Biodecolourization of Azo Dye under Extreme Environmental Conditions via Klebsiella quasipneumoniae GT7: Mechanism and Efficiency

Bio-decolourization of azo-dye under anaerobic batch conditions

Anaerobic treatment system was used for determination of colour removal under batch conditions. Azo-dye (Reactive Black 5, RB 5) with glucose as a carbon source was used as a synthetic wastewater. The decolourization process follows first order kinetics with respect to RB 5 azo-dye concentration in batch conditions. Decolourization rate constant (k1) value for dye concentration of 150 mgL was 0...

Potentialities and ramifications of life under extreme environmental conditions.

A T A T I M E when man ventures his first tentative step into the wide spaces of the universe, it may be appropriate to take renewed stock of the most precious good we want to t ransfer to other worlds: life. We are curious to know how living matter will stand the shock of leaving its birthplace, the earth, and how it will cope with the possibility of facing its counterpart, another inhabited w...

Performance Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Technology Under Extreme Environmental Conditions

Lithium-ion technology has been demonstrated to have high specific energy, high energy density, and relatively long life. In addition, lithium-ion technology is especially attractive since it has the potential to operate over a very wide temperature range, which is particular important for a number of applications. This potential derives from the fact that lithium-ion cells possess organic solv...

Degradation of Azo Dye Reactive Black 5 and Acid Orange 7 by Fenton-Like Mechanism

Draft Genome Sequence of the First Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. quasipneumoniae Isolate from a Bloodstream Infection

Klebsiella quasipneumoniae is a recently described species, formerly identified as K. pneumoniae phylogroup KpII. Information on pathogenic and virulence potential of this species are lacking. We sequenced the genome of a hypermucoviscous K. quasipneumoniae clinical isolate showing a virulence genes content (allABCDRS, kfuABC, and mrkABCDFHIJ) peculiar to hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains.
