Discharge of nanoparticles (NPs) into aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems during manufacturing processes and from various commercial goods has become a significant ecotoxicological concern. After reaching soil systems, NPs cause deleterious effects on soil fertility, microbial activity, and crop productivity. Taking into consideration the medicinal importance of (L.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of xylanase-pectinase enzymes in bleaching of wheat straw pulp, just to cut down the toxic wastes, in order to manage the environmental pollution. The appropriate parameters of bleaching were evaluated, and best conditions were xylanase and pectinase dose of 5.0 and 1.

The present work reports the biobleaching effect on OPEFB pulp upon utilisation of extracellular xylano-pectinolytic enzymes simultaneously yielded from ADI2. The impacts of different doses, retention times, pH, and temperatures required for the pulp biobleaching process were delineated accordingly. Here, the OPEFB pulp was subjected to pre-treatment with xylano-pectinolytic enzymes generated from the same alkalo-thermotolerant isolate that yielded those of higher quality.

Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon under extreme conditions such as high salinity, temperature and pH was difficult due to unavailability of potential bacterial strains. The present study details the efficiency of extremophilic bacterial consortium in biodegradation of different petroleum hydrocarbons and treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater under extreme condition. Extreme condition for the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons was optimized at 8% salinity, pH-10 and temperature-60 °C.

Xylanase and polygalacturonase were concurrently produced by a novel alkalo-thermotolerant Bacillus pumilus AJK. They were purified and characterized to evaluate their potential for various industrial applications. Xylanase was purified to 19-fold with 67 % recovery and polygalacturonase up to 23-fold with 75 % recovery.
