Fast hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) determination is important for environmental risk and health-related considerations. We used a microbial fuel cell-based biosensor inoculated with a facultatively anaerobic, Cr(VI)-reducing, and exoelectrogenic Ochrobactrum anthropi YC152 to determine the Cr(VI) concentration in water. The results indicated that O. anthropi YC152 exhibited high adaptability to ...

Abstract Biomass is one of the most abundant renewable energy resources on earth, which also considered as promising alternatives to traditional fuel energy. In recent years, microbial cell (MFC) can directly convert chemical from organic compounds into electric has been developed. By using MFC, biomass could be harvested with form electricity, convenient, wide-spread, and clean Therefore, MFC ...

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are important precursors of tumor stromal cells. Previously, we have demonstrated that miR-155-5p inhibition directly induced transition of BM-MSCs into gastric cancer-associated MSCs. Whether miR-155-5p is involved in the education of BM-MSCs by gastric cancer cells has not been established. Murine BM-MSCs (mMSCs) were isolated and grown in ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) power densities are often constrained by the oxygen reduction reaction rate on the cathode electrode. One important factor for this is the normally low solubility of oxygen in the aqueous cathode solution, which creates mass transport limitation and hinders oxygen reduction at the electrocatalyst (platinum, Pt). Here, we increased the air pressure in the cathode chambe...

In this study, we attempted to enrich neutrophilic iron bacteria in a microbial fuel cell (MFC)-type reactor in order to develop a lithotrophic MFC system that can utilize ferrous iron as an inorganic electron donor and operate at neutral pHs. Electrical currents were steadily generated at an average level of 0.6 mA (or 0.024 mA cm(-2) of membrane area) in reactors initially inoculated with mic...

A combined approach of treating domestic wastewater using microbial fuel cell (MFC) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) has been developed as a promising and reliable technology of wastewater treatment. Treatment of wastewater in a single stage MFC has limitation to achieve the required treatment efficiency and utilize the effluent for irrigation or any other possible reuse without further treatment....

Changes in metabolism and cellular physiology of facultative anaerobes during oxygen exposure can be substantial, but little is known about how these changes connect with electrical current output from an operating microbial fuel cell (MFC). A high-throughput voltage based screening assay (VBSA) was used to correlate current output from a MFC containing Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 to carbon sour...

CD19-directed treatment in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCP-ALL) frequently leads to the downmodulation of targeted antigens. As multicolour flow cytometry (MFC) application for minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment BCP-ALL is based on compartment study, CD19 loss could hamper MFC-MRD monitoring after blinatumomab or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) the...

Systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a life-threatening protein deposition disorder; however, effective therapy can dramatically improve the prognosis of AL patients. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of the underlying hematologic disease is important. Multi-parameter flow cytometry (MFC) is a reliable method to analyze lymphatic neoplasias and to detect even a small lymphatic clone. We...

Clonal plasma cell disorders (PCD) including mostly monoclonal gammopathy of undeter‐ mined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) are characterised by expansion of abnormal (clonal) plasma cells (PCs) producing monoclonal protein (M-protein, MIG). Although multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) allows identification and characterisation of these neoplastic PCs, this approach is used in ro...
