Trophic State Drives the Diversity of Protists in a Tropical River (New River, Belize)

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Land use disrupts the ecosystem functioning of freshwater systems and significantly affects trophic state. Consequently, biodiversity is severely affected by changes to the ecosystem.

Titrimetric monitoring of a completely autotrophic nitrogen removal process

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2006
Fully autotrophic nitrogen removal processes, such as the combined SHARON-Anammox process, help to improve the sustainability of wastewater treatment. Successful operation of such a completely autotrophic system is, among others, based on the strict control of the SHARON reactor in order to produce an Anammox-suited influent with a 1:1 ammonium:nitrite

Autotrophic nitrogen removal characteristics of PN-anammox process enhanced by sulfur autotrophic denitrification under mainstream conditions

open access: yesBioresource Technology, 2020
Stabilization of nitrification process and reduction of NO3--N concentration in effluent are the keys to realize mainstream application of partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PN-anammox) process. The sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification (SADN) process was coupled with the PN-anammox in a single reactor to enhance and stabilize the ...

Heterotrophic denitrification vs. autotrophic anammox – quantifying collateral effects on the oceanic carbon cycle [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2010
The conversion of fixed nitrogen to N<sub>2</sub> in suboxic waters is estimated to contribute roughly a third to total oceanic losses of fixed nitrogen and is hence understood to be of major importance to global oceanic production and ...

Growth limiting conditions and denitrification govern extent and frequency of volume detachment of biofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study aims at evaluating the mechanisms of biofilm detachment with regard of the physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilms were developed in Couette–Taylor reactor under controlled hydrodynamic conditions and under different environmental growth ...

The impact of atmospheric dry deposition associated microbes on the southeastern Mediterranean Sea surface water following an intense dust storm

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
This study explores the potential impacts of microbes deposited into the surface seawater of the southeastern Mediterranean Sea (SEMS) along with atmospheric particles on marine autotrophic and heterotrophic production.

Annual plankton community metabolism in estuarine and coastal waters in Perth (Western Australia) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The planktonic metabolic balance that is the balance between gross primary production (GPP) and community respiration (CR) was determined in Matilda Bay (estuarine) and Woodman Point (coastal) in Perth, Western Australia.

Kinetics of autotrophic denitrification process and the impact of sulphur/limestone ratio on the process performance

open access: yesEnvironmental Technology, 2014
Kinetics of sulphur-limestone autotrophic denitrification process in batch assays and the impact of sulphur/limestone ratio on the process performance in long-term operated packed-bed bioreactors were evaluated. The specific nitrate and nitrite reduction rates increased almost linearly with the increasing initial nitrate and nitrite concentrations ...

Future climate scenarios for a coastal productive planktonic food web resulting in microplankton phenology changes and decreased trophic transfer efficiency.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We studied the effects of future climate change scenarios on plankton communities of a Norwegian fjord using a mesocosm approach. After the spring bloom, natural plankton were enclosed and treated in duplicates with inorganic nutrients elevated to pre ...
