Degradation of Lignin in Agricultural Residues by locally Isolated Fungus Neurospora discreta (2016)
Journal Article
Pamidipati, S., & Ahmed, A. (2017). Degradation of Lignin in Agricultural Residues by locally Isolated Fungus Neurospora discreta. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 181(4), 1561-1572. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12010-016-2302-6

Locally isolated fungus, Neurospora discreta, was evaluated for its ability to degrade lignin in two agricultural residues: cocopeat and sugarcane bagasse with varying lignin concentrations and structures. Using Klason’s lignin estimation, high-perfo... Read More about Degradation of Lignin in Agricultural Residues by locally Isolated Fungus Neurospora discreta.

Improved ammonium removal from industrial wastewater through systematic adaptation of wild type Chlorella pyrenoidosa (2016)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., Jyothi, N., & Ramesh, A. (2017). Improved ammonium removal from industrial wastewater through systematic adaptation of wild type Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Water Science and Technology, 75(1), 182-188. https://doi.org/10.2166/wst.2016.507

A single step process is proposed for ammonium removal from nitrogenous industrial effluents, with a concomitant generation of algal biomass. A microalgal strain found in the effluent treatment plant of a fertilizer industry in Mumbai, India was syst...

Ethanol via biomass-generated syngas (2008)
Journal Article
Lewis, R., Frankman, A., Tanner, R., Ahmed, A., & Huhnke, R. (2008). Ethanol via biomass-generated syngas. International Sugar Journal, 110(1311), 150-152, 154-155 ref. 22

Developing low-cost sustainable fuels, such as ethanol, is receiving much attention due to rising energy costs, national security, and environmental issues. Renewable biomass, such as switchgrass, can be utilized to produce fuel-grade ethanol via a g... Read More about Ethanol via biomass-generated syngas.

Fermentation of biomass-generated synthesis gas: Effects of nitric oxide (2006)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., & Lewis, R. S. (2007). Fermentation of biomass-generated synthesis gas: Effects of nitric oxide. Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 97(5), 1080-1086. https://doi.org/10.1002/bit.21305

The production of renewable fuels, such as ethanol, has been steadily increasing owing to the need for a reduced dependency on fossil fuels. It was demonstrated previously that biomass-generated synthesis gas (biomass-syngas) can be converted to etha...

Effects of biomass-generated producer gas constituents on cell growth, product distribution and hydrogenase activity of Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T (2006)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., Cateni, B. G., Huhnke, R. L., & Lewis, R. S. (2006). Effects of biomass-generated producer gas constituents on cell growth, product distribution and hydrogenase activity of Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T. Biomass and Bioenergy, 30(7), 665-672. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2006.01.007

In our previous work, we demonstrated that biomass-generated producer gas can be converted to ethanol and acetic acid using a microbial catalyst Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T. Results showed that the producer gas (1) induced cell dormancy, (2) inhi...
