Abstract Water repellency is an important phenomenon in soil systems and influenced by physical, chemical biological factors. Studies on the influence of bacteria or surface‐attached (biofilms) water are rare. In this study, we investigated hydrophilic hydrophobic wettability. Three different bacteria, Variovorax paradoxus, Bacillus sphaericus α‐ Proteobacterium , were states (vegetative cells spores case ). The isolated from urban soils Berlin Tiergarten Park a sewage field (in...
Control issues in wastewater treatment facilities pertain primarily to aeration control for energy usage and satisfying process demands. A significant issue is the provision of adequate oxygen without excessive its associated cost, despite changing influent conditions. The majority plants United States accomplish only organic matter removal. Increasing regulatory pressure remove nutrients such as nitrogen phosphorus requires more complicated processes, which present optimization issues. In...
Pharmaceuticals are consumed in high amounts and can enter as emerging organic compounds surface waters they only partially retained wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Receiving pharmaceuticals may burden the aquatic environment, designed to be bioactive even at low concentrations. Sediment biofilm populations were analyzed river sediments due exposure of an inflow WWTP effluents. Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was performed 108 sediment samples, which taken from multiple...
Phosphonates such as ethylenediaminetetra (methylenephosphonic acid) (EDTMP) and aminotris (ATMP) are used every day in water treatment processes or household products. Their consumption is still increasing, regardless of the debates on their environmental impact. Here, microbial characterisation determination biodegradation potential selected industrially relevant phosphonates for isolate Delftia sp. UMB14 reported. The opportunistic strain was isolated from a biofilm that derived...
ABSTRACT Iron- and manganese-depositing bacteria occur in many soils all water systems, their biogenic depositions of ochre technical systems may cause severe clogging problems monetary losses. “ Candidatus Viadribacter manganicus” is a small coccoid, iron- bacterium isolated from the Lower Oder Valley National Park, Germany.
Abstract Sewer systems are an integral part of our modern civilization and imperative underground infrastructure asset that society relies on. In Western Europe alone, 92% the resident pollution is connected to sewer systems. This extensive coverage sewerage presents ideal habitation for microorganisms strive. Sewers can be considered continuous flow bioreactors. They always colonized by bacteria, either in a planktonic state traveling along pipe with water or dragged sediment, organized as...
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of betaproteobacterium Ideonella sp. strain A_228. This isolate, obtained from a bog iron ore-containing floodplain area in Germany, provides valuable information about genetic diversity neutrophilic iron-depositing bacteria. The Illumina NextSeq technique was used to strain.
Abstract Aqueous gels based on two high amylose corn starch (HACS) genotypes with different (AM) contents (HYLON V [HACS‐50] and HYLON VII [HACS‐70]) are prepared by gradation of the polymer concentration (6 9% w/w) storage duration (1 14 days). The supermolecular structure wet is investigated means confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), dried gel material examines crystallographically using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) morphologically electron (SEM). In particular CLSM reveals that shows...
ABSTRACT Rheinheimera sp. strain SA_1 is an iron-depositing bacterium for which we report a draft genome sequence. Strain was isolated from iron backwash sludge of waterworks in Germany. The Illumina MiSeq technique used to sequence the strain.
Abstract The evaluation of the ready biodegradation organic substances is usually carried out using standardised OECD test methods 301 (A–F). However, this can become a great challenge for such as aminophosphonates which are chemically imbalanced and do not automatically promote microbial growth in standardized tests. Here, we report on development batch that suitable phosphonates overcomes important obstacles above-mentioned.
Rhodomicrobium sp. strain R_RK_3 is an iron-depositing bacterium from which we report the draft genome. This was isolated ochrous depositions of a mining well pump in Germany. The Illumina NextSeq technique used to sequence genome strain.
The draft genome sequence of a neutrophilic iron-depositing actinobacterial strain, Kineosporia sp. R_H_3, is reported here. Detailed analysis the can elucidate role specific cytochromes for Fe oxidation and how this organism might receive energy from oxidation. To date, second publicly available strain.
Abstract Native potato starch (PS‐N) is enzymatically modified in the granular state using pullulanase (PUL) for purpose of a specific partial molecular degradation polymers. The PUL compound added to aqueous suspension (40%, w/w) and processed. process parameters are varied systematically (enzyme dosage [ENZ] 4/20 mL; pH [pH 4.7/7.3]; hydrolysis temperature [TEMP] 40/50 °C, duration [TIME] 20/120 min) new‐developed heat‐induced enzyme inactivation approach (storage partially dewatered moist...
