Application of backpropagation artificial neural network prediction model for the PAH bioremediation of polluted soil.

Chemosphere
The backpropagation (BP) artificial neural network (ANN) is a renowned and extensively functional mathematical tool used for time-series predictions and approximations; which also define results for non-linear functions. ANNs are vital tools in the p...

Modelling the removal of volatile pollutants under transient conditions in a two-stage bioreactor using artificial neural networks.

Journal of hazardous materials
A two-stage biological waste gas treatment system consisting of a first stage biotrickling filter (BTF) and second stage biofilter (BF) was tested for the removal of a gas-phase methanol (M), hydrogen sulphide (HS) and α-pinene (P) mixture. The biore...

Sequential interfacial contributions of microplastics to microbial adhesion and metal adsorption.

The Science of the total environment
Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as interfacial substrates for microbial adhesion and metal adsorption in aquatic environments. However, the temporal sequence and causality of MPs-microbial-metal interactions remain poorly understood. ...

Machine learning-driven optimization of arsenic phytoextraction using amendments.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Exogenous amendments are crucial for enhancing the remediation efficiency of arsenic-contaminated soils by Pteris vittata. However, their effectiveness is unstable due to various factors, and neglecting their economic costs hinder broader application...

Synergistic potential of halophytes and halophilic/halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria in saline soil remediation: Adaptive mechanisms, challenges, and sustainable solutions.

Microbiological research
Salinity stress poses significant challenges to agriculture, reducing productivity and limiting arable land by causing ionic and osmotic imbalances in plants, disrupting physiological processes, and leading to soil degradation over time. Halophytes a...

A critical review on occurrence, speciation, mobilization, and toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the soil-microbe-plant system and bioremediation strategies.

Journal of hazardous materials
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of recalcitrant anthropogenic compounds that are extensively utilized for numerous industrial applications globally. Despite such vast utilization, PFAS accumulation in the soils and sediments wi...

Advances in sulfate-reducing bacteria-driven bioelectrolysis: mechanisms and applications in microbial electrolysis cell technology.

Environmental research
The discharge of sulfate-rich wastewater from chemical and pharmaceutical and food processing industries results in serious environmental problems that impact both the natural environment and human health. The conventional sulfate removal process usi...

Artificial neural network-based fungal chitin production for submicron-chitosan synthesis: effects on bioremediation for heavy metal pollution.

International journal of biological macromolecules
This study focused on optimizing fungal chitin (CT) production from a newly identified Fusarium incarnatum (GenBank: OL314753) for subsequent synthesis of submicron chitosan (sm-CS) tailored for enhanced heavy metal removal. Initial attempts to optim...

Microbial degradation potential of microplastics in urban river sediments: Assessing and predicting the enrichment of PE/PP-degrading bacteria using SourceTracker and machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Microplastic mitigation strategies that adapt to various actual aquatic environments require the ability to predict their microbial degradation potential. However, the sources and enrichment characteristics of the degrading bacteria in the plastisphe...

XenoBug: machine learning-based tool to predict pollutant-degrading enzymes from environmental metagenomes.

NAR genomics and bioinformatics
Application of machine learning-based methods to identify novel bacterial enzymes capable of degrading a wide range of xenobiotics offers enormous potential for bioremediation of toxic and carcinogenic recalcitrant xenobiotics such as pesticides, pla...
