  1. Methods for Enhancing Production of Beneficial Short- and Medium- Chain Fatty Acids by the Gut Microbiome
    Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which include acetate (C2), propionate (C3) and butyrate (C4) are important, health-benefiting metabolites, produced when microbes in the human colon ferment polysaccharides and dietary fiber. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), such as caproate (C6) and caprylate (C8), have also been shown to provide health benefits and...

  2. Two-Stage Metal Treatment Incorporating Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag and Microbiological Sulfate Reduction
    A consistent environmental challenge presented at mining sites worldwide is the formation of mining-influenced water (MIW). Characterized by alterations in water chemistry due to mining or mineral processing, MIW streams are typically acidic and often contain elevated concentrations of heavy metals and metalloids, which may pose a threat to human health,...

  3. Microbial Remediation of Halogenated Compounds via Microbial Chain Elongation
    ­Chlorinated solvents (e.g., tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and 1,2-cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) are widespread legacy groundwater pollutants. The most common groundwater treatment for bioremediation of PCE and TCE is in situ anaerobic reductive dechlorination by Dehalococcoides mccartyi. Hydrogen (H2) is a crucial electron donor...

  4. Method and System for Microbial Desulfurization and Surface-Activation of Rubber
    Background Crumb tire rubber asphalt is a noise reducing pavement material that is made from asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber from recycled tires and is superior to current materials in terms of durability and service life. Tire disposal to landfills has substantially increased in recent years, but the usage of tire rubber in asphalt or similar...

  5. Controlling Microbiological Processes for In Situ Contaminant Treatment
    ­Groundwater remediation is the process that is used to treat groundwater by removing pollutants. There are different groundwater remediation methods, but they all have the same goal: clean polluted water. One method is bioremediation wherein a biological system is employed for removing environmental pollutants. In situ remediation of subsurface...

  6. Methods to Detect Toxic Chromium (VI) and other Anions
    Hexavalent Chromium is used in industrial processes and is a known toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic pollutant. Widespread contamination and high solubility necessitate a simple method for Cr (VI) determination at parts per billion concentrations. The maximum allowable limit for Cr (VI) in groundwater and drinking water, as set by the World Health Organization,...
