Molecular characterization of chromium tolerant and gelatin hydrolyzing bacterial isolates from tannery wastes: Perspective on chrome-tanned leather waste biodegradation in Bangladesh.

Improper management of chrome-tanned leather waste (CTLW) might potentially cause adverse environmental consequences. To mitigate that harmful impact, this study aims to find and conduct molecular characterization of bacteria from tannery wastes that can tolerate chromium (Cr) and hydrolyze gelatin. Bacteria from tannery wastes are naturally adapted to Cr; eight Cr(III) tolerant bacteria, namely bacterial isolate (BI) 1 to 8, were isolated from the collected waste samples.

Screening and genomic evaluation of keratinolytic protease producing Chryseobacterium sp. from tannery waste and its potential application in dehairing of goat skin.

Lime and NaS, used in dehairing in the tannery industry, cause the generation of toxic wastes. Ecological security and financial issues demand a look for innovative approaches to leather dehairing free from pollution. The primary goal of this investigation was to explore keratinolytic protease producing bacteria from tannery waste, their genomic evaluation and to assess their possible use in the dehairing process.

Exploring newly isolated thermotolerant, halotolerant and antimicrobial resistant Bacillus subtilis ProNTL1 from tannery waste and its alkaline protease production.

Background: A hydrolytic enzyme called protease from microbial sources has expansive applications in leather as well as tannery industries and thus leaves no choice but to discover a potential candidate for efficient yield of protease with eccentric characteristics.

Methods And Results: In the current study, using skim milk agar medium, three bacterial strains (Pro SS14, Pro NTL1, Pro SM) were identified for protease production out of thirty tannery waste samples. The bacterial isolates were identified through morphological, biochemical and molecular basis and the highest protease producer (134 U/mL) having the paramount protein content (8.

Comparative evaluation of physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of rubber seed oil from different regions of Bangladesh.

In Bangladesh, the annual production of rubber seeds is typically left untapped although the seeds contained a high percentage of oil but underutilized without any value-added utilization. This study aims to evaluate the geographical effect on physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition and the antimicrobial activity of oil extracted from rubber seeds. Seeds were collected from three different regions of Bangladesh and the oil was extracted by the soxhlet method using -hexane as a solvent.

Chromium and arsenic bioaccumulation and biomass potential of pink morning glory (Ipomoea carnea Jacq.).

Soil contamination with heavy metals and metalloids is a global concern nowadays. Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable way of mitigating such contamination by utilizing the plants' ability to accumulate, sequester, and stabilize elements. Biomass-producing plants may outperform hyperaccumulators in terms of total elemental removal and offer more cost-effectiveness through their usable biomass.
