT present in the soil in the mini...

Poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) is an anionic polypeptide that is a highly versatile, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer that fulfils key requirements for use in a wide variety of biomedical applications. The derivatives of PASP can be readily tailored via the amine-reactive precursor, poly(succinimide) (PSI), which opens up a large window of oppo...

In this work, the effect of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on the biodegradation, under composting conditions, of hierarchical PLA biocomposites (HBCs) was studied using a full 22 factorial experimental design. The HBCs were prepared by extrusion processing and were composted for 180 days. At certain time interva...
