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 ...
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...
AbstractThis review lays emphasis on the research works carried out across the globe on plastic degrading bacteria. The field of Microbiology is proving to have immense importance in eradicating pollutants from the environment in the long run. One of the most worked on research is on bacterial species that can degrade biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are made of monomers which bond via ester...
Production of Amylase by solid state fermentation process using the microorganism Aspergillus niger
INTRODUCTIONAgricultural microbiology is a branch of microbiology dealing with plant-associated microbes and plant and animal diseases. It also deals with the microbiology of soil fertility, such as microbial degradation of organic matter and soil nutrient transformations.Agricultural microbiology is a scientific discipline oriented to satisfy the request of new knowledge from the society, consumers and producers, needed for the exploitation of microbial resources in the main frame of agricul...
