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.

... nitrifying, hydrogen, iron and sulphur bacteria. They oxidize reduced inorganic compounds, such as nitrogen, iron or sulphur molecules, to derive both energy and electrons/hydrogen. They use carbon dioxide as their carbon source. A few ...
... nitrifying and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic organisms. The sulphur and iron organisms are important in sewer and pipe corrosion. They are all obligate (strict) aerobes, e.g. Thiobacillus (T. thiooxidans and T. ferrooxidans) and have ...
... nitrifying and hydrogenotrophic methanogen lithoautotrophs are of particular importance in municipal wastewater ... nitrification. The ammonia oxidizers, e.g. Nitrosomonas and Nitrosococcus spp., ammonia (NH4) as an electron donor ...
... nitrifying organisms causing a further demand for oxygen. Depending on the volume of wastewater discharged and the amount of oxygen available, the water body can become anoxic. If the water does become anoxic, nitrification of ammonia ...
