Trophic complexity in aqueous systems: bacterial species richness and protistan predation regulate dissolved organic carbon and dissolved total nitrogen removal.
Loading of water bodies with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) affects their integrity and functioning. Microbial interactions mitigate the negative effects of high nutrient loads in these ecosystems. Despite numerous studies on how biodiversity mediates ecosystem functions, whether and how diversity and complexity of microbial food webs (horizontal, vertical) an...
متن کاملSimultaneous Determination of Dissolved Organic Carbon and Total Dissolved Nitrogen on a Coupled High-Temperature Combustion Total Organic Carbon-Nitrogen Chemiluminescence Detection (HTC TOC-NCD) System
The marine biogeochemistries of carbon and nitrogen have come under increased scrutiny because of their close involvement in climate change and coastal eutrophication. Recent studies have shown that the high-temperature combustion (HTC) technique is suitable for routine analyses of dissolved organic matter due to its good oxidation efficiency, high sensitivity, and precision. In our laboratory,...
متن کاملDissolved organic carbon and nitrogen in the Western Black Sea
Dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen (DOC and DON) concentrations were measured in the Black Sea during May–June 2001. Sampling was conducted along a Shelf–Gyre transect, and was focused at the suboxic–anoxic interface at the deep stations; hypotheses were tested regarding trends in these variables across the transect and between sub-surface water layers. DOC and DON concentrations were higher...
متن کاملA Rapid Automated System for the Analysis of Dissolved Total Organic Nitrogen in Aqueous Solutions
-An automated system for the analysis of dissolved organic nitrogen has been developed and applied to natural waters. It is based on subjecting sample to u.v. irradiation followed by a heterogeneous reduction of the nitrogen containing irradiation products to ammonia which is detected by an ammonia gas sensing probe. Quantitative recoveries of different organic nitrogen compounds common to natu...
متن کاملRemoval of assimilable organic carbon and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon by reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF), under various solution chemistries, on bacterial regrowth potential as quantified by assimilable organic carbon (AOC) and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC). The bench-scale experiments, using tap groundwater spiked with acetate as organic carbon, revealed that AOC remo...
