Biological degradation of potato pulp waste and microbial community structure in microbial fuel cells
The microbial electrochemical cell (MEC) is a promising waste treatment technology to accomplish simultaneous alternative energy production and degradation of organic matters. Potato pulp waste (PPW) from a potato processing plant contains a large amount of carbohydrates that need be degradated before discharge into the environment. Here, we describe electricity generation in singlechamber micr...
متن کاملMicrobial community optimization for electricity generation in Microbial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a type of fuel cells that use bacteria as biocatalyst to oxidize an organic substrate to release electrons, which can be harvested in an external circuit to produce electric energy. This technology hold the potential to help overcome energetic problems and at the same time treat waste water more efficiently than the current employed techniques. Despite all this p...
متن کاملMicrobial Fuel Cells in Waste Treatment: Recent Advances
The increasing awareness that there are limits to the availability of nonrenewable resources, as well as that there are limits to the biosphere’s ability to absorb wastes, are at the basis of the growing interest about Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) technology, with particular regards to their application to wastes treatment. MFCs, in fact, couple the direct electric power production to the degrad...
متن کاملMicrobial Degradation of Shrimp Waste in Soil
This study presents results of research on a number of microorganisms in soil of the Chełmżyńskie lake watershed and their role in the decomposition of chitin. The authors also examined the level of respiration activity of soil in the presence of shrimp waste. Results demonstrate that the number of microorganisms in soil were variable. During the entire research period, the analyzed groups of m...
متن کاملSubstrate degradation kinetics, microbial diversity, and current efficiency of microbial fuel cells supplied with marine plankton.
The decomposition of marine plankton in two-chamber, seawater-filled microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been investigated and related to resulting chemical changes, electrode potentials, current efficiencies, and microbial diversity. Six experiments were run at various discharge potentials, and a seventh served as an open-circuit control. The plankton consisted of a mixture of freshly captured phy...
