Condensate originating from household food waste as a substrate for Microbial Fuel Cells

Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Vlachaki E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of the bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy, through the catalytic reactions of microorganisms. Under anaerobic conditions various substrates have been examined using MFC technology. This study examines the...Read more

Acclimation of microbial consortia on acidogenic effluents for enhanced production of polyhyrtoxyalkanoates.

Rokizas S., Kora E., Kalogirou T., Antonopoulou G., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Bioplastics
The aim of the present study was to develop efficient MMCs via their acclimation to a mixture of volatile fatty acids, sugars, and lactate i.e. the acidogenic effluents of a hydrogen-generating bioreactor processing food wastes. Acclimation was conducted under sequential carbon (C) and nitrogen (N...Read more
