2. 1. Influence of electrode material and stochastic factors on the performance and microbial community assembly in microbial electrochemical systems

   Author : Marie Abadikhah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microbial community assembly; bioanode; biocathode; biochemical system;

   Abstract : Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are systems with microbial communities in the form of biofilms on electrode surfaces. The electrogenic bacteria in the anode biofilm act as catalysts for the oxidization of organic compounds, leading to release of electrons, generation of electrical current, and production of hydrogen and methane at the cathode.

4. 2. Microbial communities in biological electrochemical systems

   Author : Marie Abadikhah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; viruses; microbial ecology. microbial electrolysis cells; bioelectrochemical system; biocathode; bioanode; microbial community assembly;

   Abstract : Biological electrochemical systems (BES) can be used as biosensors and for recovery of resources from waste streams. BES utilizes microbial communities that grow on the surface of electrodes in the form of biofilms. READ MORE

5. 3. Sulphur-Utilizing Microorganisms in Biotechnological Applications - Rubber Recycling and Vanadium Reduction

   Author : Katarina Bredberg; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pyrococcus furiosus; Acidithiobacillus; microbial vanadium reduction; microbial detoxification; rubber recycling; devulcanization; Biotechnological desulphurization; waste rubber materials; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : Biotechnological processes offer environmentally friendly and sometimes cost-effective alternatives to traditional chemical and mechanical methods. It is important to take advantages of the opportunities these processes provide to fulfil the demands and expectations of a future environmentally sustainable society. READ MORE

6. 4. Microbial Degradation of Toxaphene

   Author : Martha Lacayo; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kontroll av utsläpp; Miljöteknik; pollution control; Enterobacter; Environmental technology; Bjerkandera; Toxaphene; Biodegradation; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : This works deals with the degradation of a group of recalcitrant compounds known as toxaphene. Toxaphene is a complex mixture of chlorinated compounds including hexa- and octachlorocamphenes, hepta-, nona- and decachlorobornanes. Some components of toxaphene are very persistent while others are degraded rapidly by both abiotic and biotic processes. READ MORE

7. 5. SOUnd-DRIven BIOtechnology

   Author : Nasim Najjarzadeh; Paul Christakopoulos; Cristhian Álvaro Carrasco Villanueva; Luleå tekniska universitet; []

   Abstract : Ultrasound has been vastly applied in different areas such as medical imaging and the food industry, but not much attempt has been made to investigate its influence on microorganisms and its potential to be applied in microbial biotechnology. Previous studies show the potential of acoustic waves to increase biomass yield, production of secondary metabolites and enhanced enzyme-catalyzed reactions, probably due to improved mass transfer and cell retention.
