Microbial nanoscopy: a closer look at microbial cell surfaces.

Recent progress in microbial nanoscopy

How microbial cell walls are spatially organized and how they interact with their environment are important questions in current microbiology, which today are still largely unsolved owing to the lack of high-resolution probing techniques. This article surveys recent research carried out in the Dufrêne laboratory that substantially contributed to the growth of the exciting new field of microbial...

Performance of a Single Chamber Soil Microbial Fuel Cell at Varied External Resistances for Electric Power Generation

Modeling of Multi-population Microbial Fuel and Electrolysis Cells Based on the Bioanode Potential Conditions

Microbial fuel cell and microbial electrolysis cell are two major types of microbial electrochemical cells. In the present study, we governed modeling of these systems by concentrating on the simulation of bioelectrochemical reactions in both biofilm and anolyte and considering the effect of pH on the microbial growth. The simulation of microbial fuel and electrolysis cells can be described by ...

Pollution reduction and electricity production from dairy industry wastewater with microbial fuel cell

Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was implemented to select optimum values of process parameters and to attain the maximum removal of pollutants and power generation from dairy industry wastewater using double chambered salt bridge microbial fuel cell. The maximum chemical oxygen demand reduction, current, voltage, power, current density and power density in double chambered salt bridge microbial fue...

Effect of Electrolyte Conductivity and Aeration on Performance of Sediment Microbial Fuel Cell

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are a promising technology for a viable source of energy. This technology is faced with many challenges, such as limited mass transfer and low electricity generation. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of electrolyte conductivity and aeration effect on power generation from SMFCs. Electrical conductivity was adjusted at 6different levels...
