TL;DR: Amending activated sludge with additional microorganisms able to produce versatile enzymes to enhance biodegradability or “bioaugmentation”, is gradually considered as a possible solution for the recalcitrance of Bio-Refractory Organic Compounds (Bio-ROCs).

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of biosorption of methylene blue (MB) by Aspergillus fumigatus and optimize the conditions for better absorption was studied and an initial concentration of 12 mg/L of MB (biosorbent/solution ratio=2g/L) buffered to alkaline pH, and a contact time of 120 min.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the possibility of improving the biosorption of textile dye basic model, methylene blue (MB) by dead fungal biomass, Aspergillus fumigatus.

TL;DR: This study presents a screening procedure that considers the most significant criteria in microalgal biodiesel production including TAG production and wet extraction and recovery of TAGs, and identified Parachlorella kessleri UTEX2229 and Nannochloropsis gaditana CCMP527 as the best freshwater and seawater strains.

TL;DR: In this article, a porous copper modified electrode was used in a flow electrochemical process to achieve a selective and quantitative transformation of concentrated nitrate into ammonium, which can be subsequently used either as a potential nitrogen source during microbial culture or simply as a fertilizer.
