The influence of different inoculum pretreatments (pH and temperature shocks) on mesophilic (37 °C) and thermophilic (55 °C) dark fermentative H2 production from xylose (50 mM) and, for the first time, on the composition of the active microbial community was evaluated. At 37 °C, an acidic shock (pH 3, 24 h) resulted in the highest yield of 0.8 mol H2 mol−1 xylose. The H2 and butyrate yield correlated with the relative abundance of Clostridiaceae in the mesophilic active microbial community, whereas Lactobacillaceae ...

A mesophilic (37 °C) and a thermophilic (55 °C) two-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) were studied and compared for their power production from xylose and the microbial communities involved. The anode-attached, membrane-attached, and planktonic microbial communities, and their respective active subpopulations, were determined by next generation sequencing (Illumina MiSeq), based on the presence and expression of the 16S rRNA gene.

This study evaluates the use of non-pretreated thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) wastewater as a potential substrate for hydrogen production by dark fermentation. Batch incubations were conducted in a temperature gradient incubator at temperatures ranging from 37 to 80 °C, using an inoculum from a thermophilic, xylose-fed, hydrogen-producing fluidised bed reactor. The aim was to assess the short-term response of the microbial communities to the different temperatures with respect to both hydrogen yield ...

Dark fermentative biohydrogen production in a thermophilic, xylose-fed (50 mM) fluidised bed reactor (FBR) was evaluated in the temperature range 55–70 °C with 5-degree increments and compared with a mesophilic FBR operated constantly at 37 °C. A significantly higher (p = 0.05) H2 yield was obtained in the thermophilic FBR, which stabilised at about 1.2 mol H2 mol−1 xylose (36% of the theoretical maximum) at 55 and 70 °C, and at 0.8 mol H2 mol−1 xylose at 60 and 65 °C, compared to the mesophilic FBR (0.5 mol ...

This letter presents a planning system for autonomous driving among many pedestrians. A key ingredient of our approach is Pedestrian Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance, a pedestrian motion prediction model that accounts for both a pedestrian's global navigation intention and local interactions with the vehicle and other pedestrians. Unfortunately, the autonomous vehicle does not know the pedestrians' intentions a priori and requires a planning algorithm that hedges against the uncertainty in ...

The hydrolysis of elemental sulfur (S0) coupled to S0-based denitrification and denitritation was investigated in batch bioassays by microbiological and modeling approaches. In the denitrification experiments, the highest obtained NO3−-N removal rate was 20.9 mg/l·d. In the experiments with the biomass enriched on NO2−, a NO2−-N removal rate of 10.7 mg/l·d was achieved even at a NO2−-N concentration as high as 240 mg/l. The Helicobacteraceae family was only observed in the biofilm attached onto the ...

Iron sulfide minerals are abundant on Earth and are often treated as mine wastes. Thus, economically beneficial use of iron sulfides is of great significance, and one option is to use iron sulfide minerals to develop functional materials for wastewater treatment. In this study, nanostructured pyrrhotite (NPyr), which was manufactured by calcining natural pyrite, was used as the biofilm substratum in pyrrhotite autotrophic denitrification biofilters (PADBs). Two identical laboratory-scale biofilters ( ...

ABSTRACT The feasibility of NO 3 − removal by the synergistic action of a prevailing denitrifying anoxic methane oxidising (DAMO), and nitrate‐reducing and sulfide‐oxidising bacterial (NR‐SOB) consortium, using CH 4 and H 2 S from biogas as electron donors in a biotrickling filter was investigated. The influence of NO 3 − concentration on N 2 O production during this process was also evaluated. The results showed that NO 3 − was removed at rates up to 2.8 g m reactor −3 h −1 using CH 4 as electron donor. ...

Lascaux Cave in France contains valuable Palaeolithic paintings. The importance of the paintings, one of the finest examples of European rock art paintings, was recognized shortly after their discovery in 1940. In the 60’s of the past century the cave received a huge number of visitors and suffered a microbial crisis due to the impact of massive tourism and the previous adaptation works carried out to facilitate visits. In 1963, the cave was closed due to the damage produced by visitors’ breath, ...

The walls and ceiling of Altamira Cave, northern Spain, are coated with different coloured spots (yellow, white and grey). Electron microscopy revealed that the grey spots are composed of bacteria and bioinduced CaCO(3) crystals. The morphology of the spots revealed a dense network of microorganisms organized in well-defined radial and dendritic divergent branches from the central area towards the exterior of the spot, which is coated with overlying spheroidal elements of CaCO(3) and CaCO(3) nest- ...
