Screening and identification of microbes from polluted environment for azodye (Turquoise blue) decolorization.

Turquoise blue dye is frequently used for industrial dyeing applications. But the release of untreated colored wastewater became an environmental and public health hazard. Microbial remediation of Azodye is environmentally safe and an alternative to a physicochemical approach.

Screening, characterization and optimization of potential dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) degrading fungi.

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is an organo-chlorine insecticide used for malaria and agricultural pest control, but it is the most persistent pollutant, endangering both human and environmental health. The primary aim of the research is to screen, characterize, and assess putative fungi that degrade DDT for mycoremediation. Samples of soil and wastewater were gathered from Addis Ababa, Koka, and Ziway.

The role and mechanisms of microbes in dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its residues bioremediation.

Environmental contamination with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) has sever effects on the ecosystem worldwide. DDT is a recalcitrant synthetic chemical with high toxicity and lipophilicity. It is also bioaccumulated in the food chain and causes genotoxic, estrogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects on aquatic organisms and humans.

Isolation of Hexavalent chromium tolerant fungal species from urban vegetable farm soil and effluent waste in Addis Ababa& Rift valley, Ethiopia.

Hexavalent chromium is resistant to degradation and harmful toxic substance to environment and community health. Physicochemical treatment methods are demanding high cost, used large quantities of chemicals & energy, release large amount of secondary toxic degradants. Mycoremediation is an eco-friendly alternative treatment method.
