Relative effect of bioaugmentation with electrochemically active and non-active bacteria on bioelectrogenesis in microbial fuel cell.

Bioelectrogenic activity of microbial fuel cells (MFC) augmented with electrochemically active bacteria (EAB, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and non-EAB (Escherichia coli) as biocatalysts was investigated. Anodic microflora augmented with P. aeruginosa (AMFCP) yielded higher electrogenic activity (418 mV; 3.

Comparative bioelectrochemical analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli with anaerobic consortia as anodic biocatalyst for biofuel cell application.

Aims: To study the bioelectrochemical behaviour of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 17702) and Escherichia coli (MTCC 10436) and to assess their potential to act as anodic biocatalyst with the function of anaerobic consortia for microbial (bio) fuel cell (BFC) application.

Methods And Results: Three BFCs (single chamber; open-air cathode; noncatalysed electrodes) were operated simultaneously in acidophilic microenvironments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (BFC(P)) showed higher current density (264 mA m(-2) ) followed by mixed culture (BFC(M); 166 mA m(-2)) and E.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae as anodic biocatalyst for power generation in biofuel cell: influence of redox condition and substrate load.

Bio (microbial) fuel cell (microbial fuel cell) with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as anodic biocatalyst was evaluated in terms of power generation and substrate degradation at three redox conditions (5.0, 6.0 and 7.

Integrated function of microbial fuel cell (MFC) as bio-electrochemical treatment system associated with bioelectricity generation under higher substrate load.

Function of microbial fuel cell (MFC) as bio-electrochemical treatment system in concurrence with power generation was evaluated with composite chemical wastewater at high loading conditions (18.6 gCOD/l; 56.8 gTDS/l).

Evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Soymida febrifuga leaf extracts.

The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of hexane (LH), methanol (LM) and aqueous (LA) extracts of Soymida febrifuga (Maliaceae) leaves, which is a traditional folk medicine in India. No pharmacological evaluation of this plant (except antiplasmodial activity) has been reported to date. Antioxidant activity of different extracts was evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, taking total phenolic content (TPC) as an index.
