With the recent advancement of Internet Things (IoT), it is now possible to process a large number sensor data streams using different large-scale IoT platforms. These frameworks are used collect, and analyse in real-time facilitate provision smart solutions designed provide decision support. Existing IoT-based mainly domain-dependent, providing stream processing analytics focusing on specific areas (smart cities, healthcare etc.). In context agri-food industry, variety external parameters...
The concurrence of structurally complex petroleum-associated contaminants at relatively high concentrations, with diverse climatic conditions and textural soil characteristics, hinders conventional bioremediation processes. Recalcitrant compounds such as molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW-PAHs) heavy alkanes commonly remain after standard concentrations above regulatory limits. present study assessed the potential native fungal bioaugmentation a strategy to promote an...
ABSTRACT The soil fungus Cladophialophora sp. strain T1 (= ATCC MYA-2335) was capable of growth on a model water-soluble fraction gasoline that contained all six BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylene isomers). Benzene not metabolized, but alkylated benzenes (toluene, xylenes) were degraded by combination assimilation cometabolism. Toluene ethylbenzene used as sources carbon energy, whereas xylenes cometabolized to different extents. o -Xylene m -xylene converted...
Black yeast members of the Herpotrichiellaceae present a complex ecological behavior: They are often isolated from rather extreme environments polluted with aromatic hydrocarbons, while they also regularly involved in human opportunistic infections. A selective technique to promote vitro growth herpotrichiellaceous fungi was applied investigate their ecophysiology. Samples natural niches and man-made that might contain black yeasts were enriched on an inert solid support at low humidity...
Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose assimilation, hence, the independent acquisition of herbivory required establishment new endosymbiotic relationships between tetrapods microbes. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are one three groups marine with an herbivorous diet which acquire it after several years consuming pelagic animals. We characterized microbiota present in feces rectum 24 young wild captive green from coastal waters Brazil, curved carapace length...
A collection of 163 strains black yeast-like fungi from the CBS Fungal Biodiversity Center (Utrecht, The Netherlands), has been screened for ability to grow on hexadecane, toluene and polychlorinated biphenyl 126 (PCB126) as sole carbon energy source. These compounds were chosen representatives relevant environmental pollutants. microtiter plate-based culture assay was set up in order screen fungal growth selected xenobiotics versus glucose, a positive control. Growth observed 25 at least...
A collection of 34 melanized fungi isolated previously from anthropogenic contaminated sites were assessed for their tolerance to toxic concentrations As(V) and Cr(VI) anions. Three strains the species
The treatment of air contaminated with toluene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene was assayed in three laboratory-scale biofilters, each consisting two modules connected series, packed a pelletized organic fertilizer inoculated toluene-degrading liquid enrichment culture. Biofilters were operated parallel for 185 days which the volumetric loading rate progressively increased. operation regime subjected to drying out, so that packing humidity generally remained below 40%. Significant process failure...
BACKGROUND The utilization of different kinds ion exchange membrane is a common practice in bioelectrochemical systems such as two-chambered microbial fuel cells (MFCs). However, little known about the effect materials on anodic community diversity. RESULTS two cationic and one anionic membranes (Nafion N-117, Ultrex CMI-7000, AMI-7000) dynamics Eubacteria Archaea has been assessed MFCs. experimental results indicated that eubacterial chamber was not affected by materials, being...
