Comparative analysis of current generation capacity of Escherichia Coli and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa isolated from wound, urine and water samples Department:Microbiology By: SIRJOSEPH Project ID: 8960 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦5000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe increasing global interest in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as sustainable energy alternatives has intensified the search for efficient electrogenic microorganisms capable of generating electricity from organic substrates. While classical electrogens like Geobacter and Shewanella have been extensively studied, commonly occurring and clinically relevant bacteria like Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa remain underexplored for their electrogenic potential. This study aimed at analyzing and comparing the current generation potential of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from wounds, urine and water. The method employed in this study includes the construction of the MFC using simple materials, isolation and identification of the test organisms, inoculation of the MFC with the test organisms, and voltage and current readings using a multimeter. The comparison across all samples for the period of seven days recorded that urine-derived isolates of both Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa produced the highest voltage and current outputs, followed by wound isolates, with water isolates showing the least. Both current and voltage across all samples and isolates dropped from day six to day seven. The study recommended that more organisms from urine samples should be isolated and harnessed for voltage and current generation capacity. Isolates from water and wounds should be adequately supplemented with sufficient nutrients for more energy generation. The activity of the Microbial Fuel cells should be closely monitored for nutrient depletion to enhance steady voltage and current generation....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
