Parvimonas micra and Provetella oralis are two commensal anaerobic bacteria of the human oral cavity. Anaerobic infections uncommon require a high index suspicion quick start appropriate treatment. We present patient with multifocal infiltrates compatible septic embolism (lung, liver, spleen emboli) polymicrobial bacteremia oralis. Periodontal disease appears to be main cause this disseminated ...

in this paper, startup performance of upflow anaerobic hybrid reactor and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors in anaerobic treatment of distillery spentwash has been studied under identical conditions of operation. various effluent characteristics like ph, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand and total solids and other process parameters like biogas p...

During the last two decades the brewing industry has shown increasing awareness for environmental protection and the need of sustainable production processes. Implementation of ISO 14001 certification and more stringent environmental legislation have been important drivers for the brewing industry to invest in biological effluent treatment. The role of biological effluent treatment is discussed...

Anaerobic bacteria are important pathogens in many different infections. Empiric antimicrobial therapy is frequently used in the treatment of anaerobic infections as it might take several days for bacterial cultures to grow and, in many cases, the patient needs care without delay. The patient’s condition and the nature of the infecting microorganisms are of extreme importance.Since anaerobic in...

The recycling of organic wastes is required from the viewpoint of environmental issues. Sewage sludge makes up about 30% of the organic wastes in Japan, and at present, the ratio is increasing (Study group on bio-waste recycling, 1999); therefore, it is important to treat and utilize the sewage sludge. Conventional treatment methods such as land filling and ocean dumping have been regulated to ...

The concept of carbon credit arose out of increasing awareness of the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to combat global warming which was formalized in the Kyoto protocol. In addition to contribution to sustainable development with energy recovery in the form of methane, carbon credits can be claimed by application of advanced anaerobic processes in wastewater treatment for reducing...

Huge amounts of waste biosolids are produced from biological processes as waste water treatment, agriculture and food production. The volatile compounds could be utilised as a source for renewable energy in anaerobic processes. However, the anaerobic degradation is slow so that large fermenters are necessary. By ultrasonic disintegration the rate limiting hydrolysis of volatile solids is substi...

Pre-treatment of rice roots for 2 h in aerobic conditions with two phospholipase C (PLC) antagonists, neomycin and compound 48/80 (C48/80), inhibited accumulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid and increased the loss of K+ in the medium during 3 h of anoxia. The presence of Ca2+ and A23187 (Ca2+ ionophore) nullified the effect of PLC inhibitors. Pre-treatment of rice roots with neomycin and C48/80 ...
