Bacterial Growth Efficiency in Natural Aquatic Systems
Heterotrophic bacteria perform two major functions in the transformation of organic matter: They produce new bacterial biomass (bacterial secondary production [BP]), and they respire organic C to inorganic C (bacterial respiration [BR]). For planktonic bacteria, a great deal has been learned about BP and its regulation during the past several decades but far less has been learned about BR. Our ...
متن کامل12 Measuring Bacterial Biomass Production and Growth Rates from Leucine Incorporation in Natural Aquatic Environments
The rate of biomass production is a fundamental property of all organisms in nature, but it is an especially important parameter of microbes in natural aquatic environments. An estimate of microbial production can be used as a general index of microbial activity and specifically to calculate growth rates. Since many processes scale with it, biomass production can be used to obtain a first-order...
متن کاملEvaluation of natural zeolite clinoptilolite efficiency for the removal of ammonium and nitrate from aquatic solutions
Background: Surface water and groundwater pollution with various forms of nitrogen such as ammonium and nitrate ions is one of the main environmental risks. The major objectives of this study were to evaluate the capacity of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) to remove NO3- and NH4+ from polluted water under both batch and column conditions. Methods: The laboratory batch and column experiments we...
متن کاملSulphate metabolism among thermophiles and hyperthermophiles in natural aquatic systems.
Although controversial, the idea that hydrothermal systems may have been the site for prebiotic synthesis of organic molecules and origin of life is widely supported. For the nascent life to survive, it must have had some sort of metabolic mechanism for generating energy. However, little is known of the specific metabolic pathways utilized by the early life forms or the effect of high temperatu...
متن کاملBacterial Growth Efficiency in a Tropical Estuary: Seasonal Variability Subsidized
Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is a key factor in understanding bacterial influence on carbon flow in aquatic ecosystems. We report intra annual variability in BGE, and bacteria mediated carbon flow in the tropical Mandovi and Zuari estuaries (southwest India) and the adjoining coastal waters (Arabian Sea). BGE ranged from 3 to 61% and showed clear temporal variability with significantly (AN...
