Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of conventional plastic wastes in the environment: A review on current status of knowledge and future perspectives of disposal
Sameh S. Ali,Tamer Elsamahy,Eleni Koutra,Michael Kornaros,Mostafa M. El-Sheekh,Esraa A. Abdelkarim,Daochen Zhu,Jianzhong Sun +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the negative effects of the accumulation of the most conventional plastic waste (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene terephthalate and polyurethane) on the environment and the ability of different microbial species for degradation of these polymers is thoroughly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-Based Products from Microalgae Cultivated in Digestates.
TL;DR: Using effluents from biogas production units, called digestates, in cultivation systems can help to optimize bioprocesses, and several bioproducts including biofuels, biofertilizers, proteins and valuable chemicals can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic wastes biodegradation: Mechanisms, challenges and future prospects.
Sameh S. Ali,Tamer Elsamahy,Rania Al-Tohamy,Daochen Zhu,Yehia A.-G. Mahmoud,Eleni Koutra,Metwally A. Metwally,Michael Kornaros,Jianzhong Sun +8 more
TL;DR: This review aims to comprehensively highlight the role of microbes, with special emphasis on algae, on the entire plastic biodegradation process focusing on the depolarization of various synthetic plastic types and the ability of insects' gut microbial consortium to degrade synthetic plastic wastes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential cultivation of microalgae in raw and recycled dairy wastewater: Microalgal growth, wastewater treatment and biochemical composition
Ehsan Daneshvar,Mohammad Javad Zarrinmehr,Mohammad Javad Zarrinmehr,Eleni Koutra,Michael Kornaros,Omidvar Farhadian,Amit Bhatnagar +6 more
TL;DR: By reusing DWW in two consecutive cycles of microalgal cultivation, higher pollutants removal efficiency andmicroalgal biomass production can be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation on the feasibility of Chlorella vulgaris cultivation in a mixture of pulp and aquaculture effluents: Treatment of wastewater and lipid extraction.
TL;DR: Investigation of Chlorella vulgaris cultivation in pulp wastewater diluted with lake water and aquaculture wastewater revealed that C. vulgaris is a potential candidate for PAWW treatment and lipid and carbohydrate accumulation.
