  3. 2. Isolation and genomic characterization of three PHA degrading bacteria from the marine environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Giulia Elli; [2019]
    Keywords : PHA; degradation of PHA; marine bacteria; sulphate reducing bacteria; SRB; SRM; biotechnology; bioteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The broader goal of this project was to investigate what kind of effects the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the marine environment might have on the microbial world. Bacteria were isolated from biofilms fouling PHA pellets placed in the sediment-water interface; the goal was to isolate PHA degraders that were also sulphate reducers. READ MORE

    Author : Hannan Hadodo; [2017]
    Keywords : Spring; water quality; restoration;

    Abstract : Twenty springs in the central parts of Vallentuna municipality have been studied to determine their present water qualities and suggest actions that could be taken to improve the water quality and availability of the springs. The measured parameters are the water volume, the water flow, the water temperature, the pH-value, the electrical conductivity, the chloride concentration, the alkalinity and the CODMn. READ MORE

  6. 5. Concentrations and riverine massflows of geothermal arsenic. : Case study: Jemez River, NM, USA

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Lina Hansson; [2016]
    Keywords : arsenic; speciation; river discharge; fault;

    Abstract : Geothermal arsenic (As) and its inorganic species transformation in river systems are of global concern, since As has a potential negative impact on human health and ecosystems. Periods of increased precipitation may change As concentrations and As partitioning in streams, due to elevated water tables, increased runoff generation, dilution, and interactions with sediment.
