Length of incubation for enumerating nitrifying bacteria present in various environments.
The effect of incubation time on most-probable-number estimates of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria was investigated by using waters, rooted aquatic plants, sediments, and slimes as inoculum sources. Maximum most probable numbers of the NH4+-oxidizing group were attained in 20 to 55 days (median, 25). Estimates of NO2-oxidizers were highest at termination (103 to 113) days.
متن کاملNitrifying bacteria in wastewater reservoirs.
Deep wastewater reservoirs are used throughout Israel to store domestic wastewater effluents for summer irrigation. These effluents contain high concentrations of ammonia (</=5 mM) that are frequently toxic to photosynthetic microorganisms and that lead to development of anoxic conditions. Population dynamics of nitrifying bacteria and rates of nitrification were studied in two wastewater reser...
متن کاملA new simple method for the enumeration of nitrifying bacteria in different environments
In this work, a simple, safe and rapid method for enumerating nitrifying bacteria was used as an alternative to traditional harmful chemical methods. The enumeration of nitrifying bacteria was based upon the change of color of the growth media containing pH indicators in response to acid production during nitrification. The oxidation of ammonia to strong acids by nitrifiers leads to pH decrease...
متن کاملNitrifying and denitrifying pathways of methanotrophic bacteria.
Nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting molecule, continues to accumulate in the atmosphere as a product of anthropogenic activities and land-use change. Nitrogen oxides are intermediates of nitrification and denitrification and are released as terminal products under conditions such as high nitrogen load and low oxygen tension among other factors. The rapid completion and pu...
متن کاملSeeding of Nitrifying Bacteria as a Way for Nitrification Improvement
Seeding of nitrifying bacteria into the activated sludge process may decrease the necesary volume needs for a stable nitrification process. Both theoretical and experimental studies were carried out in order to evaluate the effects of seeding. A model was developed for prediction of the effects of seeding of nitrifying bacteria from a separate stage into the activated sludge process. Seeding te...
