Abstract: The present invention provides advanced livestock wastewater treatment systems, devices and methods for simultaneous removal of nitrate (nitrite) from treated wastewater at cathode chamber and of organics, suspended solids and malodor (caused by volatile fatty acids) from raw wastewater at anode chamber using anaerobic bioelectrochemical system (BES). The present invention provides a device comprising at least one anode chamber equipped inside with at least one anode, and at least one cathode chamber equipped inside with at least one cathode, wherein the anode chamber is attached to the cathode chamber via separator in order to transport anions or cations between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample that comprises nucleic acid molecules of higher biological complexity than that of amplified nucleic acid molecules in a complex environment containing numerous non-nucleic acid components. In particular, the present invention provides methods and probes for isolating DNA with detergents and detecting a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a complex sample that comprises numerous non-nucleic acid components and nucleic acid molecules of higher biological complexity than that of amplified nucleic acid molecules.
