In this study, the effects of increasing copper (Cu) concentrations on denitrification pathway and diversity a denitrifier community gene expression were evaluated in intertidal sandy sediments Douro River estuary (north-west Portugal). The results demonstrated that sediment rates highly affected by Cu; almost complete inhibition (85%) process was observed amended with 60 μg Cu g(-1) wet wt sediment. Moreover, addition stimulated accumulation both N(2)O NO(2)(-) inhibited rate NO(3)(-)...
Aims: To investigate the survival of cultivable bacteria in tropical Bangpakong estuary (Eastern Thailand) under different salinities and light conditions. Methods Results: Dark microcosm experiments using membrane diffusion chambers were carried out three experimental conditions, namely (i) low salinity, (ii) progressive mixing with brackish water (iii) fast high salinity spiked raw urban sewage. Faecal coliforms declined faster than faecal enterococci, as shown by T90 values ranging from...
