Method for measuring mineralization in lake sediments.
A method is described for measuring the mineralization of an organic solute ((14)C-glucose) by the heterotrophic indigenous bacteria in lake sediments. Since there is no suitable procedure for the determination of in situ microbial activities in sediments, the procedure described is probably the best devised so far and may serve as a base for a more definitive procedure.
متن کاملA Cell Extraction Method for Oily Sediments
Hydrocarbons can be found in many different habitats and represent an important carbon source for microbes. As fossil fuels, they are also an important economical resource and through natural seepage or accidental release they can be major pollutants. DNA-specific stains and molecular probes bind to hydrocarbons, causing massive background fluorescence, thereby hampering cell enumeration. The c...
متن کاملSources and sinks of microplastics in Canadian Lake Ontario nearshore, tributary and beach sediments.
Microplastics contamination of Lake Ontario sediments is investigated with the aim of identifying distribution patterns and hotspots in nearshore, tributary and beach depositional environments. Microplastics are concentrated in nearshore sediments in the vicinity of urban and industrial regions. In Humber Bay and Toronto Harbour microplastic concentrations were consistently >500 particles per k...
متن کاملDeciphering climatic history from lake sediments
Reconstructing climate from lake sediments can be challenging, because the response of lakes and various components of lake systems are mediated by non-climatic factors, such as geomorphic and hydrologic stetting. As a result, the magnitude of lake response to climatic forcing may be non-linear. In addition, changes in the lake system associated with the aging process or non-climatic influences...
متن کاملSand capping for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediments.
In this research, the use of the sand capping technique for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediment was evaluated experimentally. Multiple acrylic columns were prepared to measure the dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, total phosphorus, and phosphate concentrations of the overlying water on the capping layer with thicknesses of 0, 40, and 80 mm. Sand capping effectively ...
