Introduction: Used clear aligner trays are often indiscriminately disposed of with general plastic waste and incinerated. This study aimed to analyze the smoke composition from incinerating 2 common aligner materials: glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET-G) and polyurethane.

Methods: Each of the 2 materials in triplets was thermoformed.

In the present study, both acidic and alkaline hydrolysate of pineapple waste was utilised for the production of biohydrogen using locally isolated bacterial strains. The bacteria were isolated from different wastewater sources and were identified as and . Experimental results showed that the highest biohydrogen yield of 836.

Functional contribution of endophytic bacteria towards plant growth is highly impressive due to their species diversity and array of probiotic mechanisms. In the study, 96 endophytic bacteria isolated from rhizome of ginger (Zingiber officinale) were screened for phosphate solubilisation, 1-amino cyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity, nitrogen fixation, ammonia and IAA production. Among these, sixteen endophytes with multiple plant growth-promoting activities were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and all of them showed growth enhancement in Vigna unguiculata var Lola which make the study remarkably significant.
