To date, the analysis ofmicrobial compositionsin anaerobicdigestersunder various operation conditions have been conducted on a large scale. Therein, the ...
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an environmentally friendly technology for electricity harvesting from a variety of substrates. Microorganisms used as catalysts in the anodic chamber, which are termed as electricigens, play a major role in the operation of MFCs. This review provides an introduction to...
Hydrogen is the best biofuel for future fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Gasification[117], pyrolysis, gasification in critical water[139], aqueous phase reforming[140], dark anaerobic fermentation[141], light fermentation[142], microbial electro hydrogenesis, and their combinations are the methods for ...

In this work, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) stack containing 28 ceramic MFCs was tested in both standard and supercapacitive modes. The MFCs consisted of carbon veil anodes wrapped around the ceramic separator and air-breathing cathodes based on activated
Decomposition is one of Earth’s most foundational processes, sustaining life through the recycling of dead biological material1,2. This resource conversion is critical for fuelling core ecosystem functions, such as plant productivity and soil respiration. Microbial networks underpin organic matter breakdo...
The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is increasingly used as alternative cell factory for the production of recombinant proteins. At present, several promoters with different strengths have been developed based either on the constitutive pTEF promote
The fuel cell produced no electricity. They added humic acids -- a non-living electron shuttle -- and the fuel cells worked. Bacteria from the sludge are better shuttles than humic acids because they are self-sustaining. The researchers have filed provisional patents on this process. "This ...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that exploit microorganisms to generate electric power from organic matter. Despite the development of efficient MFC reactors, the microbiology of electricity generation remains to be sufficiently understood. A lab
The production and use of biologically derived soil additives is one of the fastest growing sectors of the fertilizer industry. These products have been shown to improve crop yields while at the same time reducing fertilizer inputs to and nutrient loss f
