Physiological response of Nitrosomonas europaea to oxytetracycline, chromium, and silver

Creator:

Schaerer, Morgan A.

Abstract:

Nitrosomonas europaea carries out the first step in the biological nitrogen removal process in wastewater treatment by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite. It has been shown to be sensitive to a wide range of contaminants. The antibiotic oxytetracycline and the heavy metals chromium and silver have been found in wastewater influent....

Transcriptional and physiological response of Nitrosomonas europaea to inhibition by chlorinated aromatics and heavy metals

Creator:

Sandborgh, Sean C.

Abstract:

This research investigates the physiological and transcriptional responses of Nitrosomonas europaea when exposed to chlorinated aromatic compounds and heavy metals under varying environmental conditions. It was found that transcriptional responses of identified sentinel genes correlate well with nitrification inhibition. Sorption of metals to biomass was also investigated and found not...
