Microbial diversity of vermicompost bacteria that exhibit useful agricultural traits and waste management potential
Vermicomposting is a non-thermophilic, boioxidative process that involves earthworms and associated microbes. This biological organic waste decomposition process yields the biofertilizer namely the vermicompost. Vermicompost is a finely divided, peat like material with high porosity, good aeration, drainage, water holding capacity, microbial activity, excellent nutrient status and buffering cap...
متن کاملMicrobial Indicators of Nutrient Enrichment: A Mesocosm Study
Microbial communities are in close contact with the wetland soil microenvironment and can therefore function effectively as monitors of soil pollution. The objective of this studywas to determine changes in the functional responses of microbial communities as a result of an external input of nutrients, while controlling for vegetation. A controlled experiment was performed at the mesocosm scale...
متن کاملEnrichment of microbial electrolysis cell biocathodes from sediment microbial fuel cell bioanodes.
Electron-accepting (electrotrophic) biocathodes were produced by first enriching graphite fiber brush electrodes as the anodes in sediment-type microbial fuel cells (sMFCs) using two different marine sediments and then electrically inverting the anodes to function as cathodes in two-chamber bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). Electron consumption occurred at set potentials of -439 mV and -539 mV...
متن کاملHigh shear enrichment improves the performance of the anodophilic microbial consortium in a microbial fuel cell
In many microbial bioreactors, high shear rates result in strong attachment of microbes and dense biofilms. In this study, high shear rates were applied to enrich an anodophilic microbial consortium in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Enrichment at a shear rate of about 120 s(-1) resulted in the production of a current and power output two to three times higher than those in the case of low shear r...
متن کاملLocalized electron transfer rates and microelectrode-based enrichment of microbial communities within a phototrophic microbial mat
Phototrophic microbial mats frequently exhibit sharp, light-dependent redox gradients that regulate microbial respiration on specific electron acceptors as a function of depth. In this work, a benthic phototrophic microbial mat from Hot Lake, a hypersaline, epsomitic lake located near Oroville in north-central Washington, was used to develop a microscale electrochemical method to study local el...
