New insights are reported on the degradation of organics in urine, changes anodic bacterial community and MFC performance urine.
Abstract Plastic pollution poses a worldwide environmental challenge, affecting wildlife and human health. Assessing the biodegradation capabilities of natural microbiomes in environments contaminated with microplastics is crucial for mitigating effects plastic pollution. In this work, we evaluated potential landfill leachate (LL) estuarine sediments (ES) to biodegrade polyethylene (PE), terephthalate (PET), polycaprolactone (PCL), under aerobic, anaerobic, thermophilic, mesophilic...
This study investigated the effect of pre-fermented urine on anode performance a two-chambered microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) compared to raw urine. Pre-fermentation was performed by anaerobic digestion. The this pre-fermentation MEC assessed measuring removal chemical oxygen demand (COD), current density and Coulombic efficiency (CE). using fermented achieved higher average (218 ± 6 mA m−2) CE (17%). Although no significant differences were observed in COD between both urines,...
Microbial conversion of carbon monoxide (CO)/syngas has been extensively investigated. The microbial CO/syngas offers numerous advantages over chemically catalyzed processes e.g. the specificity biocatalysts, operation at ambient conditions and high efficiencies. Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) exploit capacity electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) to use insoluble electron acceptors or donors produce electricity added-value compounds. Electricity production from different organic...
Epilactose is a disaccharide composed of galactose and mannose, it currently considered an “under development” prebiotic. In this study, we described the prebiotic potential epilactose by in vitro fermentation using human fecal inocula from individuals following Mediterranean diet (DM) or Vegan (DV). The effect was also compared with lactulose raffinose, interesting correlations were established between metabolites microbiota modulation. production several (lactate, short-chain fatty acids,...
