Handbook of Water and Wastewater MicrobiologyDuncan Mara, Nigel J. Horan Elsevier, 7 ago 2003 - 832 pagine "Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right" --Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General Edited by two world-renowned scientists in the field, The Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology provides a definitive and comprehensive coverage of water and wastewater microbiology. With contributions from experts from around the world, this book gives a global perspective on the important issues faced in the provision of safe drinking water, the problems of dealing with aquatic pollution and the processes involved in wastewater management. Starting with an introductory chapter of basic microbiological principles, The Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology develops these principles further, ensuring that this is the essential text for process engineers with little microbiological experience and specialist microbiologists alike.

... heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain such organic molecules by absorbing them as solutes from the environment. Some phagotrophic heterotrophs obtain organic molecules by ingestion of other organisms. Microorganisms that use carbon dioxide ...
... heterotrophs are also called chemoheterotrophs. They use organic compounds for energy, carbon and electrons/hydrogen. The same organic nutrient compound often satisfies all these requirements. Animals, most bacteria, fungi, and protozoa ...
... heterotrophic. Such bacteria that use inorganic energy sources and carbon dioxide, or sometimes organic compounds, as carbon sources can be called mixotrophic, because they combine autotrophic and heterotrophic processes. Chemotrophs ...
... heterotrophic bacterium that can grow in a medium containing only glucose as the carbon and energy source, ammonium sulphate as the nitrogen and sulphur source, and a few additional inorganic compounds, also has great biosynthetic ...
... heterotrophic nutrition. Consequently, many organisms classified as phytomastigophorea are also classified as algae, this includes such organisms as Euglena, Volvox, Oicomonas and the dinoflagellates. The remaining class ...
