1. 16. Characterization of Bacterial Biofilms for Wastewater Treatment

   Författare :Sofia Andersson; Gunnel Dalhammar; Bo Mattiasson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofilm; extracellular polymeric substances; exopolysaccharides; interspecies interactions; wastewater treatment; denitrification; phosphorus removal; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Research performed at the Division of Environmental Microbiology has over the last years resulted in the isolation of possible bacterial key-organisms with efficient nutrient removal properties (Comamonas denitrificans, Brachymonas denitrificans, Aeromonas hydrophila). Effective use of these organisms for enhanced nutrient removal in wastewater treatment applications requires the strains to be retained, to proliferate and to maintain biological activity within theprocess.

3. 17. Mechanisms structuring the pelagic microbial food web : Importance of resource and predation

   Författare :Kristina Samuelsson; Agneta Andersson; Christiane Lancelot; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; pelagic microbial food web; bacteria; flagellates; ciliates; phytoplankton; mixotrophy; nutrient status; predation limitation; resource limitation; Baltic Sea; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Temporal and spatial variations of pelagic microorganisms in the northern Baltic Sea were studied, as well as factors influencing their abundance and growth rates. Three main questions were asked 1) How does increased productivity influence the structure of the microbial food web? 2) Does predation limitation vary between trophic levels? 3) What is the relative importance of resource and predation limitation at different trophic levels?A field study in the northern Baltic Sea showed that dominating protozoa, flagellates and ciliates, increased with increasing primary productivity from north to south.

4. 18. Wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands : Effects of vegetation, hydraulics and data analysis methods

   Författare :Hristina Bodin; Karin Tonderski; Jesper Persson; Stefan Weisner; Per Milberg; Hans Brix; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :constructed wetland; free water surface flow; wastewater treatment; Kenya; Sweden; vegetation; harvest; Cyperus papyrus; Echinochloa pyramidalis; mass load; phosphorus; ammonium; suspended solids; pollutant removal; hydraulics; residence time distribution; data analysis methods; Konstgjorda våtmarker; avloppsvatten; vattenrening; fosfor; ammonium; partiklar; Kenya; Sverige; växter; Cyperus papyrus; Echinochloa pyramidalis; skörd; hydraulik; dataanalysmetod;

   Sammanfattning : Degradation of water resources has become one of the most pressing global concerns currently facing mankind. Constructed Wetlands (CWs) represent a concept to combat deterioration of water resources by acting as buffers between wastewater and receiving water bodies. LÄS MER

5. 19. Life History Strategies in Linnaea borealis

   Författare :Mikael Niva; Brita M. Svensson; P. Staffan Karlsson; Ørjan Totland; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Linnaea borealis; apex removal; apical dominance; clonal plant; hand pollination; matrix modelling; plant foraging; resorption efficiency; resorption proficiency; resource heterogeneity; shoot dynamics; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

   Sammanfattning : About 70% of the plant species in the temperate zone are characterised by clonal growth, clonal species are also in majority in the Arctic and Subarctic where they affect the structure and composition of the vegetation. It is therefore of great importance to increase our knowledge about clonal plants and their growth and life histories. LÄS MER

7. 20. Unlocking Sustainability in Wastewater Denitrification through Waste-Derived Volatile Fatty Acids

   Författare :Tugba Sapmaz; Mohammad J Taherzadeh; Eric D. Van Hullebusch; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volatile fatty acids; wastewater denitrification; ammonium removal; sustainable carbon source; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Sammanfattning : Carbon sources play a critical role in biological nitrogen removal during wastewater treatment, where strict total nitrogen limits on effluent discharge apply. Organic carbon sources serve as electron donors in the denitrification for heterotrophic denitrifiers. LÄS MER
