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...

Development and applications of a high-throughput activity assay, using the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:

Bartow, Shannon M.

Abstract:

The rising demand on freshwater resources emphasizes the benefit of biogeochemical processes that maintain clean water by removing pollutants such as excess nitrogen. The most sensitive step in the removal of nitrogen from waterways is the oxidation of ammonia, a part of nitrification, which is carried out by ammonia oxidizing...

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...
