[{"id":226,"title":"Isolation and characterisation of novel methanogens from corroded oil/gas pipes","sha":"b6dbad8c0ee8b8e7fc02b4644795df10","user_id":null,"state":"published","body":"Methanogens are microorganisms which produces methane as a major product of their energy metabolism in anaerobic conditions. Methanogens are very common in wetlands and produces marsh gas. They are recently discovered to directly feed on electrons from Fe(0). These microorganism respires carbon dioxide and produces methane. However, it is unknown that these methanogens receive electrons from Fe(0). They also helps in corrosion which in a way is directly lethal to humans. \r\nThe implications are remarkable, not only for the prevention of corrosion, but also for extracellular electron transfer processes relevant for many applications such as anaerobic digestion and microbial electrosynthesis for production of valuable chemicals.\r\nHighly corrosive methanogenic strains are not yet discovered but can be isolated and characterised from corroded oil/gas pipes from all over the world using molecular techniques and microbiological experiments along with its characterisation using bio-informatic tools. Initiation of corrosion and its colonisation can be a good subject to work with. The discovery of the promotion of electron uptake from metallic iron can be worthy for human health. Development of new tools against corrosion in corroded oil/gas pipes can be a nobel winning work which may help human health by discouraging microbial attachment and electron retrieval.\r\n","created_at":"2015-09-16T18:58:44.680Z","updated_at":"2015-09-17T07:12:12.108Z","zenodo_id":61237,"doi":"http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.31055","subject":null,"tags":["metanogens","isolation","characterisation","corrosion","iron","electrosynthesis","applications","health"],"vote_count":1,"view_count":1,"score":1.1,"deleted":false,"muted":false,"tweeted":false,"attachment_file_name":null,"attachment_content_type":null,"attachment_file_size":null,"attachment_updated_at":null},{"id":615,"title":"Modified Human Microbiome towards better Health","sha":"3f7760ca8ba7cfaab1e95673d7de30f0","user_id":null,"state":"published","body":"Health, as the complete physical, mental and social well-being, is absolutely the vital profit that someone can attain in his/her life span. On the other hand, health is immensely vulnerable to diseases and sicknesses like deadly cancer. Recent studies have proven that human Microbiome is directly related to the diseases and sicknesses encountered by us (Findley et al., 2016: Elinav et al., 2019). However, pathogenic microbes have already been entered and occupied their places in human Microbiome especially due to anthropogenic activities which impact adversely on the environment. Scientists have found that the Microbiome assembling is happening according to a pattern (Pennisi, 2019). In fact, the environment (soil and free-living) gifts a subset of their Microbiome to plants and algae. Thus, the Herbivores get a subset of Microbiome too from plants and algae. Likewise, the Microbiome assembling happens in the food webs. Interestingly, being the ancestor of all other Microbiomes, soil Microbiome plays a major role. It maintains by soil-plant-microbial network interactions. Therefore, reinstating the degraded networks in the soil leads to an enriched Microbiome consisting of least number of pathogens and plenty of beneficial microbes. For that, microbial ameliorators like BFBF can be used (Alori \u0026 Babalola, 2018: Senaviratne \u0026 Kulasooriya, 2013). Ultimately, it leads to improved human health by altering human Microbiome.
