Identification of nitrifiers in a full-scale biological treatment system using fluorescent in situ hybridization.
(2007-03)Diversity of nitrifying bacterial population was investigated in sludge samples taken from a full-scale biological wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) treating domestic wastewater by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) ... -
Effect of sludge age on the bacterial diversity of bench scale sequencing batch reactors.
(2009-04-15)Sludge age or mean cell residence time (MCRT) plays a crucial role in design and operation of wastewater treatment plants. The change in performance, for example micropollutant removal, associated with changes in MCRT is ... -
Toluene inhibition on an anaerobic reactor sludge in terms of potential activity and composition of acetoclastic methanogens.
(2009-12)The aim of this study was to determine the effect of toluene on an anaerobic sludge taken from a full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor in terms of potential activity and composition of acetoclastic ... -
Plants as river system engineers
(2014-01) -
Monitoring the abundance and the activity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in a full-scale nitrifying activated sludge reactor.
(2015-02)Cell-specific ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) has been suggested to be an indicator of the performance of nitrification reactors and to be used as an operational parameter previously. However, published AOR values change by ... -
Characterization of para-Nitrophenol-Degrading Bacterial Communities in River Water by Using Functional Markers and Stable Isotope Probing.
(2015-10)Microbial degradation is a major determinant of the fate of pollutants in the environment. para-Nitrophenol (PNP) is an EPA-listed priority pollutant with a wide environmental distribution, but little is known about the ... -
SIP metagenomics identifies uncultivated Methylophilaceae as dimethylsulphide degrading bacteria in soil and lake sediment.
(2015-11)Dimethylsulphide (DMS) has an important role in the global sulphur cycle and atmospheric chemistry. Microorganisms using DMS as sole carbon, sulphur or energy source, contribute to the cycling of DMS in a wide variety of ...
