  • Uncultivated Microorganisms

    Edited by Slava S. Epstein ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    In 1898, an Austrian microbiologist Heinrich Winterberg made a curious observation: the number of microbial cells in his samples did not match the number of colonies formed on nutrient media (Winterberg 1898). About a decade later, J. Amann qu- tified this mismatch, which turned out to be surprisingly large, with non-growing cells outnumbering the cultivable ones almost 150 times (Amann 1911). ...

  • Algal Biorefineries

    Volume 1: Cultivation of Cells and Products

    Edited by Rakesh Bajpai, Aleš Prokop, Mark Zappi ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Over the past century, the majority of chemical and energy needs of our industrial society has originated from fossilized carbon sources (coal, crude oil, natural gas). Increasingly, there is a realization that utilization of the fossilized carbon sources has adverse environmental consequences in the form of increasing concentration of greenhouse gases. We are also becoming aware of the limited ... Read more

  • Iron Uptake in Bacteria with Emphasis on E. coli and Pseudomonas

    Edited by Ranjan Chakraborty, Volkmar Braun, Klaus Hantke, Pierre Cornelis ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    Iron is essential for the growth of most bacteria because it serves as a cofactor for vital enzymes and for the components of the electron transport chain. Moreover, Iron plays an important role in bacterial pathogenicity; in fact, the iron transport systems in bacteria works as target for designing novel antibiotics. Because iron is not soluble under aerobic conditions, bacteria have had to find ... Read more

    Volume 2: Products and Refinery Design

    Edited by Aleš Prokop, Rakesh K. Bajpai, Mark E. Zappi ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Algae offer potential to produce renewable chemicals and fuels using solar energy and carbon dioxide from atmosphere or in flue gases while simultaneously reducing the generation of greenhouse gases. Since these can be grown on marginal lands with micronutrients and macronutrients often present in waste streams, algae-based chemicals and fuels do not compete with foods. Still large-scale ...
