A novel polymeric bioflocculant was produced by a bacterium utilizing degradation of n-hexadecane as the energy source. The with bioflocculating activity 87.8 %. hydrocarbon confirmed GC/MS analysis and further supported contact angle measurements for changes in hydrophobic nature culture medium. specific aerobic pathway followed during production utilization process has been proposed. FT-IR, SEM-EDX, LC/MS 1H NMR indicated presence carbohydrates proteins major components bioflocculant....
Changes in catechins, caffeine, total polyphenol, theaflavins, and antioxidant activity during CTC processing of black tea from North East India cultivar were studied. Total polyphenol decreased up to 37% with the formation theaflavins 1.8%.
Heavy-metal pollution is a persevering environmental menace, which demands the necessity of its removal by green and ecofriendly adsorbents. To combat this problem, discarded plant biomass can be used as an efficient substitute. Herein, comparative study has been highlighted for Pb2+ ions using Euryale ferox Salisbury seed coat activated carbon, prepared first-time-reported activating agent that novel non-hazardous bioresource. The batch investigation revealed 99.9% efficiency Pb(II) carbon...
Forests, covering 31% of Earth's land, are crucial for ecological balance, biodiversity support, and essential ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration water regulation. However, climate change poses significant threats to these functions. This review examines its impacts on forest ecosystems, including changes in temperature precipitation patterns, shifts species distribution, increased pest disease outbreaks, heightened fire risks, alterations capacity. The also explores adaptive...

A bacterium isolated from the activated sludge of an oil refinery Assam, India retained efficient bioflocculating activity through production bioflocculant when it was grown on a crude amended medium void any other carbon source.
An innovative approach to remediate oilfield produced water, a major environmental pollutant from the oil and gas industry has been demonstrated in this study. The technique combines: invasive wetland plant (Pistia stratiotes) used absorbing metabolizing hydrocarbons present formation biosurfactant indigenous Bacteria making them more accessible for degradation fertilizer NPK act as biostimulator. main objectives of are Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) an environmentally friendly manner be...
Petroleum sludge is accidentally released in oil fields and refineries, which can harm the environment because it contains emerging contaminants such as PAHs, BTEX components, heavy metals, asphaltenes. This study developed a method to eliminate petroleum sludge-related using novel bacterium, AR-IASST (01), produce biosurfactants (surface tension reduced 26.4 mN/m). The potential bacterium was Gram-negative, molecular characterization revealed that belongs Enterobacter cloacae with positive...
This study reported the content of selected metals, viz. cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) as well non-carcinogenic risks orthodox green tea CTC (crush, tear curl) (Camellia sinensis L.) in India. Results revealed that significantly higher amount Cr (1.26-10.48 mg kg-1), Cu (13.40-22.73 Fe (54.14-99.65 Ni (3.43-7.09 Zn (25.04-38.04 kg-1) than one. However, no definite trend was observed for Cd Pb, with overall contents ranged from 6.68...
