  2. 11. Microbial life deep underground : From anaerobic cultures to reconstructed genomes

    Author : George Westmeijer; Mark Dopson; Hans Røy; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Continental deep biosphere; microbial ecology; anaerobic enrichment cultures; Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator; Thiobacillus denitrificans; flow-cells; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : The deep biosphere refers to the vast ecosystem of life beneath the Earth’s surface, residing in the fractured bedrock and pores of rocks, largely isolated from solar energy. These fractures enclose an important reservoir of groundwater that contains microorganisms active in processes such as the uptake of inorganic carbon, sulfur cycling, or the degradation of organic matter.

  4. 12. Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance (PICT) of Bacteria: Evaluation in Phenol- and Antibiotic Polluted Soil

    Author : Louise Aldén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotics; Bacteria; Community; Fungi; Leucine incorporation; Phenols; Soil; Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance PICT ;

    Abstract : The effects of organic pollutants on the soil microbial community were studied in this work. The main aim was to evaluate the use of pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) in studying the effects of pollution. The leucine incorporation technique (indicating bacterial growth) was used to monitor changes in tolerance. READ MORE

  5. 13. Microbial Ecology of Granular Sludge

    Author : Raquel Liebana; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high-throughput DNA analysis; sequencing batch reactors; granular structure; wash-out dynamics; aerobic granular sludge; disturbance; fluorescence in-situ hybridization; microbial community dynamics; granulation; reproducibility;

    Abstract : Granular sludge is an efficient and compact biofilm process for wastewater treatment. Despite the well-established methods for granule cultivation, the ecological processes underpinning the microbial community assembly during granulation are poorly understood. READ MORE

  6. 14. Bio-based recovery of organic carbon from municipal waste streams : Process optimization and microbial community dynamics

    Author : Isaac Owusu-Agyeman; Zeynep Cetecioglu; Elzbieta Plaza; Piet Lens; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Resource recovery from waste contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. Municipal organic wastes have enormous potential for resource recovery due to the inherent organic content which makes it possible to obtain bio-based chemicals and bioenergy. READ MORE

  7. 15. Limitations and possibilities for microbial degradation of organic contaminants in aquifers
