Abstract:

Fish faeces are a crucial component of solid wastes from cage culture systems. In order to investigate the environmental impacts of faeces from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), certain biophysical characteristics during faecal sinking at three temperatures (10, 20 and 30 °C for winter, spring-autumn and summer conditions, respectively) were assessed in the present study. Settling velocities of faeces from channel catfish (1.72–13.33 cm/s) and bighead carp (4.16–13.83 cm/s) accelerated with an increase in water temperature. For channel catfish faece

Abstract:

On-site sanitation facilities contribute to the majority of toilet facilities in developing countries as full waterborne sanitation is not feasible or affordable. The characteristics of faecal sludge vary greatly between different locations and types of onsite sanitation facilities and at the same time their understanding is crucial for improvement of the existing faecal sludge management services. The Pollution Research Group (PRG), within the School of Chemical Engineering in the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal have been focussing on the analysis of faecal sludge from different on-site sanitati

In total, 194 faecal sludge samples collected during containment unit emptying were analysed for physicochemical parameters.

AbstractOatmeal porridge has been consumed for centuries and has several health benefits. We aimed to investigate the effect of oatmeal porridge on gut microflora functions. A total of ten healthy subjects ingested 60 g oatmeal porridge daily for 1 week. The following microflora-associated characteristics were assessed before and after the intervention: intestinal gas production following lactulose ingestion, faecal excretion of SCFA and faecal levels of urease andβ-galactosidase. In addition, rectal levels of PGE2were measured. Microbial fermentation as evaluated by intestinal gas production

Abstract:

With environmental concerns on the rise, clam processing plants in New Brunswick are being asked to dispose of waste shells in an environmental friendly manner. A previous study on clam processing wastes (CPW) showed their potential as an agricultural liming agent. However, CPW must meet provincial (e.g., New Brunswick and Québec) and national (e.g., Canada and United States of America) standards for the utilization of wastes as soil additives, particularly with regard to heavy metal and faecal coliform contamination, before they may be spread on agricultural lands.

These systems, including solid–liquid separation, anaerobic digestion, dewatering, phytofiltration, and composting produce, treated sludge with variable characteristics. However, application-specific characterisation of treated sludge from these systems remains limited, hindering evidence-based agricultural application.

This study explores an innovative and cost-effective approach for isolating bio-crude oil from faecal sludge through a process of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). Faecal sludge, a significant byproduct of wastewater treatment, represents a rich source of organic material with potential energy recovery benefits. Hydrothermal liquefaction involves heating the sludge under high pressure, converting it into a bio-crude product that can be refined into useful fuels and chemicals. The objective of this study was to establish a reliable method for isolating bio-crude from faecal sludge while minimizi

For food preservation and water treatment, the plant must have antimicrobial properties which are biocidal. For this research, extracts were obtained from sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds. The extracts were assessed for the presence of antimicrobial properties against three groups of bacteria, including faecal coliforms, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Abstract:

SummaryPolymyxin E is frequently used as an oral drug for flora suppression of the gastrointestinal canal. The suppression effect is dose dependent because polymyxin E is moderately inactivated by faecal and food compounds. Three oral polymyxin E doses (150, 300, 600 mg daily) were given to six volunteers for 6 days. The Enterobacteriaceae suppression effect was compared by means of the suppression index i.e. ratio of total number of faecal samples free of Enterobacteriaceae to the total number of faecal samples. The impact on the indigenous (mostly anaerobic) flora was measured in four ways:

Abstract:

Butyrate is an important substrate for maintenance of colonic health and oligofructose fermentation by human faecal bacteria can increase butyrate production in vitro. However, oligofructose appears to be fermented by mainly acetate and lactate-producing bacteria rather than butyrate-producing bacteria. Isotope labelling studies using [U-13C6]glucose were used to show that 13C2 and 13C4 were the major labelled butyrate species produced from glucose fermentation, via [13C2]acetate–acetyl CoA as intermediate. Bacterial interconversion reactions were quantified and acetate conversion to butyrate

Mouse hepatitis virus A59 (MHV), Reo 3 virus and Theiler GD VII virus were added to the caecal contents of 'normal' mice and following dilution, with or without subsequent culturing, given to germ-free mice. Four weeks later antibody titres against these and other viruses were determined. MHV and Theiler CD VII virus survived dilution but were eliminated during culturing. Reo-virus survived the 10-1 dilution-culture step. All dilutio
