Overview

Makoto Shoda is affiliated with the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. Their research primarily centers on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with a focus on wastewater treatment and nitrogen removal, constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment, and enzyme-mediated dye degradation.

The scientist has contributed to studies on pollution, industrial and manufacturing engineering, plant science, biotechnology, and health-related toxicology and mutagenesis. Their main research topics also include landfill environmental impact studies, microbial metabolism and applications, pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts, and microplastics and plastic pollution.

Makoto Shoda's recent publications cover various aspects of landfill leachate treatment and nitrogen removal processes. Notable papers include:

  • Treatment of municipal landfill leachate at different stabilization stages in two-stage membrane bioreactor bioaugmented with Alcaligenes faecalis no. 4 (2020, Bioresource Technology Reports)
  • Removals of endocrine disrupting compounds during landfill leachate treatment in two-stage aerobic sequential batch reactor: Effect of Alcaligenes faecalis no.4 bio-augmentation (2023, Emerging contaminants)
  • Aerobic ammonia removal with heterotrophic nitrification and denitrification of Alcaligenes faecalis strain No.4 to mitigate nitrogenous pollution caused by piggery wastewater: a feasibility study (2022, The Journal of Agricultural Science)
  • APPLICATION OF ALCALIGENES FAECALIS NO. 4 FOR TREATMENT OF HIGH-STRENGTH AMMONIUM WASTEWATER (2020, Environmental Engineering and Management Journal)
  • Removals of emerging contaminants from municipal waste leachate by Alcaligenes faecalis no.4 and acclimated activated sludge cultures (2023, Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering)

Frequent co-authors in their work include Chart Chiemchaisri, Nararatchporn Nuansawan, Chayanid Witthayaphirom, Apichaya Sawasdee, and Ngech Horng Heang.

Makoto Shoda has published in venues such as Emerging contaminants, Bioresource Technology Reports, The Journal of Agricultural Science, Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, and Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering.

In addition to journal articles, Shoda has contributed to book publications, notably a title published by BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBLISHERS eBooks: Decolorization by Thanatephorus Cucumeris Dec 1 (2024).
