Microbial Fuel Cell

IntroductionMicrobial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioreactors that convert chemical energy stored in the bonds of organic mattersinto electricity through biocatalysis of microorganisms (Potter, 1911; Cohen, 1931; Davis and Yarbrough, 1962;Moon et al., 2006). The schematic of a typical MFC is shown in Fig. 1. In the sketch below, the anodic andcathodic chamber are separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM) (Wilkinson, 2000; Gil et al., 2003) thatallows transport protons while blocking oxygen and ...

Health benefits of Ginger

ABSTRACTGinger is a member of the Zingiberaceae family of plants. It has been a part of healing strategies in Asia, India, Europe, Africa and the Middle East for centuries for treatment of such disorders as arthritis, stomach upset, asthma, diabetes and menstrual irregularities. There is scientific support that ginger may alleviate the symptoms of nausea and vomiting following pregnancy, surgery, cancer therapy, or motion sickness and suggestive evidence that ginger reduces inflammation and p...

Norovirus

NOROVIRUSNorovirus (NoV), causing the winter vomiting disease, is today recognized as the most important agent of acute human gastroenteritisThe etiology of diarrheas can involve several agents, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Bacterial agents are relatively more important in developing countries, whereas viral agents are more relevant in industrialized countries. The importance of these agents is related to hygiene and sanitation conditions for the population1. In 1972, a 27-nm vir...

Isolation and screening of fungi from the rhizosphere of moringa oleifera for amylase and protease production

ABSTRACTThe present study is to isolate fungi from rhizosphere of Moringa oleifera and screen them for the production of some very important enzymes such as amylase and protease. Twenty fungi were isolated from the soil sample from five different farms using pour plate method. The isolates were then identified based on their colonial morphology and microscopic features in wet mount and Lactophenol Cotton Blue staining. All the isolates were screened for amylase and protease production by star...

ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF EAR WAX ON CLINICAL ISOLATES

justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:200%">1.0    INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:200%">Ear wax is normally produced in the ear canal. It is made up of the secretions of specialized sets of glands located in the ear canal. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum. Sebum is mostly a combination of fatty acids. Modified apocrine sweat glands release a secretion that combines with the sebum to form cerumen. This cerumen also picks ...

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF MANGO PEEL AGAINST SOME PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS.

ABSTRACTAntimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of Mangifera indica peel wastested on some pathogenic organisms. The extract was tested for activityagainst, Baciollus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonelatyphii, Pseudomonas notatum and Aspergillus fumigates. The extract exhibitedactivity against the organisms in varying degrees. In agar diffusion test,Escherichia coli showed the highest zone of inhibition (8mm) at theconcentration of the extract test (1g/3ml) while ...
