Biotransformation is the most important process removing manmade chemicals from environment, yet mechanisms governing this essential ecosystem function are underexplored. To understand these mechanisms, we conducted experiments in flow-through systems, by colonizing stream biofilms under different conditions of mixing river water with treated (and ultrafiltered) wastewater. We performed biotransformation those biofilms, using a set 75 micropollutants, and could disentangle potential...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play an important role in retaining organic matter and nutrients but to a lesser extent micropollutants.Therefore, treated wastewater is recognized as major source of multiple stressors, including complex mixtures micropollutants.These can potentially affect microbial communities the receiving water bodies ecological functions they provide.In this study, we evaluated flow-through channels consequences exposure mixture stream different percentages urban...
Effluents of wastewater treatment plants can impact microbial communities in the receiving streams. However, little is known about role microorganisms as opposed to other constituents, such nutrients and micropollutants. We aimed therefore at determining on diversity function periphyton, key used a flow-through channel system grow periphyton upon exposure mixture stream water unfiltered or ultra-filtered wastewater. Impacts were assessed biomass, activities tolerance micropollutants, well...
Cyanobacterial blooms require monitoring, as they pose a threat to ecosystems and human health, especially by the release of toxins. Along with widely reported microcystins, cyanobacteria coproduce other bioactive metabolites; however, information about their dynamics in surface waters is sparse. We investigated across full bloom successions throughout five-year lake monitoring campaign (Greifensee, Switzerland) spanning 150 sampling dates. conducted extensive suspect screening...
Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wild populations can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well environmental host-associated microbial communities. Although host-microbiome interactions be determinant host fitness, few studies consider the joint responses hosts their microbiomes to anthropogenic changes. In freshwater ecosystems, wastewater widespread stressor that represents multifarious perturbation. Here, we experimentally tested impact...
Abstract Wastewater treatment plant effluents can impact microbial communities in receiving streams. However, little is known about the role of microorganisms wastewater as opposed to other constituents, such nutrients and micropollutants. We aimed therefore at determining on diversity function periphyton, key Periphyton was grown flow-through channels that were continuously alimented with a mixture stream water unfiltered or ultra-filtered wastewater. Impacts assessed periphyton biomass,...
