RUSL researchers develop a new growth medium for electrochemically – active bacteria
The researchers in the Department of Biological Sciences (Dr. Eustace Fernando and Ms. Zumaira Nazeer), Faculty of Applied Sciences, Rajarata University have developed a new microbiological growth and isolation medium. This can conveniently change color and selectively allow the growth of so-called “Exo-electrogenic” bacteria. Exo-electrogenic bacterial metabolism is characterized by their ability to transfer metabolic electrons outside of their…
