An ecosystem is a community of living organism and their interaction and conjugation with abiotic factors of the environment. The ecosystem is not endemic to the aquatic environment only but, the terrestrial environment is also considered to be a part of an ecosystem.

Different kinds of laboratory-scale methods have been used for the reduction of microbial growth, that is, chemical, mechanical, and physical, which are cost-effective and not ecofriendly. In the current study, an ecofriendly approach utilizing silver nanoparticles were synthesized using sheep blood serum.

In this study, shrimp chaff (SC) was co-digested corn straw (CS), wheat straw (WS), and sugarcane bagasse (SB). In co-digestion, SC enhanced biomethane production of CS by 8.

In this study, a novel whole-cell biocatalyst with fungal laccase on the cell surface of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 was developed to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ). Engineered strain EcN-IL showed laccase enzyme activity of 2 ± 1 U/mg dry weight of cell and degraded 37 ± 1% of SDZ at temperature 40 °C and pH 5 within 3 h in vitro.
