    Abstract High ammonia concentration in wastewater can hinder methane production rate in anaerobic digestion (AD)-microbial electrosynthesis systems (ADMES). To address this issue, a dual-chamber reactor was fabricated using an anion exchange membrane (AEM) to separate the dark-fermentation (DF) and ADMES process, preventing ammonia migration from the DF chamber to the ADMES chamber. As a result, the DF-ADMES achieved a high methane yield based on chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 0.35 L CH

    Abstract A novel approach was employed to fabricate a biofilm-derived activated carbon (BioAc) electrode on a carbon cloth (Cc) substrate for electrochemical nitrite sensing in water samples. The biofilm/Cc electrode was developed using a bioelectrochemical reactor, featuring a three-electrode system with nutrient media and microbial sources. The resultant biofilm electrode was activated at 450 °C for 2 h to eliminate impurities and enhance porosity. Morphological analysis of the BioAc/Cc electrode revealed a surface characterized by a compact film composed of numerous carbon nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis exhibited broad, highly crystalline peaks, enhancing both the electrode surface area and conductivity. Amperometry tests on the modified BioAc/Cc electrodes demonstrated a detection limit of 0.015 μM, a sensitivity of 1946.54 μA mM

    Abstract Electroautotrophic microbes at biocathodes in microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction with low energy demand, facilitating long-term stable performance through specific and renewable biocatalysts. However, MECs have not yet reached commercialization due to a lack of understanding of the optimal microbial strains and reactor configurations for achieving high performance. Here, we critically analyze the criteria for the inocula selection, with a focus on the effect of hydrogenase activity and microbe-electrode interactions. We also evaluate the impact of the reactor design and key parameters, such as membrane type, composition, and electrode surface area on internal resistance, mass transport, and pH imbalances within MECs. This analysis paves the way for advancements that could propel biocathode-assisted MECs toward scalable hydrogen gas production.

    Abstract Biohythane, a balanced mixture of 10%-30% v/v of hydrogen and 70%-90% v/v of methane, could be the backbone of an all-purpose future energy supply. Recently, bioelectrochemical systems (BES) became a new sensation among environmental biotechnology processes with the potential to sustainably generate biohythane. Therefore, to unleash its full potential for scaling up, researchers are consistently improving microbial metabolic pathways, novel reactors, and electrode designs. This review presents a detailed analysis of recently discovered fundamental mechanisms and science and engineering intervention of different strategies to improve the biohythane composition and production rate from BES. However, several milestones are to be achieved, for instance, improving electrode kinetics using efficient catalysts, engineered microbial communities, and improved reactor configurations, for commercializing this sustainable technology. Thus, a future perspective section is included to recommend novel research lines, mainly focusing on the microbial communities and the efficient electrocatalysts, to enhance reactor performance.

    Abstract Naive T lymphocytes undergo heterogeneous proliferative responses when introduced into lymphopenic hosts, referred to as "homeostatic proliferation" and "spontaneous proliferation." Spontaneous proliferation is a unique process through which the immune system generates memory phenotype cells with increasing T cell receptors repertoire complexity. Here, the mechanisms that initiate and control spontaneous proliferation are discussed.

    Abstract Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an indispensable role in controlling tolerance and immunity against self- and foreign antigens. The failure of Tregs to properly function is the direct cause of systemic and chronic inflammation as well as immune suppression. It is now evident that Tregs are highly heterogeneous populations depending on the surface phenotypes, cytokine profiles, and anatomical locations. Yet, our understanding of the cellular and molecular pathways underlying such heterogeneity is very limited. Furthermore, some Tregs lose the phenotype (and suppressive functions) and instead acquire pathogenicity. Since utilizing Tregs as a tool for immunotherapy is being implemented in many clinical settings, it is of utmost importance to understand the precise mechanisms by which the loss of Treg phenotype (and function) is prevented. In this review, both cellular and molecular factors involved in Treg heterogeneity and stability are discussed.

    Abstract A novel tubular-type photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (PMFC) with algal growth and multiple electrodes in the cathode chamber was operated at various hydraulic retention times (HRTs). When the HRT in the cathode was fixed to 24 h, cell voltage gradually increased as the HRT in the anode was decreased from 24 h to 6 h, and at 6 h, 315 mV of electricity was generated and the dissolved oxygen concentration was 10.31 ± 2.60 mg/L. However, HRT changes in the cathode did not affect cell voltage generation much, although a sharp decrease in cell voltage was observed at 2-h HRT. With wastewater passing through the chambers in series (19.3-h total HRT), the PMFC was able to successfully generate cell voltage and remove nutrients. The maximum COD and phosphorus removal percentages were obtained for an initial COD of 300 mg/L, while the maximum nitrogen removal was obtained for an initial COD of 400 mg/L.
