SummaryIn this study, we attempted to enrich neutrophilic iron bacteria in a
microbial fuel cell (MFC)‐type reactor in order to develop a lithotrophic MFC
system that can utilize ferrous iron as an inorganic electron donor and operate
at neutral pHs. Electrical currents were steadily generated at an average level
of 0.6 mA (or 0.024 mA cm–2 of membrane area) in reactors initially inoculated
with m... hiện toàn bộ
Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) strengthen the metabolic function of food waste biodegradation by gut microbiomeMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 528-543 - 2019

SummaryVermicomposting using black soldier fly (BSF) larvae (Hermetia illucens)
has gradually become a promising biotechnology for waste management, but
knowledge about the larvae gut microbiome is sparse. In this study, 16S rRNA
sequencing, SourceTracker, and network analysis were leveraged to decipher the
influence of larvae gut microbiome on food waste (FW) biodegradation. The
microbial communi... hiện toàn bộ
AnUstilago maydischassis for itaconic acid production without by‐productsMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 350-362 - 2020
Johanna Becker, Hamed Hosseinpour Tehrani, Marc Gauert, Jörg Mämpel, Lars M. Blank, Nick Wierckx
SummaryUstilago maydisis a promising yeast for the production of a range of
valuable metabolites, including itaconate, malate, glycolipids and
triacylglycerols. However, wild‐type strains generally produce a potpourri of
all of these metabolites, which hinders efficient production of single target
chemicals. In this study, the diverse by‐product spectrum ofU. maydiswas reduced
through strain engin... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of inoculation with a microbial consortium that degrades organic acids on the composting efficiency of food wasteMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 1124-1136 - 2018
Caihong Song, Yali Zhang, Shengwang Gao, Hui Qi, Mingxiao Li, Hongwei Pan, Beidou Xi
SummaryIn order to overcome the excessive acidification problem, a microbial
consortium for the degradation of organic acids (MCDOA), which acts
synergistically in degrading organic acids, was developed and used as an
inoculum to improve the efficiency of food waste composting. MCDOA could
eliminate the initial lag phase of the pile temperature rise because of
excessive acidification and effective... hiện toàn bộ
Co‐occurrence of antibiotic, biocide, and heavy metal resistance genes in bacteria from metal and radionuclide contaminated soils at the Savannah River SiteMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 1179-1200 - 2020

SummaryContaminants such as heavy metals may contribute to the dissemination of
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by enriching resistance gene determinants via
co‐selection mechanisms. In the present study, a survey was performed on soils
collected from four areas at the Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina, USA,
with varying contaminant profiles: relatively pristine (Upper Three Runs), heavy

Comparative genome‐wide analysis of small RNAs of major Gram‐positive pathogens: from identification to applicationMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 3 Số 6 - Trang 658-676 - 2010

SummaryIn the recent years, the number of drug‐ and multi‐drug‐resistant
microbial strains has increased rapidly. Therefore, the need to identify
innovative approaches for development of novel anti‐infectives and new
therapeutic targets is of high priority in global health care. The detection of
small RNAs (sRNAs) in bacteria has attracted considerable attention as an
emerging class of new gene ex... hiện toàn bộ
Membrane biofilm development improves COD removal in anaerobic membrane bioreactor wastewater treatmentMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 883-894 - 2015
Adam L. Smith, Steven J. Skerlos, Lutgarde Raskin
SummaryMembrane biofilm development was evaluated to improve psychrophilic
(15°C) anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment of domestic wastewater.
An AnMBR containing three replicate submerged membrane housings with separate
permeate collection was operated at three levels of membrane fouling by
independently controlling biogas sparging for each membrane unit. High membrane
fouling signific... hiện toàn bộ
Nitrite production by ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria mediates chloramine decay and resistance in a mixed‐species communityMicrobial Biotechnology - Tập 13 Số 6 - Trang 1847-1859 - 2020
Pejhman Keshvardoust, Vanessa A. A. Huron, Matthew Clemson, Nicolas Barraud, Stuart A. Rice
SummaryAs water distribution centres increasingly switch to using chloramine to
disinfect drinking water, it is of paramount importance to determine the
interactions of chloramine with potential biological contaminants, such as
bacterial biofilms, that are found in these systems. For example,
ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are known to accelerate the decay of chloramine
in drinking water systems... hiện toàn bộ
