The disclosure provides a method for manufacturing an active substance for inducing self-lysis in microalga cells, including: inoculating a bacterial strain belonging tointo a culturing medium to obtain a bacterial suspension; culturing the bacterial strain belonging toat least to a stationary phase to a condition in which the bacterial strain belonging toaggregates in the bacterial suspension and the bacterial suspension becomes pellucid; and after the bacterial strain belonging toaggregates in the bacterial suspension and the bacterial suspension becomes pellucid, performing a vacuum distillation procedure on the bacterial suspension to obtain an active solution, wherein the active solution contains an active substance for inducing self-lysis in microalga cells.

Method for manufacturing an active substance for inducing self-lysis in microalga cells, active substance obtained therefrom, and method for inducing self-lysis in microalga cells

The disclosure provides a culturing medium for culturing a bacterium of genus, including: a carbon source which is an organic acid, selected from a group consisting of acetate, lactate and butyrate; a nitrogen source selected from a group consisting of ammonium sulfate ((NH)SO), ammonium nitrate (NHNO), ammonium chloride (NHCl) and urea; phosphate; magnesium chloride (MgCl); yeast extract; and trace elements.

The disclosure provides a method for producing extracellular proteins from genus, including: performing a fermentation culturing to a bacteria of genuswith a culturing medium to form a fermented liquid, wherein the composition of the culturing medium includes a carbon source which is an organic acid, selected from a group consisting of acetate, lactate and butyrate; a nitrogen source selected from a group consisting of (NH)SO, NHNO, NHCl and urea; phosphate; carbonate; MgCl; yeast extract; and trace elements, and wherein the gas feeding rate for the fermentation culturing is about 0-0.1 vvm; and after the fermentation culturing is completed, collecting the fermented liquid, wherein the fermented liquid contains extracellular protein secreted from the bacteria of genus

A method for recycling metals is provided by using extracellular proteins excreted by a specific thermophilic bacteria strain,sp. nov., in which the extracellular proteins show excellent metal-ion binding ability, being useful in recycling rare earth metal ions and precious metal ions from geothermal fluids, boiler solutions, industrial wastewater or hard water.

Method for recycling metals

A novel thermophilic bacterium is provided, which has a 16S rDNA sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO. 1. The thermophilic bacterium excretes extracellular proteins having excellent metal-ion binding ability, being useful in the treatment of boiler equipment, pipelines, geothermal wells or industrial wastewater or hard water.

Thermophilic bacterium and uses of extracellular proteins therefrom

Disclosed herein is a process for enhancing anaerobic biohydrogen production, including: adding into a reactor an organic waste containing hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria, a first substrate, and a carrier that permits the hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria to adhere and grow thereon, so as to form a mixture; acclimating the mixture at a first agitation speed ranging from 5 to 60 rpm, so that the hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria adhere to and proliferate on the carrier, followed by the formation of granular biomasses within the acclimated mixture; and feeding a second substrate into the reactor at a second agitation speed ranging from 5 to 60 rpm, so that the content of the granular biomasses is increased while the second substrate is anaerobically fermented by the hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria in the granular biomasses to result in the production of hydrogen.
