Protection of Nitrosomonas europaea from Silver Nanoparticle-Induced Inhibition through a Two-Step, Magnesium-Facilitated Mechanism

Creator:: Anderson, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The inhibitory effects of (Ag⁺) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) 3-5 nm in diameter (stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) and 20 nm (stabilized with citrate) on nitrification rates of the model ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) Nitrosomonas europaea were investigated. Experimental solutions contained HEPES buffer and ammonia (NH₃) in the presence and absence...

Kinetic analysis of the aerobic degradation of chlorinated ethenes by the mycobacterium ELW-1 and chlorinated ethanes and ethenes by rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC® 21198™

Creator:: Rich, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes by the augmentation of contaminated soils with microorganisms is a proposed method of reducing contaminant concentrations in groundwater. To determine the viability of using ELW-1 or R. rhodochrous for groundwater remediation, kinetic analyses of transformation rates must be performed. The focus of this research was to...

Influence of Corexit 9500A and Alaska North Slope Crude oil toxicity to the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, Nitrosomonas europaea, and the ammonia-oxidizing archaea, Nitrosopumilus maritimus

Creator:: Schneider, Margaret C.
Abstract:: The inhibitory effects of Corexit 9500A, Alaska North Slope Crude oil (ANSC), and mixtures of the two on the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, Nitrosomonas europaea, and the ammonia-oxidizing archaea, Nitrosopumilus maritimus, were investigated. Corexit 9500A was found to be minimally toxic to both microorganisms with concentrations of 2000 and 3000 ppm yielding...

Inhibition of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas europaea by the emerging contaminant triclosan

Creator:: Hughes, Jamie L.
Abstract:: Identifying the inhibition of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) by emerging organic contaminants is crucial due to the importance of AOB in wastewater treatment, the widespread use of antibacterial agents such as triclosan (TCS) in consumer products, and the sensitivity of N. europaea to inhibitors. Triclosan inhibition of nitrification by AOB...

Effects of silver ions and nanoparticles on suspended cells and biofilms of Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Barker, Leila Kelly
Abstract:: Silver nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The resulting influx of silver nanoparticles into wastewater may pose a threat to bacteria involved in biological wastewater treatment. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrite in the first step of nitrification, are highly sensitive...

Abiotic and biological transformation of TBOS and TKEBS, and their role in the biological transformation of TCE and c-DCE

Creator:: Vancheeswaran, Sanjay
Abstract:: At Site-300, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), CA, trichloroethene (TCE) is present along with tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetrabutoxysilane (TBOS) and tetrakis(2-ethylbutoxy) silane (TKEBS), as subsurface contaminants. Intrinsic transformation of TCE to cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE) was observed in the groundwater at locations co-contaminated with TBOS or TKEBS. Attenuation of TBOS and TKEBS...

The effect of silver ions and nanoparticles on biofilms and planktonic cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Giska, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Due to the effective antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles they represent a significant proportion of all consumer-‐related nanomaterials. The introduction of silver nanoparticles from these products into domestic and industrial wastewater streams poses potential complications for biological treatment systems. A critical component of biological treatment that is extremely sensitive to...

Kinetic and molecular effects of sulfate reduction on a dechlorinating culture under chemostat growth conditions

Creator:: Berggren, Dusty Rose V.
Abstract:: Chlorinated ethenes are common groundwater contaminants that may be treated through in-situ bioremediation. Relationships between the reducing environment, available electron donors and acceptors, reaction kinetics, and microbial community composition must be further understood to successfully engineer remediation schemes in the complex subsurface environment. This thesis work investigated the effect of...

Electron donor and chlorinated ethene effects on activity and community composition in anaerobic reductively dechlorinating consortia

Creator:: Sabalowsky, Andrew R.
Abstract:: This research focused on anaerobic transformation of trichloroethene (TCE), a groundwater contaminant. The mixed anaerobic Evanite culture (EV) was studied to determine community behavior and composition responses to different electron donors and chloroethene electron acceptors. The potential toxicity from high concentrations of TCE and its daughter product cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) was...

Factors controlling halogenated and nonhalogenated alkene growth substrate range of vinyl chloride-utilizing bacteria

Creator:: Taylor, Anne Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis explores the factors limiting the alkene substrate range of the vinyl chloride (VC)-utilizing bacteria, and describes a method for measuring VC transformation in situ. Vinyl fluoride (VF) was evaluated as a surrogate for monitoring aerobic VC-transformation utilizing three isolates, Mycobacterium EE13a, Mycobacterium JS60 and Nocardioides JS614. JS614 grew...
