Microbial fuel cells to monitor natural attenuation around groundwater plumes.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

School of Natural and Built Environment, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT7 1NN, UK.

This research presents a straightforward and economically efficient design for a microbial fuel cell (MFC) that can be conveniently integrated into a borehole to monitor natural attenuation in groundwater. The design employs conventional, transparent, and reusable PVC bailers with graphite tape and granular activated carbon to create high surface area electrodes. These electrodes are connected across redox environments in nested boreholes through a wire and variable resistor setup.

We have previously reported that high-alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the gut can cause endo-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we discover that 91.2% of Kpn isolates from pulmonary disease samples also produce excess ethanol, which may be associated with respiratory disease severity.

Background: Directed by the enzyme pair PINK1 and PRKN, mitophagy is a crucial mitochondrial quality control mechanism that selectively decorates damaged mitochondria with phosphorylated ubiquitin (pS65-Ub), facilitating their lysosomal degradation. The dynamic pS65-Ub signal accumulates upon enhanced activation from increased mitochondrial damage or upon reduced autophagic-lysosomal flux. Previous studies including ours demonstrated altered mitophagy and elevated pS65-Ub levels in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease brains that also independently associated with α-synuclein, tau, or amyloid pathology.

Background: The brain is a potential target for aluminium toxicity as it induces oxidative stress, strategies, rich in polyphenolic compound, containing flavonoid and possessing antioxidant property, found in natural plant products, to attenuate aluminium-induced impairments could provide a potential therapeutic intervention and protection for aluminium neurotoxicity.

Method: Forty adult rats weighing between 160 - 165g was used. The rats were divided into four groups (n = 10).

A Caucasian woman in her twenties having asymptomatic papules on the hands for the past 6 months was referred by rheumatology for a skin biopsy. The patient had presented to rheumatologist for arthralgia. On physical examination, multiple, dull red, 2-5-mm papules were observed on her dorsal fingers, with most in the periungual regions.
