Evaluation of viable anode material for bioelectricity production in Microbial Fuel Cell
Gautam R., Nayak J., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology is based on bioelectrochemical system, extract power from organic load of the wastes to produce bio-electricity. The present study have evaluated the effect of the different electrode materials in two sets of mediator-less H- type double chambered MFC operated...Read more

Evaluation of real bilge water toxic effects on methanogenic activity
(Corresponding) Gatidou G., Samanides C., Vyrides I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Bilge water (BW), an oily residue that is accumulated at the bottom of vessels, is mainly generated from pipes’ and engines’ leakage and consisted of lubricating and diesel oil, cleaning solvents, oily sludge and other hydraulic/engine spills from seawater filtrations as well as fresh and seawater...Read more
The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions
(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...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

Understanding the alteration of organic pollutants and microbiome profiles in a petrochemical wastewater biotreatment process
Wu F., (Corresponding) Deng F., Liu S., Hose G., Simon G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A better understanding of the alteration of organic pollutants and microorganisms in wastewater biotreatment processes is essential for the elucidation of pollutant removal mechanisms. This study investigated the alteration of organic pollutants, microbial communities and functional genes in a...Read more
Enhanced hydrogen production rates in Microbial Electrolysis Cell using Biocatalyst
(Corresponding) Gautam R., Ghosh U.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The energy consumption around the world has increased significantly and depleting reserves posing a major concern. The green energy sources are the need of the hour to counter the fuel scarcity and souring prices. Hydrogen production through a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is an effective and...Read more
Agro-Industry Waste Fed Microbial Electrolysis Cell for Biohydrogen Production
(Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
The microbial electrolysis cell is gaining advantage over the other biological hydrogen production techniques as it requires less energy for hydrogen generation as compared to the water electrolysis process. The present study aims to assess the aptness of Agro-Industry Waste (AIW) fed membrane-...Read more
