Erratum for “Aerobic Bacterial Metabolic Processes”

Membrane thickening aerobic digestion processes.

Sludge management accounts for approximately 60% of the total wastewater treatment plant expenditure and laws for sludge disposal are becoming increasingly stringent, therefore much consideration is required when designing a solids handling process. A membrane thickening aerobic digestion process integrates a controlled aerobic digestion process with pre-thickening waste activated sludge using ...

Biodegradation and detoxification of textile azo dyes by bacterial consortium under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic processes

Release of textile azo dyes to the environment is an issue of health concern while the use of microorganisms has proved to be the best option for remediation. Thus, in the present study, a bacterial consortium consisting of Providencia rettgeri strain HSL1 and Pseudomonas sp. SUK1 has been investigated for degradation and detoxification of structurally different azo dyes. The consortium showed ...

Effects of hypoxia and hypercapnia on aerobic metabolic processes in northern elephant seals.

An hypoxia-induced metabolic down-regulation has been implicated as an important protective mechanism against tissue deoxygenation in mammals. Whether the same response to hypoxia occurs in northern elephant seals was studied. The effects of hypercapnia were also examined to determine whether the reduced ventilatory response of seals to CO2 is associated with an analogous protective metabolic d...

Systems Biology Approach to Discovery of Phenotype-Specific Metabolic Processes for Engineering Bacterial Bio-Hydrogen

Biological hydrogen is one of the most promising alternative energy and fuel resource today. Due to the ability of several naturally occurring microorganisms to generate hydrogen using different metabolic processes, engineered biohydrogen production is considered a feasible and sustainable technology. To improve upon current technological applications, biological and metabolic engineering appro...
