Role of organic matter, clay, and iron contents in the sorption of oxytetracycline on river sediments
Background: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely-used antibiotic; metabolism studies indicate only partial assimilation of it inside the body. Traditional wastewater treatment plants cannot remove OTC, and this results in the release of considerable amounts of the drug into aquatic environments. There is much concern over the role of residual antibiotics in the development of new generations of ba...
متن کاملInfluence of bioturbation by Hediste diversicolor on mercury fluxes from estuarine sediments: a mesocosms laboratory experiment.
Mercury, with its reactive forms being the most deleterious for the trophic chains, has been identified as a major pollutant in a few confined bodies of the coastal zone. Due to feeding, burrowing, and bioirrigation activities, infauna are known to play a crucial role in the biogeochemical processes of contaminants. The main goal of the present study is to evaluate the effects of Hediste divers...
متن کاملEffects of dissolved oxygen and fresh organic matter on the bioturbation potential of macrofauna in sublittoral sediments off Central Chile during the 1997/1998 El Niño
A study off Concepción, central Chile, during the 1997/1998 El Niño (EN) revealed that the concentration of dissolved oxygen and the organic content and quality of the sediment control the vertical distribution of macrofauna in the sediment and bioturbation potential. The study area, characterized by organic-rich, silty sediments, lies within the most intense upwelling center off the coast of C...
متن کاملTrends in dissolved organic matter cycling, sediment microbiomes, and methylmercury production across vegetation heterogeneity in a Great Lakes wetland
1 Recent advances have allowed for greater investigation into microbial regulation of 2 mercury toxicity in the environment. In wetlands in particular, dissolved organic matter (DOM) 3 may influence methylmercury (MeHg) production both through chemical interactions and 4 through substrate effects on microbiomes. We conducted microcosm experiments in two 5 disparate wetland environments (unveget...

Recent advances have allowed for greater investigation into microbial regulation of mercury toxicity in the environment. Inwetlands in particular, dissolved organicmatter (DOM) may influence methylmercury (MeHg) production both through chemical interactions and through substrate effects on microbiomes. We conducted microcosm experiments in two disparate wetland environments (oligotrophic unvege...
