Microbes or microorganisms form a significant component of the biological systems on the earth. They are ubiquitous, present everywhere – in the soil, around us, in water, the air we breathe, and both in and on our body. Also, microbes are present on other animals and plants. They are so tiny, microscopic in nature, varying in shape and size. They can only be seen through the microscope. The different types of microbes are:
Algae
Bacteria
Fungi
Protozoa
Virus
Apart from the harmful and Infectious disease-causing pathogens, there are several useful microorganisms which are beneficial to humans in various ways.
In Household Products
Fermentation of milk to prepare yogurt.
Curdling of milk to prepare curd, cheese, and paneer.
Fermentation of dough, which is used for making bread, idli, and dosa.
In Industrial Products
Production alcohol beverages.
Production antibiotics like Penicillin and other chemical substances to kill or hamper the growth of disease-causing microbes.
Few Chemicals, Enzymes and other Bioactive Molecules are also produced by these microbes for various human uses.
Sewage is treated in sewage treatment plans(STPs) before disposing of so as to make it less polluting which is naturally carried out by heterotrophic microbes present in the sewage. The treatment is carried out in two stages – Primary treatment, Secondary treatment or biological treatment.
Microorganisms help in the production of many food items, making medicines, keeping the environment clean, in manufacturing and in research. The major groups of microorganism: namely bacteria, archaea, fungi (yeasts and molds), algae, protozoa, and viruses. Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its molecular form in the atmosphere and converted into nitrogen compounds useful for other biochemical processes.
Biodegradation or biological degradation is the phenomenon of biological transformation of organic compounds by living organisms, particularly the microorganisms.
Biodegradation basically involves the conversion of complex organic molecules to simpler (and mostly non-toxic) ones. The term biotransformation is used for incomplete biodegradation of organic compounds involving one or a few reactions. Biotransformation is employed for the synthesis of commercially important products by microorganisms.
Bioremediation refers to the process of using microorganisms to remove the environmental pollutants i.e. the toxic wastes found in soil, water, air etc. The microbes serve as scavengers in bioremediation. The removal of organic wastes by microbes for environmental clean-up is the essence of bioremediation. The other names used (by some authors) for bioremediation are bio-treatment, bio-reclamation and bio-restoration.
It is rather difficult to show any distinction between biodegradation and bioremediation. Further, in biotechnology, most of the reactions of biodegradation/bioremediation involve xenobiotic.
Bio oxidation- a technology for sustainable pollution controlPriyam Jyoti Borah
Bio-oxidation is a. biological air pollution. control technology. that utilizes bacteria & fungi to biologically absorb and digest vapor-phase VOCs and odorous compounds commonly found in industrial and municipal applications.
Bioremediation
Bioremediation refers to the use of either naturally occurring or
deliberately introduced microorganisms to consume and break down
environmental pollutants, in order to clean a polluted site.
The process of bioremediation enhances the rate of the natural
microbial degradation of contaminants by supplementing the
indigenous microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) with nutrients, carbon
sources, or electron donors (biostimulation, biorestoration) or by
adding an enriched culture of microorganisms that have specific
characteristics that allow them to degrade the desired contaminant at
a quicker rate (bioaugmentation).
It is a cleaning process that degrades dangerous contaminants using
naturally existing microbes. These bacteria may consume and
degrade organic chemicals as a source of food and energy, degrade
organic substances that are dangerous to living creatures, including
humans, and degrade the organic pollutants into inert products.
Because the bacteria already exist in nature, they offer no pollution
concern
Bioremediation is the use of
microorganisms or microbial processes
to detoxify and degrade environmental
contaminants.
Microorganisms have been used for the
routine treatment and transformation
of waste products for several decades
Bioremediation strategies rely on
having the correct microorganisms in
the right location at the right time in the
right environment for degradation to
occur. The appropriate microorganisms
are bacteria and fungi that have the
physiological and metabolic
competence to breakdown pollutants
Objective of Bioremediation
The objective of bioremediation is to decrease pollutant levels to
undetectable, nontoxic, or acceptable levels, i.e., within regulatory
limits, or, ideally, to totally mineralize organopollutants to carbon
dioxide
BIOREMEDIATION AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTION
Bioremediation is defined as ‘the process of using microorganisms to remove
the environmental pollutants where microbes serve as scavengers’.
• The removal of organic wastes by microbes leads to environmental clean-up.
The other names/terms used for bioremediation are biotreatment,
bioreclamation, and biorestoration.
• The term “Xenobiotics” (xenos means foreign) refers to the unnatural, foreign
and synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, refrigerants, solvents
and other organic compounds.
• The microbial degradation of xenobiotics also helps in reducing the
environmental pollution. Pseudomonas which is a soil microorganism
effectively degrades xenobiotics.
• Different strains of Pseudomonas that are capable of detoxifying more than
100 organic compounds (e.g. phenols, biphenyls, organophosphates,
naphthalene, etc.) have been identified.
• Some other microbial strains are also known to have the capacity to degrade
xenobiotics such as Mycobacterium, Alcaligenes, Norcardia, etc.
Factors affecting biodegradation
The factors that affect the
biodegradation are:
• the chemical nature of
xenobiotics,
• the conc

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

2. Etymologically, the term
appears to be a composite of
the Latin preposition pro
("for") and the Greek
adjective βιωτικός (biotic),
the latter deriving from the
noun βίος (bios, "life").
3. The first use of the term
“probiotic” as microorganisms
that have effects on other
microorganism was
accredited to Lilly and Stilwell
(1965),[2]
expressed as follows:
Substances secreted by one
microorganism that stimulate
another microorganism.
4. “Organisms and substances
that have a beneficial effect
on the host animal by
contributing to its intestinal
microbial balance”.
Fuller (1989) probiotics as
"live microbial feed
supplement which
beneficially affects the host
animal by improving its
intestinal microbial balance".
5. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and
bifidobacteria are the most
common types of microbes used
as probiotics, but certain yeasts
and bacilli may also be used.
Probiotics are commonly
consumed as part of fermented
foods with specially added active
live cultures, such as in yogurt,
soy yogurt, or as
dietary supplements.
7. Marine Biofertilizer
Fertilizer purposes
Direct Nutrient supplies
(C, H, H,O, S, N, P, K or Phosphate, Nitrate, ion NO3-
and NH4+ etc
Indirect Nutrient supplies
(C, H, H,O, S, N, P, K or Phosphate, Nitrate, ion NO3-
and NH4+ etc
Ideal condition of water
pH, CO2 balance, DO
8. Nitrification
Nitrification is the process by which ammonia is
converted to nitrites (NO2-) and then nitrates
(NO3-). This process naturally occurs in the
environment, where it is carried out by specialized
bacteria. Namely, nitrifying bacteria
Ammonia
Produced by the breakdown of organic sources of
nitrogen, a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids.
Toxic to aquatic life at these concentrations, and the
the nitrification process requires oxygen (ammonia
contributes to the BOD of the wastewater).
9. The nitrification process is carried out by two different
types of bacteria. Nitrosomonas carry out the first step of
the process, producing nitrite:
The resulting nitrite is then converted to nitrate by
Nitrobacters:
10.
11. Nitrifying Bacteria
Are chemoautotrophic or chemolithotrophs
depending on the genera (Nitrosomonas,
Nitrosococcus, Nitrobacter, Nitrococcus) bacteria that
grow by consuming inorganic nitrogen compounds.[1]
12. Nitrifying Bacteria
Have key enzymes in nitrification:
ammonia monooxygenase which oxidizes ammonia to
hydroxylamine, and nitrite oxidoreductase, which
oxidizes nitrite to nitrate.
13. Super NB
Content :
Bacillus sp.
Pseudomonas sp.
Nitrobacter sp.
Aerobacter sp.
Concentration: +_10 9 CFU / ml
Benefit - Utilize NH3 & NO2 in water and soil
- Maintaining optimum scale of water pH and
alkalinity
- Reducing stress and disease susceptibility
- Increase beneficial microorganism communities
14. Super NB
Application Method
During Preparation (1 ha pond) put 1.0 liter Super NB &
mix well with "SUPER MEDIA“ which can help
plankton growth and also increase
the dominance of beneficial microorganism on pond.
Apply it everyday until water color established.
- Early stage, 0.5 ppm / week
- Middle stage, 0.5 - 1 ppm / week
- Last stage , 1-1.5 ppm / week At present, we realized
that shrimp culture needs good maintenance of water
quality management and water parameter control.
The routine activity during culturing period such as:
feeding program chemicals treatment:
bioaugmentation treatment and water exchanged etc,
could directly influence stability of water quality.
15. Super NB
The balance between phytoplankton; zooplankton and
beneficial microorganism during culture period play a
crucial role to create well growth of shrimps,
decreasing susceptibility of disease to shrimps and also
reducing pathogens. As a result, it will enhance
probiotic system in pond.
Super NB and Super PS as biotechnological product
contains beneficial communities of bacteria. These
bacteria operate in a synergistic relationship to
biodegrade soluble organic pollutants; maintaining
optimum scale of pH; alkalinity and reducing stress to
the shrimp.
It is much easier to prevent diseases than trying to cure
them. Super NB and Super PS can also help improving
water quality and achieve optimum ecological
condition in shrimp pond.
17. Rhodobacter
Rhodobacter have a wide range of metabolic
capabilties. The most studied, R. sphaeroides,
possesses metabolic methods which include
photosynthesis, lithotrophy, and aerobic and
anaerobic respiration.
It can also fix nitrogen and synthesize tetrapyrroles,
chlorophylls, and vitamin B12.
18. Rhodobacter
Species of Rhodobacter have a wide range of metabolic capabilties. The most
studied, sphaeroides, possesses metabolic methods which include
photosynthesis, lithotrophy, and aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It can also
fix nitrogen and synthesize tetrapyrroles, chlorophylls, heme, and vitamin B12.
This species is also the first free-living bacteria to be known to utilize the
regulatory methods associated with quorum-sensing. Bacteria with quorum-
sensing systems possess certain signaling compounds which allow the
organism to communicate and coordinate with similar bacteria. Rhodobacters
possess one flagellum located on the side of the cell body. This flagella rotates
rapidly clockwise, causing propulsion of the cell, and reorients when it stops
and coils up. To see Rhodobacter sphaeroides in motion, visit the
Rowland Institute at Harvard site.
Ecology
Rhodobacter's various methods of respiration and metabolism allow it to
survive in a number of varied habitats; differing from other nonsulfur purple
bacteria in that they can grow in both the light and the dark. These organisms
appear to be numerous in all types of aquatic environments.
19. Rhodococcus is also an experimentally advantageous
system owing to a relatively fast growth rate and
simple developmental cycle.
Another important application of Rhodococcus comes
from bioconversion, using biological systems to
convert cheap starting material into more valuable
compounds.
20. Rhodococcus is a genus of aerobic, nonsporulating,
nonmotile Gram-positive bacteria A few species are
pathogenic, most are benign and have been found to
thrive in a broad range of environments, including
soil, water, and eukaryotic cells.
Strains of Rhodococcus are applicably important
owing to their ability to catabolize a wide range of
compounds and produce bioactive steroids,
acrylamide, and acrylic acid, and their involvement in
fossil fuel biodesulfurization.[
21. Super PS
Application Method During Preparation (1 ha pond)
Before creating the "water color", spread 30-50 liter of
Super PS into shrimp pond for utilizing the residue of
organic matter in pond bottom and for establishing
good bacteria groups on pond bottom
