    Abstract: The invention includes a variety of systems that can be used to remove contaminants from a fluidic medium, typically an aqueous medium. In an embodiment, the systems contain treatment zones including a semi-permeable barrier constructed to segregate cultures of microorganisms that metabolize the contaminants from the media. The semi-permeable barriers allow the contaminants to be exchanged between the medium and the culture, however the culture is kept away from the media. With time, the microorganisms consume the contaminants and the medium is cleaned. In some embodiments, the system additionally includes electrodes and uses exoelectrogenic microorganisms to remove contaminants.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for treating multi-component waste streams. In general, systems and methods described herein employ a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a barrier and a filtration component that is fluidically connected to the first and second chambers. A waste stream to be treated will flow into the first chamber for treatment of the carbon-containing waste, then into the filtration component for the separation of the stream into a solid waste fraction and a liquid waste fraction.
