Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial Growth Kinetics opens with a critical review of the history of microbial kinetics from the 19th century to the present day. The results of original investigations into the growth of soil microbes in both laboratory and natural environments are summarised. The book emphasises the analysis of complex dynamic behaviour of microorganism populations. Non-steady states and unbalanced growth, multiple limitation, survival under starvation, differentiation, morphological variability, colony and biofilm growth, mixed cultures and microbial population dynamics in soil are all examined. Mathematical models are proposed which give mechanistic explanations to many features of microbial growth. The book takes general kinetic principles and their ecological applications and presents them in a way specifically designed for the microbiologist. This in itself is unusual but taken with the book's fascinating historical overview and the many fresh and sometimes controversial ideas expressed, this book is a must for all advanced students of microbiology and researchers in microbial ecology and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

Download or read book Ecological Stoichiometry of Marine Bacteria written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cycling of carbon between inorganic and organic compounds is an underlying process that drives all life forms. While the rates of production of organic matter have been extensively examined, the degradation rates and kinetics remain poorly understood. Microbial organisms, highly efficient recyclers, play a pivotal role in the degradation process in the ocean. This thesis explores the interactions among microbes (bacteria and protozoa) and how the competitive and predatory interactions affect the rate of organic matter degradation and regeneration. Emphasis is placed both on the structure and dynamics of the particulate and dissolved organic reservoir. Also, prey C:N:P stoichiometry is examined (both experimentally and in a model) to assess the role of elemental ratio relationships in population dynamics and organic matter cycling. It was found that under low growth rates, there is extensive variability of cell C:P and N:P, dependent on bacterial species, but at high growth rates, most species have similar C:P and N:P due to the necessity of P-rich ribosomes. Using clonal species of bacteria tagged with red and green fluorescent proteins, this thesis provides evidence that protozoan predators may prefer slower growing bacterial cells (with higher C:P and N:P), possibly because their cellular stoichiometry closer resembles that of eukaryotic consumers and less energy would need to be expended on processing the excess nutrients. Data from this thesis suggests that the ultimate bulk percentage of carbon remineralized or respired is primarily dependent on predator/prey interactions and trophic inefficiency, regardless of the limiting nutrient. It has long been debated how the addition of protisian predators stimulates the degradation of organic matter. Here, evidence is provided that the trophic inefficiency of converting bacteria cells to protist cells may account for much of this stimulation.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of recent advances, such as non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the maintenance concept and the material balancing method, to the description, of microbial growth has suggested new experimental approaches which have yielded a wealth of data. These data have been used to develop mathematical models of microbial growth and metabolism, and the models have made it possible to direct the metabolism of a microorganism in such a way that more of a certain desired product is made. While a full quantitative description of all aspects of microbial growth and metabolism is till remote, the new approaches are opening up large areas of new potential -- it is now possible, for instance, to deal with individual cells in a population and with quantitative aspects of product formation and optimisation. Microbiologists, biochemists and physiologists will find this an invaluable update on a field of great promise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil enzymes are one of the vital key mediators involved in nutrient recycling and the decomposition of organic matter and thereby in maintaining soil quality and fertility. This Soil Biology volume covers the various facets of soil enzymes, such as their functions, biochemical and microbiological properties and the factors affecting their activities. Enzymes in the rhizosphere, in forest soils, and in volcanic ash-derived soils are described. Soil enzymes covered include phosphohydrolases, lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, phenol oxidases, fungal oxidoreductases, keratinases, pectinases, xylanases, lipases and pectinases. Several chapters treat the soil enzymatic activities in the bioremediation of soils contaminated with pesticides and pollutants such as oil, chlorinated compounds, synthetic dyes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The role of soil enzymes as bioindicators is a further important topic addressed.
