Author: Masika, Wendy S ; Moonsamy, Ghaneshree ; Mandree, Prisha ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Kudanga, T Date: Dec 2020 Petroleum hydrocarbons are toxic to all forms of life; therefore, environmental pollution caused by petroleum is of great concern. Bio-based environmentally friendly strategies are preferred for the remediation of these contaminated sites. ... Read more
Bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from industry contaminated soil using indigenous bacillus spp.

Author: Mandree, Prisha ; Masika, Wendy S ; Naicker, Justin ; Moonsamy, Ghaneshree ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Lalloo, Rajesh Date: Sep 2021 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are reportedly toxic, ubiquitous and organic compounds that can persist in the environment and are released largely due to the incomplete combustion of fossil fuel. There is a range of microorganisms ... Read more
Development of Bacillus spp. consortium for one-step “Aerobic Nitrification-Denitrification” in a fluidized-bed reactor

Author: Roets-Dlamini, Yrielle ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Moonsamy, Ghaneshree ; Kumari, S ; Nasr, M ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Bux, F Date: Feb 2022 Application of two-step “Autotrophic Nitrification and Anoxic Denitrification” for nutrients removal has found several limitations. This study aimed at isolating indigenous heterotrophic Bacillus strains for chemical oxygen demand (COD), ... Read more
Improving strength and hydraulic characteristics of regional clayey soils using biopolymers

Author: Ojuria, OO ; Ramdas, Veshara ; Aderibigbe, EA ; Williams, GC ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Al-Nageim, H Date: Dec 2022 This paper portrays a unique demonstration of sustainable low-cost ground improvement for regional soil deposits, by comparing locally sourced biopolymer soil stabilisation soil with imported biopolymer stabilisation. The conventional materials ... Read more
Microbial Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICCP) for road construction

Author: Smit, Michelle A ; Akhalwaya, Imraan ; Rust, FC ; Ramdas, Veshara Date: Jul 2022 The growing concern over climate change has led the drive for the development of alternative building materials in several industries, including road construction. Bio-based construction, using Microbial Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation ... Read more
An overview of green processes and technologies, biobased chemicals and products for industrial applications

Author: Ramchuran, Santosh O ; O’Brien, Frances F ; Dube, Noluthando N ; Ramdas, V Date: Jun 2023 Recently, there has been a paradigm shift towards ‘greener’ processes/products, with emphasis being placed on sustainability. The traditional manufacturing processes require re-working and adapting new methods to ensure that they are more ... Read more
Performance evaluation of bio-based fractions derived from Bacillus spp. for potential in situ soil stabilisation

Author: Ramdas, Veshara ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Mandree, Prisha ; Mgangira, Martin B ; Mukaratirwa, Samson ; Ramchuran, Santosh O Date: Feb 2022 Current and future research focuses on the use of renewable technologies and materials to stabilise weak soils, of varying degrees, for road construction applications. Soil stabilisation is a method of strengthening a natural soil to meet ... Read more
Production and stability of a multi-strain Bacillus based probiotic product for commercial use in poultry

Author: Ramlucken, Uraisha ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Moonsamy, Ghaneshree ; Jansen van Rensburg, C ; Thantsha, MS ; Lalloo, Rajesh Date: Mar 2021 Probiotics can be effective alternatives to the prophylactic use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in response to industry and consumer concerns around their use in poultry. Studies on the suitability of Bacillus probiotics are emerging ... Read more
Review of current and future bio-based stabilisation products (enzymatic and polymeric) for road construction materials (article)

Author: Ramdas, Veshara M ; Mandree, Prisha ; Mgangira, Martin B ; Mukaratirwa, S ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Ramchuran, Santosh O Date: Mar 2021 In situ soil modification is required in order to improve the primary engineering properties of the material to meet a road construction standard. Bio-stabilised soil is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative to imported ... Read more
Trichoderma: Biocontrol agents for promoting plant growth and soil health

Author: El Enshasy, HA ; Ambehabati, KK ; El Baz, AF ; Ramchuran, Santosh O ; Sayyed, RZ ; Amalin, D ; Dailin, DJ ; Hanapi, SZ Date: Aug 2020 Trichoderma is a saprotrophic fungus which largely can be found in environments such as forest soil, roots and leaves. This fungus has been declared as soil fungi due to its significant for their fast growth. They exhibited high capacity to ... Read more
Understanding the mechanism of interaction of candidate soil stabilizing prototypes by using microscopy and spectroscopy techniques

Author: Ramdas, Veshara M ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Lekha, Prabashni S ; Mgangira, Martin B ; Muniyasamy, Sudhakar ; Mukaratirwa, S ; Ramchuran, Santosh O Date: May 2021 Globally, there is a high demand for bio-based soil stabilizers required for improving the strength properties of weak in situ soil. Microbes and microbial components such as Bacillus spp. have gained interest as soil stabilizers due to their ... Read more
Use of Bacillus spp in the bioremediation of fats, oils and greases (FOG’s), and other waste substrates in food processing effluents

Author: Roets-Dlamini, Yrielle ; Moonsamy, Ghaneshre ; Lalloo, Rajesh ; Ramchuran, Santosh O Date: Jul 2022 Food production industries generate large amounts of untreated water-borne food wastes that accumulate and block drains and pipes, increasing life cycle operating costs. Food wastes contain high concentrations of protein, carbohydrates (sugars), ... Read more
