Abstract Background Biosurfactants, being highly biodegradable, ecofriendly and multifunctional compounds have wide applications in various industrial sectors including environmental bioremediation. Surfactin, a member of lipopeptide family, which is considered as one the most powerful biosurfactants due to its excellent emulsifying activities well therapeutic applications. Therefore, aim this study was investigate newly isolated bacterial strain S2MT for production surfactin-like their...
Tuning the electron distribution of metal single-atom active sites via bimetallic clusters is an effective way to enhance their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity.
This work investigated the feasibility of enhancing biohydrogen yield from agricultural wheat straw by introducing an electrohydrogenesis process into dark fermentation (DF) and using heat-pretreated activated sludge as inoculum a strategy to inhibit methanogens' growth. The achieved maximum was 5.416 mmol H2/g-straw with energy recovery efficiency 94.4%. It reported coulombic 74% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal 81.32% whereas NH3-H 42.25%. main volatile fatty acids (VFA) detected at...
Rift Valley fever (RVF), a mosquito-borne transboundary zoonosis, was first confirmed in Rwanda's livestock 2012 and since then sporadic cases have been reported almost every year. In 2018, the country experienced its large outbreak, which followed by second one 2022. To determine circulating virus lineages their ancestral origin, two genome sequences from 2018 thirty-six, forty-one, thirty-eight of small (S), medium (M), (L) segments, respectively, 2022 outbreak were generated. All samples...
African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the ASF virus (ASFV) that can kill up to 100% of domestic pigs and wild boars. The pig industry in Rwanda highly threatened ASF, with several outbreaks reported yearly World Organization for Animal Health. Despite endemic status, no ASFV from has been genetically characterized. This study reports, first time, genotypes causing Rwanda. confirmation was performed polymerase chain reaction followed molecular...
Soil physicochemical properties are the main driving factors affecting stability and diversity of soil microbial community. The impacts saline–alkali situation associated degradation need to be understood reversed as communities increasingly affected by saline–alkaline soil. However, differences between salinization alkalization their impact on microbiota have been overlooked. object this study is demonstrate in microbiota. In study, 12 samples collected from spots were used detect...
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an emerging zoonotic mosquito-borne disease caused by Fever virus (RVFV), affecting both humans and animals. It endemic to Rwanda Tanzania Uganda which are adjacent countries, with possible transboundary transmissions. Despite the various outbreak reports in since 2012, information on intensity spread of these outbreaks their management scarce. We describe 2022 that happened provide insights into One Health response implemented during outbreak. There were no human...
Abstract Although the process of microbial degradation coal to produce biomethane has got much attention from many research works, products profiles at initial stage methanogenic bioconversion are not clear yet. In this study, five coal‐degrading bacterial strains (CD1, CD10, CD20, CD24, and CD25) a community were isolated identified. Among them, CD1 CD24 belong Paenibacillus sp., CD10 CD20 Bacillus CD25 belongs Stenotrophomonas sp. After biotreatment lignite bituminous coal, kinds newly...
Gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota is one of the most complicated microbial ecosystems and vital in regulating biological processes associated with nutrient absorption homeostatic maintenance. Although several efforts have been achieved characterizing bacterial communities across gut regions, variation non-bacterial GI tracts still largely unexplored. To address this, we investigated biogeography throughout whole Ujimqin sheep (Ovis aries) by amplicon sequencing which targeted bacteria, fungi,...
Cottonseed hull (CSH), typical agro-industrial byproduct, is widely valorized as ruminant alternative feeds, but many constraints including extensive anti-nutritional factors and indigenous hazardous microflora are still reasonably unsolved. This study proposed a novel strategy that valorizes unautoclaved CSH feeds via solid-state fermentation (SSF), where feasibility microbial mechanism were roundly investigated. The SSF of raw (R group, in this study) was compared with autoclaved (M...
The slow reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in electro-Fenton technology limits pollutant removal and causes Fe sludge production. This study hypothesizes that Shewanella, a dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, can accelerate the iron Fenton reaction. A Shewanella biofilm coupled with Fe2O3 coated electrode (F/S) was used drive reaction, compared results singlet (F) anode (S). Meanwhile, dissolved oxygen (DO) is studied as an important influencing factor. suitable DO verified at ∼2 mg/L, phenol...
