Bioremediation is traditionally carried out using 'free'bacterial cells; however, in recent years,
utilization of 'immobilized'bacterial cells has gained attention as a promising technique due …

Biomass pyrolysis is considered one of the most promising technologies for production of
sustainable fuels. Rice husk ash (RHA) contains over 60% silica, 10–40% carbon and minor …

This work describes the synthesis of chitosan hydrogel/SiO2 and chitin hydrogel/SiO2 hybrid
mesoporous materials obtained by the sol–gel method for their use as biosorbents. Their …

Many plant systems accumulate silica in solid form, creating intracellular or extracellular
silica bodies (phytoliths) that are essential for growth, mechanical strength, rigidity, predator …

Antibiotics are leading medicine asset for fighting against microbial infection, but also one of
the important causes of death worldwide. Many antibiotics used as therapeutics and growth …

Biomineralization is an evolutionarily ancient phenomenon and one of the fundamental
biological processes by which living organisms produce minerals with multifunctional …

Synthetic and natural biomaterials are a promising alternative for the treatment of critical‐
sized bone defects. Several parameters such as their porosity, surface, and mechanical …

Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have received increasing attention because of
their low energy requirements; however, membrane fouling is the major deterrent to their …

We have developed a portable biosensing device based on genetically engineered
bioluminescent (BL) cells. Cells were immobilized on a 4× 3 multiwell cartridge using a new …

The sol-gel process provides a robust and versatile technology for the immobilization of
biologicals. A wide range of inorganic, composites and hybrid materials can be prepared to …
