Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; Bosch, M. (Elsevier, 1994)Enhanced biological phosphorus removal activated sludge plants often do not remove phosphorus adequately in order to meet legal demands. Currently FeS04 is being added to almost all South African nutrient removal activated ...

Oberholster, Paul Johan; Botha, Anna-Maria; Muller, K.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Academic Journals, 2005-05)Molecular marker analysis is becoming increasingly capable of identifying informative genetic variation. Amplified fragment length polymorphism markers (AFLPs) are among the recent innovations in genetic marker technologies, ...

Nevondo, T.S.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Water Research Council, 1999-04)Water contaminated with microbiological and chemical constituents can cause a variety of diseases. Water intended for human consumption should be safe, palatable and aesthetically pleasing. Water sources have different ...

Coetser, S.E.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Routledge, 2005)Corrosion associated with microorganisms has been recognized for over 50 years and yet the study of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is relatively new. MIC can occur in diverse environments and is not limited ...

Maila, Mphekgo P.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Springer, 2004-12)The biological removal of petroleum products using landfarming has been applied commercially in large scale with relative success. The technology has been widely used due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, ...

Coetser, S.E.; Pulles, W.; Heath, R.G.M.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Springer Verlag, 2006)The production of acid mine drainage (AMD) containing high amounts of sulfate, heavy metals and low pH is of increasing concern. AMD is highly corrosive and results in economic and environmental problems. Organic electron ...

Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; Smith, Z.; Saayman, Gert (Water Research Council, 1999-07)In this study, a water cooling tower was used as a low-rate biofilm reactor for treating municipal wastewater. The performance of the system was evaluated at three different flow rates. The biofilm reactor gave the best ...
-
Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; Westaard, D.; Van Vuuren, S.J. (Elsevier, 2003)Biofouling in pipelines is a function of the inner roughness of the specific piping material that is used in distribution systems and the concomitant biofilm formation. To test the effect of velocity on the growth of ...

Oberholster, Paul Johan; Botha, Anna-Maria; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Blackwell, 2007-06)This paper describes the results of the investigation of a shallow urban lake before, and a second year after, restoration to determine the effects of aeration and bottom-sediment removal on the trophic state and environmental ...

Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; De Bruyn, E.E. (Engela Elizabeth) (Springer, 2001-05)The importance of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in nature has been widely recognized for many years. However, little is known about the ecology of SRB. The problem has been detecting, classifying, and quantifying these ...

Thantsha, Mapitsi Silvester; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Water Research Council, 2006-04)Microbial biofilms are problematic in industrial environments where large areas of submerged surfaces are exposed to relatively high nutrient fluxes, providing niches for the formation of copious surface-associated growth. ...
-
Maila, Mphekgo P.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Springer, 2005-09)In this study, we evaluated the heterotrophic microbial communities colonising stone ballasts at diesel depots. The number of bacteria (both total culturable heterotrophic bacteria and hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria) was ...
-
Maila, Mphekgo P.; Randima, P.; Surridge-Talbot, A.K.J. (Angela Karen Joanna); Dronen, K.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Elsevier, 2005-01)In this study, we evaluated the hydrocarbon removal efficiency and microbial diversity of different soil layers. The soil layers with high counts of recoverable hydrocarbon degrading bacteria had the highest hydrocarbon ...

Momba, M.N.B.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas); Kfir, R. (Rivka), 1951- (Elsevier, 1998)In this study, surface water was used to evaluate the impact of disinfection processes (chlorination, chloramination, ozonation, UV irradiation and hydrogen peroxide) on biofilm formation in potable water distribution ...

Momba, M.N.B.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas); Kfir, R. (Rivka), 1951- (Elsevier, 1999-09)Groundwater was treated with chlorine and chloramine to study the incorporation and survival of Escherichia coli in developing biofllms in laboratory-scale units. Membrane filter and standard spread plate procedure were ...

Maila, Mphekgo P.; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Elsevier, 2002-09)The sensitivity of Lepidium sativum germination to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was investigated in soil(s) artificially and historically contaminated with mixtures of PAH. The level of germination of L. sativum ...
-
Muyima, Ndjoko Yei Osee; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Elsevier, 1995)Immobilization of Acinetobacter cells can provide a method which could possibly be used to explain the mechanism of biological phosphorus removal from AS systems since this may allow the study of pure cultures in their ...

Muyima, Ndjoko Yei Osee; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958- (Water Research Council, 1995-07)The growth and distribution of A. johnsonii cells, immobilised within alginate beads suspended in an aerated activated sludge mixed liquor medium, were assessed by viable cell counts on nutrient agar and scanning electron ...
