Description
Bioremediation and harvesting electricity from waste organic matter are two environmental technologies that are rapidly evolving as past empirical practices are being supplanted with such scientific approaches as genome-based molecular tools and advanced electrochemical and computational concepts.
Objectives:
Learn how systems biology can be used to understand and predict the microbiology of groundwater bioremediation and harvesting electricity from microbial fuel cells.
Learn about the novel designs that have greatly increased power output and expanded the applications of microbial fuel cells.
Learn how microbial fuel cells can be applied in groundwater bioremediation.
