Alkaline Stabilization of Freshwater Sediments

Book Description
The sediment to a pH of 12 and maintain for 2 hours. The US EPA asserts that this method is at least 99% effective at reducing organisms in biosolids. The goal of this study was to determine if the use of alkaline stabilization reduces the amount of microorganisms in sediments obtained from a freshwater stream. Measurements of heterotrophic bacteria, total fungi, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and total coliforms were used to assess the effectiveness of alkaline stabilization of sediments. It was determined that the amount of microorganisms in the sediment after treatment with hydrated lime and lime kiln dust was reduced, but the decrease was not 99% for all the indicator organisms as predicted by the US EPA guidance for biosolids. Heterotrophs, E. coli, and total coliforms were reduced by greater than 99%, but fungi were only reduced 86.5% and the opportunistic pathogen Bacillus cereus was only reduced by 75%.

Microbial Behavior and Sediment Stabilization

Pages : 4
Book Description
Our goal is to understand how microbial behavior influences the mechanical stability of illuminated littoral marine sediments. We define "behavior" as the interaction of bacteria and diatoms with environmental signals that are either auto-produced, or arise from another source. A further goal is to investigate whether these processes, which define sediment optical signatures, can be influenced by anthropogenic intervention. Our objectives are to isolate representative bacteria and diatoms from stabilized sediments and use these organisms in axenic and defined mixed cultures to examine the microbially-driven sediment aggregation process in vitro. The surficial chemistry necessary for adhesion is an important variable in sediment particle colonization by microorganisms. We will measure the influence of this parameter on the adhesion process as well as the possibility for cell/cell interaction in the attached cell layer.

Freshwater Microbiology
Author: David C. Sigee
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470026472
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
This unique textbook takes a broad look at the rapidly expanding field of freshwater microbiology. Concentrating on the interactions between viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi and micro-invertebrates, the book gives a wide biological appeal. Alongside conventional aspects such as phytoplankton characterisation, seasonal changes and nutrient cycles, the title focuses on the dynamic and applied aspects that are not covered within the current textbooks in the field. Complete coverage of all fresh water biota from viruses to invertebrates Unique focus on microbial interactions including coverage of biofilms, important communities on all exposed rivers and lakes. New information on molecular and microscopical techniques including a study of gene exchange between bacteria in the freshwater environment. Unique emphasis on the applied aspects of freshwater microbiology with particular emphasis on biodegradation and the causes and remediation of eutrophication and algal blooms.
