Biological Reduction of Selenium Oxyanions in the Presence of Nitrate anions using Anaerobic Microbes by Gaurav Subedi B.Sc., Jacobs University Bremen, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Chemical and Biological Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2016 © Gaurav Subedi, 2016 Abstract Biological selenium reduction has emerged as a viable solution for the removal of toxic selenium from the environment. However, the presence of nitrate hinders selenium reduction by acting as a competitive electron acceptor. The present thesis investigated the use of local mine-impacted sediment as an inoculum for selenium reduction and studied the affect of nitrate on the removal of selenium. Sediment samples, impacted by mining activities, were collected from two vastly different sites of the Elk River Valley. These sediments namely; Goddard Marsh and Mature Tailing Coal, were enriched for selenium reducing bacterial consortium under high selenium and varying nitrate concentrations to put additional selection pressure. Ultimately, two cultures from Goddard Marsh enriched under low and high nitrate condition as well as one culture from Mature Tailing Coal enriched under moderate nitrate condition were used to access the affect of nitrate on selenium reduction using central composite design matrix. The extent of Se reduction was highest in the Goddard Marsh enrichment with no nitrate while enrichment with moderate and high nitrate reduced selenium poorly. ANOVA results from the CCD experiment in Goddard Marsh enrichment with no nitrate indicated no affect of nitrate in Se reduction. Two primer sets targeting the selenate redutase (serA) from Thauera selenatis and nitrite reductase (nirK) from denitrifying population were used to quantify the population of selenium reducing and denitrifying population in the CCD experiment. -

Removal of Soluble Selenium in the Presence of Nitrate from Coal Mining-Influenced Water by Frank Nkansah - Boadu BSc., Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, 2003 MASc., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Chemical and Biological Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2019 © Frank Nkansah - Boadu, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Removal of Soluble Selenium in the Presence of Nitrate from Coal Mining-Influenced Water submitted by Frank Nkansah-Boadu in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Chemical and Biological Engineering Examining Committee: Susan Baldwin, Chemical and Biological Engineering Supervisor Vikramaditya Yadav, Chemical and Biological Engineering Supervisory Committee Member Troy Vassos, Adjunct Professor, Civil Engineering Supervisory Committee Member Anthony Lau, Chemical and Biological Engineering University Examiner Scott Dunbar, Mining Engineering University Examiner ii Abstract Biological treatment to remove dissolved selenium from mining-influenced water (MIW) is inhibited by co-contaminants, especially nitrate. It was hypothesized that selenium reducing microorganisms can be obtained from native mine bacteria at sites affected by MIW due to the selection pressure from elevated selenium concentrations at those sites. Enrichment of these microorganisms and testing of their capacity to remove dissolved selenium from actual coal MIW was the objective of this dissertation. Fifteen sediments were collected from eleven different vegetated or non-vegetated seepage collection ponds and one non-impacted natural wetland. -

A. D, Grimont and E. Ageron, Res. Microbiol. 140459-465, 1989). A reassessment of the biochemical properties confirms that they are synonymous. We believe that the priority of E. cancerogenus should be maintained in diagnostic and clinical microbiology even if the epithet could be misunderstood in a clinical setting.

Rosendale Received: 19 April 2018 / Revised: 7 January 2019 / Accepted: 19 January 2019 / Published online: 6 February 2019 © International Society for Microbial Ecology 2019 Abstract Pectin is abundant in modern day diets, as it comprises the middle lamellae and one-third of the dry carbohydrate weight of fruit and vegetable cell walls. Currently there is no specialized model organism for studying pectin fermentation in the human colon, as our collective understanding is informed by versatile glycan-degrading bacteria rather than by specialist pectin degraders. Here we show that the genome of Monoglobus pectinilyticus possesses a highly specialized glycobiome for pectin degradation, unique amongst Firmicutes known to be in the human gut. Its genome encodes a simple set of metabolic pathways relevant to pectin sugar utilization, and its predicted glycobiome comprises an unusual distribution of carbohydrate- 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: active enzymes (CAZymes) with numerous extracellular methyl/acetyl esterases and pectate lyases. We predict the M. pectinilyticus degradative process is facilitated by cell-surface S-layer homology (SLH) domain-containing proteins, which proteomics analysis shows are differentially expressed in response to pectin. Some of these abundant cell surface proteins of M. -

Shape Dependent Physical Mutilation and Lethal Effects of Silver
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Shape dependent physical mutilation and lethal efects of silver nanoparticles on bacteria Received: 1 February 2017 Debashish Acharya1, K. Malabika Singha2, Piyush Pandey2, Bidhan Mohanta1, Jina Rajkumari2 Accepted: 14 December 2017 & L. Paikhomba Singha2 Published: xx xx xxxx In this report, spherical silver nanoparticle (AgNP-sp) and rod-shaped silver nanoparticle (AgNR) were prepared by chemical reduction method and their antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria had been evaluated for their efciency. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were conducted to study the antibacterial properties, and substantiated with killing kinetics of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The study revealed that both AgNP-sp and AgNRs are good antibacterial candidates. Bacterial sensitivity to nanoparticles (NPs) was found to vary depending on microbial species. Disc difusion studies revealed the greater efectiveness of AgNP-sp and AgNR against Klebsiella pneumoniae AWD5 at the doses of 249 and 392 µg. The dose dependent activities of prepared NPs were also observed on the batch studies of disc difusion and MIC with various strains. The optical and morphological structures of NPs were analyzed by UV-visible, XRD, FE-SEM and TEM. Further, FESEM of bacterial culture treated with AgNPs confrmed antibacterial activity of NPs by showing rupture of bacterial cell wall. Also, the genome of test organism was found to have CusCFBA and CusRS operons. The killing kinetics confrmed that the death rate of K. pneumoniae was higher against AgNP-sp as compared to AgNR. Te metal nanoparticles such as silver, gold are becoming indispensable in various felds because of their vast applications against various diseases and environmental applications. -

ISBN: 978-90-8504-663-9 Abstract The human gastrointestinal tract is densely populated by hundreds of microbial (primarily bacterial, but also archaeal and fungal) species that are collectively named the microbiota. This microbiota performs various functions and contributes significantly to the digestion and the health of the host. It has previously been noted that the diversity of the gastrointestinal microbiota is disturbed in relation to several intestinal and not intestine related diseases. However, accurate and detailed defining of such disturbances is hampered by the fact that the diversity of this ecosystem is still not fully described, primarily because of its extreme complexity, and high inter-individual variability.
