Divergent PCB organohalide-respiring consortia enriched from the efflux channel of a former Delor manufacturer in Eastern Europe
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Martina Praveckova
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) organohalide-respiring communities from the efflux channel of a former Delor manufacturer in Eastern Slovakia were assessed using metagenomic, statistical and cultivation-adapted approaches. Multivariate analysis of environme ...
Elsevier2015Assessment of bioremediation potential and monitoring of biological reductive dechlorination in sites contaminated with chlorinated ethenes
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski
Chlorinated ethenes (CEs), such as perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene, are one of the most common classes of groundwater contaminants. In this project, the contaminant biodegradation capacities of two aquifers, presenting both dichloroethene (DCE) a ...

2014Tensile basic creep versus compressive basic creep at early ages: comparison between normal strength concrete and a very high strength fibre reinforced concrete
Pierre Rossi, Maléna Bastien Masse
The paper presents experimental results concerning the comparison of tensile and compressive basic creep behaviours at early ages of two different concretes: a normal strength concrete (NSC) and a very high strength fibre reinforced concrete (HPFRC). This ...
Springer Verlag2014Assessment of bioremediation potential and monitoring of biological reductive dechlorination in sites contaminated with chlorinated ethenes
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski
Chlorinated ethenes (CEs), such as perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE), are one of the most common class of groundwater contaminants. Aquifers are considered nowadays as dynamic ecosystems, showing multiple interactions between the physical, ch ...
2013Impact Assessment of Pumping Parameters on Groundwater Bacterial Communities
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani, Guillaume Laulan
Groundwater microbial community samples are traditionally collected using pumping techniques optimized for groundwater chemistry assessment, although the impact of groundwater pumping parameters on apparent bacterial community structures (BCSs) is not real ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Pelletization of micro-algae by induced lichen formation through co-culture with filamentous fungi
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay
The use of micro-algae within industrial applications, such as biofuel production, has several limitations with regard to cost and therefore sustainability. Micro-algae biomass consists of small single cells that stay in suspension making them difficult to ...
2013Subordinate plant species impact on soil microbial communities and ecosystem functioning in grasslands: Findings from a removal experiment
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rossi, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Charlotte Vandenberghe, Richard David Bardgett, Claire Meugnier
Despite their low relative abundance, subordinate plant species may have larger impacts on ecosystem functioning than expected, but their role in plant communities remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to test how subordinate plant species i ...
Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag2013PyroTRF-ID: a novel bioinformatics methodology for the affiliation of terminal-restriction fragments using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing data
Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Pierre Rossi, Jacques Rougemont, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Noam Shani, Lucas Sinclair
The PyroTRF-ID bioinformatics methodology (http://bbcf.epfl.ch/PyroTRF-ID/) was developed to combine pyrosequencing and T-RFLP for describing microbial communities and identifying T-RFs by comparison of experimental and digital T-RFLP profiles obtained fro ...
2013Multidisciplinary approach for evaluation of the complete removal of chloroethenes in contaminated aquifer
Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski, Martina Praveckova
Chlorinated ethenes (CEs) pose a long-lasting risk for humans and the environment. Nowadays, they are the major groundwater contaminant worldwide and are of particular concern since they form a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL). Reductive dehalogenati ...
