Microbial Astronauts: Assembling Microbial Communities for Advanced Life Support Systems
TL;DR: Fundamental properties of microbial diversity and community assembly in prototype bioregenerative systems for NASA Advanced Life Support have been evaluated and successional trends related to increased niche specialization, including an apparent increase in the proportion of nonculturable types of organisms, have been consistently observed.
Distribution of Microbial Communities Associated with the Dominant High Marsh Plants and Sediments of the United States East Coast
TL;DR: Within the sediment, community composition was strongly correlation with latitude, indicating that biogeographical factors are important determinants of sediment community composition, whereas abundance was positively and strongly correlated with sediment organic matter content.
Bacterial transport in porous media: Evaluation of a model using laboratory observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results of fitting solutions of an advection-dispersion equation, modified to account for deposition and entrainment, to breakthrough curves from packed sand columns using two sizes of sand, two ionic strengths of the carrier solution, and two organisms with different sizes.
Qualitative and Quantitative Aspects of the Modern Nitrogen Cycle
Aaron L. Mills
- 01 Jan 2019
TL;DR: The biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen was recognized and largely defined in the nineteenth century as discussed by the authors, and only two new processes were added to the cycle, anaerobic ammonia oxidation and industrial fixation of N2 by the Haber-Bosch process.
Kinetics of BTX biodegradation and mineralization in batch and column systems
TL;DR: The maximum specific growth rate, μ max, was found to be similar between batch and column experiments, indicating that there were no mass-transport limitations in the columns and that the solid-to-solution ratio was not a significant factor affecting kinetic parameters.
