Analyzing the trophic link between the mesopelagic microbial loop and zooplankton from observed depth profiles of bacteria and protozoa [PDF]
It is widely recognized that organic carbon exported to the ocean aphotic layer is significantly consumed by heterotrophic organisms such as bacteria and zooplankton in the mesopelagic layer.

Nitrite Production by Heterotrophic Bacteria [PDF]
SUMMARY : Heterotrophic bacteria were studied which produced nitrite in the presence of ammonia and in the absence of nitrate. A soil extract medium was prepared which allowed good growth as well as nitrite production in the absence of nitrate. Quantitative data are recorded showing that ammonia decreases as nitrite accumulates when four different ...

Assessment of landfill leachate biodegradability and treatability by means of allochthonous and autochthonous biomasses [PDF]
The biodegradability and treatability of a young (3 years old) municipal landfill leachate was evaluated by means of chemical oxygen demand (COD) fractionation tests, based on respirometric techniques.

Heterotrophic Activity of Deep-Sea Sediment Bacteria [PDF]
Sediment samples, containing mixed microbial populations that were decompressed during retrieval from 7,750 and 8,130 m in the Puerto Rican Trench, were recompressed and incubated at the approximate in situ temperature (3 C) and pressure (775 or 815 atm) in the presence of 14 C-labeled amino acids.

H2S biotreatment with sulfide-oxidizing heterotrophic bacteria. [PDF]
Many industrial activities produce H2S, which is toxic at high levels and odorous at even very low levels. Chemolithotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are often used in its remediation. Recently, we have reported that many heterotrophic bacteria can use sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase and persulfide dioxygenase to oxidize H2S to thiosulfate and sulfite.

A survey of heterotrophic bacteria and coliforms in the water of old and new distribution networks [PDF]
Controlling the microbiological quality of water is important for its uses. Microbiological requirements of drinking water ensure the absence of coliforms, but may indicate the potential presence of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms and viruses
