Source Identification of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Tokyo Bay Sediment
Introduction To employ improved countermeasures against PCB sources and to reduce the risk to aquatic biota, it is important to identify sources and migration pathways and ascertain their contribution to PCB pollution . Thus, a wider range of studies is required to identify potential PCB sources in the environment. The objective of this study is to identify PCB pollution sources affecting Tokyo...
متن کاملSpatial structure of the microbial community in sandy carbonate sediment
The environmental conditions in permeable carbonate sands are in many ways different from those in fine-grained sediments, but little is known about how this affects the structure and composition of the microbial community. We studied the microbial community structure in relation to the geochemical zonation within a 4 m2 patch of a sandy carbonate sediment in Kane’ohe Bay, O’ahu, Hawaii. Porewa...
متن کاملCharacterization of microbial community structure in the surface sediment of osaka bay, Japan, by phospholipid Fatty Acid analysis.
Twenty-eight sediment samples collected from Osaka Bay, Japan, were analyzed for phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids (PLFA) to determine regional differences in microbial community structure of the bay. The abundance of three major groups of C(10) to C(19) PLFA (saturated, branched, and monounsaturated PLFA), which accounted for 84 to 97% of the total PLFA, indicated the predominance of proka...
متن کاملTime trends of perfluorinated compounds from the sediment core of Tokyo Bay, Japan (1950s-2004).
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were detected in sediment core samples collected in Tokyo Bay to reveal their time trends. The core sample deposited during 1950s-2004 was divided into two- to three-year intervals and the concentrations of 24 types of PFCs were determined. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) decreased gradually from the early 1990s and its precursor decreased rapidly in the late 19...
متن کاملSeasonal Changes in Microbial Community Structure in Freshwater Stream Sediment in a North Carolina River Basin
This study examined seasonal differences in microbial community structure in the sediment of three streams in North Carolina’s Neuse River Basin. Microbes that reside in sediment are at the base of the food chain and have a profound influence on the health of freshwater stream environments. Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP), molecular fingerprint analysis of 16S rRNA ge...
