Zebra mussel control using Zequanox® in an Irish waterway

Pseudomonas flourescens CL145A (Zequanox®) for Zebra Mussel Control: A Synopsis of Peer-reviewed References

Beginning in the early 1990s, researchers at the New York State Museum began investigating bacteria and their natural metabolic products as selective agents for the biological control of zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis, respectively). This research team discovered that one specific strain (CL145A) of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas flourescens can caus...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Molecular ecology of zebra mussel invasions.

The invasion of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, into North American waters has resulted in profound ecological disturbances and large monetary losses. This study examined the invasion history and patterns of genetic diversity among endemic and invading populations of zebra mussels using DNA sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene. Patterns of haplotype frequency...

Design of Zebra Mussel Control Measures for Hydro-Electric Power Projects

Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is a biofouling organism that lives generally in freshwater ecosystems. Zebra mussel infestation has occurred at various freshwater structures and systems including raw water intakes, industrial and domestic distribution pipelines, and hydropower facilities at its native regions as well as distant locations. A study was conducted to perform risk assessment an...
