Photocatalytic degradation of four emerging antibiotic contaminants and toxicity assessment in wastewater: A comprehensive study.

Excessive usage and unrestricted discharge of antibiotics in the environment lead to their accumulation in the ecosystem due to their highly stable and non-biodegradation nature. Photodegradation of four most consumed antibiotics such as amoxicillin, azithromycin, cefixime, and ciprofloxacin were studied using CuO-TiO nanotubes. Cytotoxicity evaluation of the native and transformed products was conducted on the RAW 264.

Combining in silico and in vitro approaches to understand the involvement of methylerythritol 4-phosphate and shikimate pathways in Agrobacterium tumefaciens for enhanced coenzyme Q10 production.

Aims: To perform an integrated comparative analysis of metabolic pathway to understand coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) production in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Methods And Results: Comparative analysis of the CoQ10 metabolic pathway in 10 organisms using a genome to KEGG orthology program (G2KO) and the KEGG database elucidated the completeness of the production pathway in A. tumefaciens.

Valorization of wastewater to recover value-added products: A comprehensive insight and perspective on different technologies.

In recent years, due to rapid globalization and urbanization, the demand for fuels, energy, water and nutrients has been continuously increasing. To meet the future need of the society, wastewater is a prominent and emerging source for resource recovery. It provides an opportunity to recover valuable resources in the form of energy, fertilizers, electricity, nutrients and other products.
