-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Elsevier, 2005)This survey provides information on sediment toxicity and structural characteristics of the macroinvertebrates and benthic phytoplankton at 10 locations in the Cache la Poudre River after long-term exposure to coal tar ...
-
(Water Reseach Council, 2001-01)Five non-ionic and three anionic surfactants were evaluated using 4'6-diamidino-2-phenylidole (DAPI) staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and spectrophotometry for their efficacy in preventing adhesion and removing ...
-
(Water Research Council, 1999-07)Samples from laboratory-scale activated sludge systems operating under spesific conditions which differ in phosphate-removing capabilities were obtained from the University of Cape Town. The total protein content of samples ...
-
(Water Research Council, 2002-07)Diversity and dynamics of microbial communities have been analysed by culture-dependant methods, which exclude the majority of fastidious microbes due to the selective nature of the media. Molecular methods have been used ...
-
(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. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2006-12)Laboratory experiments provide no general answer to the question of whether zooplankton affects cyanobacteria or are affected by prokaryotes. A cyanobacterium may be grazed upon as small colonies, and the same species, as ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Water Research Council, 1999-01)The diversity and dynamics of microbial communities of phosphorus-removing and non-phosphorus-removing activated sludge systems have mostly been analysed by culture-dependent methods. A more direct method is the isolation ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Water Reseach Council, 2000-01)The impact of biofilms present in water distribution systems on the microbial quality of potable water is reported in this review. The issues covered include the composition of biofilms, factors governing their formation ...
