Purified Terephthalic Acid Wastewater Treatment Using Modified Two-Stage UASB Bioreactor Systems.

Microbial community dynamics and PTA wastewater degradation performance of sequentially connected two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) bioreactors have been studied for 225 days. The working volume of acidogenic (R1) and methanogenic reactors (R2) have sixfold differences. Thus, the reactors operated under different hydraulic retention time (HRT) conditions, which are preferential for PTA wastewater content.

Bacterial and archeal dynamics of a labscale HYBRID gas fermentation bioreactor fed with CO and H.

16s rDNA-based methods were used in order to identify the dynamics of microbial profiles in a HYBRID gas fermentation bio-methanization reactor. The effects of various H and CO ratios on microbial community were investigated. The HYBRID gas fermentation reactor was composed of granular anaerobic seed and the system fed with only H and CO gases.

Determination of the microbial flora in traditional İzmir Tulum cheeses by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis.

In this study, it was aimed to determine microbial flora members in three traditional Tulum cheeses (C1, C2 and C3) produced in different villages and settlement areas in İzmir, Turkey. For this purpose, culture depended and 16S rRNA based culture independent methods were used. According to the results of culture depended method, spp.

CO utilization via a novel anaerobic bioprocess configuration with simulated gas mixture and real stack gas samples.

CO, which is considered to be one of the major causes of climate change, has reached to critical levels in the atmosphere due to tremendous consumption of fossil fuels all over the world. In this study, anaerobic bioconversion of CO into bio-methane using a novel bioprocess configuration (HYBRID bioreactor) was studied under mesophilic conditions. Varying ratios of H/CO gas mixture and volumetric feeding rates were investigated and no additional organic matter and trace element were needed throughout the study.

Midgut Bacterial Diversity of Wild Populations of Phlebotomus (P.) papatasi, the Vector of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL) in Turkey.

Phlebotomine sand flies are hematophagous insects that harbor bacterial, viral and parasitic agents like Bartonella sp., Phleboviruses and Leishmania spp., respectively.
