Tanta University said that Dr. Samir has published scientific research in the most important international scientific journals.

Dr. Samir stated that it was the first of its kind to discover new strains of bacteria in the intestines of termites, the wood-eater, and these bacteria have a superior ability to break down chrysolite-coated wood.

He added, “The maximum benefit from the crushing and processing products can be obtained through anaerobic digestion to produce biofuels, which offer a unique and sustainable solution to pollution.”

Dr. Samir urged researchers to benefit from agricultural or factory waste, dyes and toxic chemicals that can be converted as end products into various forms of energy such as methane, biodiesel, bioethanol, through biological treatment, which is environmentally friendly and inexpensive.
