The biodegradation of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunches by white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus ostreatus was investigated. The results showed higher mass loss and ...

The use of the least-squares techniques for parameter estimation is critically evaluated by analyzing linear and non-linear models for situations in which the absolute or relative errors had a constant variance. Special ...

Microbial pollutant removal capabilities can be determined and exploited to accomplish bioremediation of hydrocarbon-polluted environments. Thus, increasing knowledge on environmental behavior of different petroleum products ...

This research compared the effects of biosurfactant on the biodegradation of biodiesel and vegetable oils while validating two conceptually diverging methodologies. The two experimental setups were successfully modeled ...

Kinetic experiments were performed with batch reactors containing a pure culture of Psedomonas putida PpG4 and 4-chlorophenol as the only organic substrate present. 4-Chlorophenol behaved as a cometabolite because its ...
