ALGAE: SOURCE TO TREATMENT M57

NEW! AWWA MANUAL OF WATER SUPPLY PRACTICES M57The ability to mitigate biofouling, tastes and odors, and toxin production depends on a clear understanding of these organisms, and Algae: Source to Treatment (M57) is a critical guide for water treatment professionals. With more than 450 photos and illustrations, this AWWA Manual of Water Supply ...

Determination and Significance of Emerging Algal Toxins (Cyanotoxins)

Cyanobacterial blooms have a long history and are widely recognized as sources of taste and odors in water supplies. There is an increasing concern for health effects in consumers with the identification of a number of toxic cyanobacterial metabolites. Cyanobacteria produce a range of toxins including peptide hepatotoxins (microcystins), ...

Addressing Concerns About Tastes and Odors and Cyanotoxins in Tap Water

Consumers today demand drinking water that looks, smells, and tastes good. The occurrence of aesthetically unpleasing T&O compounds in water creates a perception of unsafe water. The main sources of T&O problems in municipal water supplies are certain types of algae, mainly blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) and fungi (actinomycetes). Although many ...

Real-time Coastal Observing Systems for Marine Ecosystem Dynamics and Harmful Algal Blooms

The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being ...

Cyanobacterial Toxins of Drinking Water Supplies

The contamination of both drinking and recreational water supplies by cyanobacteria is increasingly a cause for concern worldwide. While contamination causes livestock deaths with relative frequency, acute poisoning is rare in humans. However, there is growing apprehension over the possible role of cylindrospermopsins and microcystins in ...

Genetics and Regulation of Nitrogen Fixation in Free-Living Bacteria

This book provides a comprehensive and detailed source of information on the genetic and regulatory aspects of biological nitrogen fixation in free-living (non-symbiotic) prokaryotes. Biological nitrogen fixation is represented in a diverse range of microorganisms, among which Klebsiella pneumoniae serves as a paradigm for the genetic analysis of ...

Advances in Algal Biology: A Commemoration of the Work of Rex Lowe

Advances in Algal Biology: A Commemoration of the Work of Rex Lowe was written by students and colleagues of Rex Lowe to acknowledge his esteemed career that included exceptional contributions to research and teaching. Papers in the book cover a variety of topics in algal ecology, focusing on benthic algal ecology in freshwater ecosystems. The ...

Associative and Endophytic Nitrogen-fixing Bacteria and Cyanobacterial Associations

This book is the self-contained fifth volume of a comprehensive seven-volume series covering both fundamental and applied aspects of nitrogen-fixation research since the 19th century. It addresses the issues arising from bacterial colonization of either the plant-root surface or other tissues as well as their modes of doing so. These associations ...

Biotechnology of Biofertilizers

Biofertilizers are important components of integrated nutrient management. They are cost effective, ecofriendly and a renewable source of plant nutrients to supplement chemical fertilizers in sustainable agricultural systems in India.This book is written with the objective of covering the basic issues in Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF), such as ...

Eutrophication of Shallow Lakes with Special Reference to Lake Taihu, China

Eutrophication and algal blooms are worldwide environmental issues in lakes. The eutrophication process and formation mechanisms of algal blooms are particularly complicated in shallow lakes due to the strong lake–land, air–water and water–sediment interactions. This volume features papers presented at the International Symposium on the ...
