Bruce Rittmann, the Director of the Center for Environmental Biotechnology at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State, focuses his efforts on reclaiming contaminated water and producing renewable energy using microbes. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2004 and credited with pioneering development of biofilm fundamentals and contributing to their widespread use in the bioremediation of contaminated ecosystems. His research combines many disciplines of science, including engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, geochemistry and microbial ecology. Formerly with Northwestern University, Rittmann is also a leader in the development of the Membrane Biofilm Reactor, an approach that uses bacteria to destroy pollutants in water. The Membrane Biofilm Reactor is especially effective for removing perchlorate from drinking water, and it is being launched commercially. In this podcast, I talk with Dr. Rittmann about the biofilm reactor process, the electricity hiding in our wastewater, and how we may some day grow fuel on the roofs of buildings. ]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:33:40 -0400 MTS6 - Bruce Rittmann - Microbes, Waste & Renewable Energy 11764692 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/mts5-brett-finlay-e-coli-and-the-human-gut/11764692/

Brett Finlay is a professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories, and the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Microbiology and Immunology at the University of British Columbia. His research program focuses on E. coli, how it interacts with the cells of the human gut, and mouse models of E. coli-like infections. Dr. Finlay will speak at the conference on Beneficial Microbes in San Diego this October, where he ll describe the results of some of his latest research, which examines how E. coli infections effect the microbes that live in our guts. Sadly, outbreaks of Escherichia coli infections in this country are common just this summer a huge E. coli outbreak in Oklahoma sickened nearly 300 people and sent 67 of them to the hospital. Clearly, in an outbreak, not everyone is effected equally. When lots of people are exposed to E. coli, why do some of those people walk away unharmed while others wind up in the I.C.U.? Dr. Finlay would say part of the answer, at least, probably lies in which microbes live in our intestine. In this podcast, I talked with Dr. Finlay about why we have so many different kinds of microbes in our guts, what happens to them when E. coli strikes, and why we have a long way to go before probiotics offer help and not just hope. ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:09:03 -0400 MTS5 - Brett Finlay - E.coli and the Human Gut 11673727 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/mts4-david-relman-the-human-microbiome/11673727/

David Relman is a Professor of Medicine and of Microbiology the microbial communities of bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that thrive on and in the human body. He ll be speaking at ASM s conference on Beneficial Microbes in San Diego this October, where he ll talk about our personal microbial ecosystems, how far we ve come in research and how far we have to go. Since Louis Pasteur first deduced that microbes are to blame for infectious disease, doctors and scientists alike have mostly seen infection as warfare between a pathogen and the human body. Dr. Relman sees things a little differently. To him, the complex communities of microbes that line our skin, mouths, intestines, and other orifices (ahem) are also involved in this battle, interacting with pathogens and with our bodies, and these interactions help determine how a fracas plays out. In this interview, I asked Dr. Relman about our personal ecosystems of microbes, whether we ll ever be able to understand and predict what these communities do, and about the sometimes distressing effects of oral antibiotics on our guts. We also talked about whether being MTV s Rock Doctor back in the 1990 s had an impact on his other professional pursuits. ]]> Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:19:58 -0400 MTS4 - David Relman - The Human Microbiome 11678788 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/this-week-in-science-september-23-2008/11678788/

Since the introduction of MSX and Dermo in the 1950’s, two infectious diseases that played a large role in the decline the Chesapeake Bay’s oyster population, several oyster hatcheries along the Eastern seaboard are working with scientists across many fields to develop innovative restoration programs. One idea is to introduce a non-native oyster from China called Crassostrea ariakensis. In this video podcast, MicrobeWorld talks about current research underway with C. ariakensis, the potential risk of new diseases that could affect the Bay’s ecology and/or human health, the attitudes of Maryland’s watermen toward the oysters possible introduction, and the role of local, state and federal policy. Special thanks goes out to the DC Science Writers Association, the Marian Koshland Science Museum and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s Horn Point Laboratory for helping with the logistics and planning of the shoot.
