| dc.description.abstract | On this thesis, a synthetic human urine formulation alike real urine and that can be ideal for <em>P. vulgaris</em> growth is identified. Additionally, urease activity from robust <em>P. vulgaris </em>is assessed electrochemically by measuring ammonia oxidation currents from synthetic human urine cultures via cyclic voltammetry. The results of this research will be fundamental for future experiments leading to the continuous growth of <em>P. vulgaris</em> and urease activity in real human urine. | en_US |
