• Enhancing fermentative hydrogen production with the removal of volatile fatty acids by electrodialysis 

  Wei, Pengfei; Xia, Ao; Liao, Qiang; Sun, Chihe; Huang, Yun; Fu, Qian; Zhu, Xun; Lin, Richen (Elsevier, 2018-05-08)

  A three-chamber electrodialysis bioreactor comprising fermentation, cathode and anode chambers was proposed to remove in situ volatile fatty acids during hydrogen fermentation. The electrodialysis voltage of 4 V resulted ...
• Development of an incoherent broad-band cavity-enhanced aerosol extinction spectrometer and its application to measurement of aerosol optical hygroscopicity 

  Zhao, Weixiong; Xu, Xuezhe; Fang, Bo; Zhang, Qilei; Qian, Xiaodong; Wang, Shuo; Liu, Pan; Zhang, Weijun; Wang, Zhenzhu; Liu, Dong; Huang, Yinbo; Venables, Dean S.; Chen, Weidong (Optical Society of America, 2017-02-02)

  We report on the development of a blue light-emitting-diode-based incoherent broad-band cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (IBBCEAS) instrument for the measurement of the aerosol extinction coefficient at 𝜆=461  nm. ...
• Evaluation of dairy processing wastewater biotreatment in an IASBR system: aeration rate impacts on performance and microbial ecology 

  Gil-Pulido, Beatriz; Tarpey, Emma; Almeida, Eduardo L.; Finnegan, William; Zhan, Xinmin; Dobson, Alan D. W.; O'Leary, Niall (Elsevier B.V., 2018-06-05)

  Dairy processing generates large volumes of wastewater that require extensive nutrient remediation prior to discharge. Significant commercial opportunities exist therefore for cost-effective biotechnologies capable of ...
• Polymorphisms in the LAC12 gene explain lactose utilisation variability in Kluyveromyces marxianus strains 

  Varela, Javier A.; Montini, Noemi; Scully, Damhan; Van der Ploeg, Ralph; Oreb, Mislav; Boles, Eckhard; Hirota, Junya; Akada, Rinji; Hoshida, Hisashi; Morrissey, John P. (Oxford University Press on behalf of Federation of European Microbiological Societies, 2017-04-18)

  Kluyveromyces marxianus is a safe yeast used in the food and biotechnology sectors. One of the important traits that sets it apart from the familiar yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is its capacity to grow using lactose ...
• Improved efficiency of anaerobic digestion through direct interspecies electron transfer at mesophilic and thermophilic temperature ranges 

  Lin, Richen; Cheng, Jun; Ding, Lingkan; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2018-05-30)

  Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in microbial communities plays a significant role in improving efficiency of biomethane production from anaerobic digestion. In this study, the impacts of conductive graphene ...
