Waste-derived single-cell protein in Nigeria: current status, translational gaps, and development opportunities

Abstract This review examines the current state of single-cell protein (SCP) research based on waste-derived substrates in Nigeria, with emphasis on substrate choice, microbial systems, bioprocess strategies, performance reporting, and prospects for commercial translation. Eviden...

Assessment of environmentally suitable sites for solid waste sanitary landfill using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and GIS in Uyo and environs, South-South Nigeria

Abstract Rapid urban growth in the Global South makes it harder to choose infrastructure corridors, especially in sensitive coastal basins. This study introduces a spatial decision-support framework tailored to local conditions. It combines the Delphi technique, Analytical Hierar...

Inoculum-dependent microbial communities and the inoculum-to-substrate ratio regulate biomethane potential during co-digestion of solid wastes

Anaerobic co-digestion of organic wastes is a sustainable method for recovering renewable energy, but its performance is highly dependent on factors such as the type of inoculum used and the inoculum-to-substrate ratio (ISR). The impact of inoculum type and ISR on biogas producti...
