diversity and seasonal changes of uncultured planctomycetales in river biofilms. | cell counts of planctomycetes showed that there were high levels of these organisms in the summer and low levels in the winter in biofilms grown in situ in two polluted rivers, the elbe river and the spittelwasser river. in this study 16s rrna-based methods were used to investigate if these changes were correlated with changes in the species composition. planctomycete-specific clone libraries of the 16s rrna genes found in both rivers showed that there were seven clusters, which were distantly r ... | 2004 | 15345387 |
effect of hco3- concentration on anammox nitrogen removal rate in a moving bed biofilm reactor. | anammox biomass enriched in a moving bed biofilm reactor (mbbr) fed by actual sewage sludge reject water and synthetically added no2- was used to study the total nitrogen (tn) removal rate of the anammox process depending on bicarbonate (hco3-) concentration. mbbr performance resulted in the maximum tn removal rate of 1100 g n m(-3) d(-1) when the optimum hco3- concentration (910 mg l(-1)) was used. the average reaction ratio of no2- removal, no3- production and nh4+ removal were 1.18/0.20/1. wh ... | 2012 | 23393967 |
