Use of lyophilized and acclimated digestate dominated by Methanobrevibacter as a start-up inoculum in anaerobic digester led to higher methane production in biochemical methane potential assays Cam, Deniz; Sayin, Sena; Sarman, Oral Zeki; Iren, Erol; İçgen, Bülent (2024-09-01) Transporting wet inoculum for full-scale anaerobic digester (AD) start-up is usually infeasible and costly, especially, for remote locations. To overcome these burdens lyophilized AD inoculum is thought to be used after on...
Discharges of Wastewater Treatment Plants Needed Further Monitoring to Minimize Potential Risk of Entamoeba and Blastocystis for Public Health Onursal, Aslı; İçgen, Bülent (2024-01-01) The protozoan parasites Entamoeba histolytica and Blastocystis hominis are responsible for causing human amebiasis and hominis infections, respectively. These infections are highly prevalent and are often linked to waterbo...
Wastewater treatment plants discharges disseminated more Giardia than Cryptosporidium Onursal, Asli; İçgen, Bülent (2023-02-01) Parasitic protozoaGiardia intestinalisandCryptosporidium parvumare causative agents for giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis, respectively. These infections are mostly associated with waterborne diseases. The discharges from w...
intI1 Type Mobile Genetic Elements Co-selected Antibiotic-Resistant Genes in Untreated Hospital Wastewaters Kayali, Osman; İçgen, Bülent (2021-01-01) Dissemination of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) from hospital wastewaters (HWWs) is facilitated by the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and involves association of ARGs with mobile genetic elements (MGEs). In our previous...
Untreated HWWs Emerged as Hotpots for ARGs Kayali, Osman; İçgen, Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-01) Hospital wastewaters (HWWs) are reported to be hotspots for antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, limited information involves the impact of these effluents on dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes...
Behavior of sulfate-reducing bacteria in single-stage anaerobic digesters pretreated with ozone Tuncay, Sera; Akcakaya, Merve; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2019-10-28) Anaerobic digestion is a solid stabilization process commonly used at both municipal and industrial wastewater and sludge treatment. Anaerobic digesters convert the microbiological cells and other solids generated during t...
Aminoglycoside resistance genes treated by sequencing batch reactor type wastewater treatment plants Tuncay, Sera; Kucukunsal, Serkan; İçgen, Bülent (2018-09-23)
Macrolide resistance disseminated via untreated hospital effluents Kayalı, Osman; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2018-09-07)
Function of conventional wastewater treatment plant on the removal of the aminoglycoside resistance gene Kucukunsal, Serkan; İçgen, Bülent (2018-09-07)
Removal of total and volatile solids in ozone pretreated anaerobic digesters Tuncay, Sera; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2018-06-23) Anaerobic digestion is a sludge stabilization process used for the conversion of organic materials in the sludge into methane rich biogas by anaerobic microorganisms. In order to improve anaerobic digestion, pretreatment m...
