Amino-functionalized Magnetic Iron Nanoparticles As a Carrier for Laccase Enzyme and Its Potential to Degrade Chlorpyrifos in Contaminated Soil: Fate and Kinetics
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-04-14)The present study utilizes the covalent-crosslinking method to immobilize the�laccase enzyme on magnetic iron nanoparticles�and further assess its potential in degrading�chlorpyrifos in pesticide spiked�soil. The soil ... -
A comparative analysis of composts and vermicomposts derived from municipal solid waste for the growth and yield of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(Springer Verlag, 2017)This work was conducted to evaluate and compare the responses of Phaseolus vulgaris to three types of composts and vermicomposts derived from municipal solid waste (MSW). Different amendment rates were used and evaluated ... -
Degradation of chlorpyrifos in soil using laccase immobilized iron oxide nanoparticles and their competent role in deterring the mobility of chlorpyrifos
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Covalent-immobilization of the laccase enzyme onto the iron oxide nanoparticles was achieved using N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N?-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) as cross-linkers. The presence of sulphur moeity in the ... -
Management of food and vegetable processing waste spiked with buffalo waste using earthworms (Eisenia fetida)
(Springer Verlag, 2017)The present investigation was focused on the vermicomposting of food and vegetable processing waste (VW) mixed with buffalo dung (BW) under laboratory condition employing Eisenia fetida earthworm species. Four different ... -
Prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections in HIV patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Nature Research, 2023-07-08)Soil-transmitted Helminth (STH) infections have been found associated with people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but little is known about the overall burden of STH coinfection in HIV patients. We aimed to ... -
