A lab that explores wastewater treatment and groundwater remediation using microorganisms from aquatic environments.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on environmental remediation with the power of aquatic microorganisms.
The Water Environment Microbial Ecology Engineering Lab studies environmental remediation using microorganisms that live in aquatic environments.
While viewing problems on a global scale, the lab makes a point of working on solutions to concrete technical challenges in its research themes.
In particular, it aims to establish environmental remediation technologies that use microorganisms that grow in oxygen-free environments.
The two pillars of its research are wastewater treatment using microbial fuel cells and groundwater remediation by microorganisms that respire organohalides.
Key terms
- Microbial fuel cell
- A fuel cell that generates electricity by having microorganisms pass electrons to an electrode instead of to oxygen.
- Anaerobic environment
- An environment without oxygen. Many microorganisms live there using other substances in place of oxygen.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to conserve and control water environments, from urban wastewater to bays and the open ocean, so that they remain in a stable and healthy state. To that end, it works to establish environmental remediation technologies that use microorganisms growing in anaerobic, oxygen-free environments.
*Illustrative imageMaking wastewater treatment energy self-sufficient
The lab works toward energy self-sufficient wastewater treatment using microbial fuel cells, which collect electrons to an electrode in place of oxygen. It makes use of the mechanism by which microorganisms pass electrons to an electrode instead of to oxygen.
