Anaerobic denitrification and biotechnological potentials of filamentous fungi isolated from coastal marine sediment
The anaerobic denitrification, antibacterial and enzyme-producing potentials of filamentous fungi isolated from sediment collected from the coastal region of the Niger Delta in Bonny Island, Nigeria were investigated. The fungi were aerobically isolated using spread plate method on sterile acidified potato dextrose agar. The capability of isolates to survive under anoxic environment was assessed by […]
Corn starch industry wastewater pollution and treatment processes- A review
Corn starch industry contributes almost 12% of starch production. Maize starch, produced worldwide, contributes huge amount of acidic effluent (pH 3-5) containing high Chemical oxygen demand (COD) (10000-30000 mg/L), biological oxygen demand (BOD) (4000-8000 mg/L), nitrogenous pollutant (400-900 mg/L) and other pollutants. Conventional methods of anaerobic digestion and nitrification-denitrification process are widely being used to […]
