Cold adaptation and replicable microbial community development during long-term low-temperature anaerobic digestion treatment of synthetic sewage
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-25)
The development and activity of a cold-adapting microbial community was monitored during low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) treatment of wastewater. Two replicate hybrid anaerobic sludge bed-fixed-film reactors ...
Opportunistic bacteria dominate the soil microbiome response to phenanthrene in a microcosm-based study
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-21)
Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, ...
Standard protocols for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Vibrionaceae isolated from aquatic animals
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2018-07-18)
A review of the relevant literature has shown that it is safe to recommend that the antimicrobial
susceptibility of the species of the Vibrionaceae most commonly isolated from aquatic animals can
be established using ...
Effect of sulfate on low-temperature anaerobic digestion
(Frontiers Media, 2014-07-24)
The effect of sulfate addition on the stability of, and microbial community behavior in, low-temperature anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed-based bioreactors was investigated at 15 degrees C. Efficient bioreactor ...
Antibacterial potential of an antimicrobial agent inspired by peroxidase-catalyzed systems
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-02)
Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global health. Consequently, the development of non-antibiotic based therapies and disinfectants, which avoid induction of resistance, or cross-resistance, is of ...
Linking microbial community structure and function during the acidified anaerobic digestion of grass
(Frontiers Media, 2018-03-21)
Harvesting valuable bioproducts from various renewable feedstocks is necessary for the critical development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Anaerobic digestion is a well-established technology for the conversion of wastewater ...
Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice
(Wiley, 2016-08-24)
The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in ...
Impact of trichloroethylene exposure on the microbial diversity and protein expression in anaerobic granular biomass at 37°C and 15°C
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-09-14)
Granular biomass from a laboratory-scale anaerobic bioreactor trial was analysed to identify changes in microbial community structure and function in response to temperature and trichloroethylene (TCE). Two bioreactors ...
Generation of a panel of high affinity antibodies and development of a biosensor-based immunoassay for the detection of okadaic acid in shellfish
(Elsevier, 2015-07-10)
Okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, DTX-1 and DTX-2, are marine biotoxins associated with diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. Routine monitoring of these toxins relies on the mouse bioassay. However, due to the technical ...
Arsenic in groundwater in south west Ireland: Occurrence, controls, and hydrochemistry
(Frontiers Media, 2018-12-18)
Globally numerous regions have been identified with elevated arsenic within groundwater which can result in potential adverse health risks. In Ireland, a previous national-scale research assessment of groundwater identified ...
