    Challenges and Future Prospects of Biotechnology
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2021) Aransiola S.A
    Biotechnology is the manipulation of living organisms or their components to produce useful products. It is an innovative, interdisciplinary field that impacts many sectors, including agriculture, veterinary, medicine, pharmaceutical, and fine chemicals production. It is one of the key enabling technologies for sustainable production. However, there are challenges and some promising future prospects on biotechnology. This chapter takes into account, various areas where biotechnology is challenging and where it could be a future solution if harness effectively.

    Impact and Application of Microbial Biofilms in Water Sanitation
    (CRC press, 2022) Aransiola S.A
    Water availability for human consumption is largely declining, despite the fact that it is a basic requirement of life. Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and many are polluted by anthropogenic sources such as industrial effluents, agricultural waste, and household waste. As a result, before discharging wastewater into a natural water body, it must be treated to remove various contaminants found in the wastewater, such as floc, organic carbon, nutrients, inorganic salts, and heavy metals. This chapter briefly discusses the impact and significance of sanitation on public and environmental health; biofilm in wastewater treatment; the formation of polymeric matrix (biofilm) in pipelines in relation to physical, chemical, and biological processes; and the use of microbial biofilms in wastewater treatment and the agricultural sector, as well as methods for mediating biofilm growth by the choice of pipe material used and the disinfectant system employed.

    Microbial enzymes for sustainable development - future guidelines
    (Springer Nature Singapore, 2022) Aransiola S.A
    Pollution of the environment is a significant threat to the health of humans and other living things. Traditional pollutant removal methods are ineffective at reducing pollution levels to acceptable levels. For pollutant remediation, biological methods are preferred due to their greater efficiency and biocompatibility. Bioremediation is the term for these low-cost, environmentally friendly methods of reducing pollution. Enzymes play the most important role in bioremediation methods. PAHs, azo dyes, polymers, organocyanides, lead, chromium, and mercury are among the organic and inorganic pollutants that enzymes can help to eliminate. Various enzymes from various species have been isolated. Recently, various enzymes isolated from various species have been used for pollutant bioremediation. Cytochrome P450s, laccases, hydrolases, dehalogenases, dehydrogenases, proteases, and lipases are some of the most common enzymes involved in bioremediation, and they have shown promise in the degradation of polymers, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated compounds, dyes, detergents, agrochemical compounds, and others. Mechanisms like oxidation, reduction, elimination, and ring-opening have aided recent advancements in the use of microbial enzymes for bioremediation.
