Abstract: The disclosed technology proposes a method of enhanced single-cell protein production from vegetable waste using yeast co-culture. A method of Single Cell Protein (SCP) production including co-culturing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida tropicalis, pretreating vegetable waste, and supplementing the vegetable waste with a nutrient supplement.

Abstract: Antimicrobial agents and corrosion inhibitors are widely used as biocides in the oil and gas industry to disinfect the water and inhibit excessive biofilm formation and microbial induced corrosion (MIC) caused mainly by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). However, traditional biocides may induce bacterial resistance and/or be detrimental to environment by forming harmful disinfection byproducts. A chitosan-based nanocomposite is successfully implemented as a novel green biocide for treatment of water, the inhibition of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and reduction of biocorrosion on SS400 carbon steel.

Abstract: The antimicrobial agent includes at least one two-dimensional metal carbide layer. The two-dimensional metal carbide has the formula Tin+1CnTx, where T represents a terminal functional group and x represents the number of terminal functional groups. The two-dimensional metal carbide is preferably Ti3C2Tx. The terminating group may be oxygen, hydroxide (OH), fluorine or combinations thereof. The antimicrobial agent may be used as a two-dimensional metal carbide antimicrobial membrane (10) or filter for removal of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli and B. subtilis. A stack of two-dimensional metal carbide layers (14) may be supported on a polymer filter substrate (12), such as a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) supporting substrate.
