Nicko's aplicability
In order to know how feasible is a system for nickel removal based in a magnetotactic bacteria, it means Nicko, we were talknig with an expert in water bioremediation. The selected expert was Johana Husserl, she is Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Georgia Institute of Techonoly and Ms.C. from Tulane University. At the present time she works as professor at Universidad de los Andes, giving courses of Environmental Engineering like Environmental Chemistry among others. She has worked in water treatment and explosive removal from soil with bacteria.
You can find the audio of the interview (with english subtitles) below:
In brief words, she belive that a nickel removal system would be a very useful tool to solve problems of contaminated water that are common in our country. And the idea of a bacteriaum capable to accumulate a metal is very interesting, even without a special extraction system like the magnetism, which is a plus in our project. </div> </div>
