Characterization of the predicted membrane anchor of reductive dehalogenases

Julien Maillard, Lorenzo Cimmino, Marie Joanna Marie-Joseph Dannay

BACKGROUND Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a metabolic process that couples the reduction of halogenated organic compounds to energy conservation in a few phylogenetically diverse anaerobic bacteria. In this study, tetrachloroethene (= perchloroethene, P ...

Development of new strategies to produce and characterize PceC, a membrane-bound flavoprotein involved in organohalide respiration

Christof Holliger, Lorenzo Cimmino

Halogenated organic compounds (so-called organohalides) represent one of the major widespread groundwater pollutants. Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process in which chlorinated compound, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), is used as te ...

Biogeochemical Cycling by a Low-Diversity Microbial Community in Deep Groundwater

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Louise Julia Balmer, Guillaume Sommer, Chen Qian

Olkiluoto, an island on the south-west coast of Finland, will host a deep geological repository for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Microbially induced corrosion from the generation of sulphide is therefore a concern as it could potentially compromise t ...

Semi-analytical solution of flow to a well in an unconfined-fractured aquifer system separated by an aquitard

David Andrew Barry

Semi-analytical solutions are presented for flow to a well in an extensive homogeneous and anisotropic unconfined-fractured aquifer system separated by an aquitard. The pumping well is of infinitesimal radius and screened in either the overlying unconfined ...

Chromate Resistance Mechanisms in Leucobacter chromiiresistens

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat

Chromate is one of the major anthropogenic contaminants on Earth. Leucobacter chromiiresistens is a highly chromate-resistant strain, tolerating chromate concentrations in LB medium of up to 400 mM. In response to chromate stress, L. chromiiresistens forms ...

Non-target screening to trace ozonation transformation products in a wastewater treatment train including different post-treatments

Urs von Gunten, Juliane Hollender

Ozonation and subsequent post-treatments are increasingly implemented in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for enhanced micropollutant abatement. While this technology is effective, micro pollutant oxidation leads to the formation of ozonation transforma ...

Groundwater dynamics in subterranean estuaries of coastal unconfined aquifers: Controls on submarine groundwater discharge and chemical inputs to the ocean

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

Sustainable coastal resource management requires sound understanding of interactions between coastal unconfined aquifers and the ocean as these interactions influence the flux of chemicals to the coastal ocean and the availability of fresh groundwater reso ...
