Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of dyes by some green algae and cyanobacteria.
TL;DR: Basic cationic and basic fuchsin were the most susceptible dyes for decolorisation and removal by all algae being tested, and up to ∼82% of methyl red was also removed by N. lincki and O. rubescens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of fat, oil and grease (FOG) for biodiesel production: A critical review on the recent progress and future perspectives
Abd El-Fatah Abomohra,Mahdy Elsayed,Sivakumar Esakkimuthu,Mostafa M. El-Sheekh,Dieter Hanelt +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of various methods of high FFAs-lipidic feedstocks pretreatment including acid esterification, steam stripping, nanocatalytic technology, biological conversion, glycerolysis and simultaneous in situ conversion is presented.
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
Antimicrobial activity of some seaweeds species from Red sea, against multidrug resistant bacteria
TL;DR: The algal extract of S. fusiforme and S. vulgare was characterized by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and the compounds with antimicrobial activity were identified, such as phenols, terpenes, acetogenins, indoles, fatty acids and volatile halogenated hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid and total fatty acid productivity in photoautotrophic fresh water microalgae: screening studies towards biodiesel production
Abd El-Fatah Abomohra,Abd El-Fatah Abomohra,Martin Wagner,Mostafa M. El-Sheekh,Dieter Hanelt +4 more
TL;DR: Results nominate S. obliquus as a promising microalga in order to serve as a feedstock for renewable energy production.
