Ammonia-induced inhibition of manure-based continuous biomethanation process under different organic loading rates and associated microbial community dynamics
(2021)Three Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CTSRs) were operating at steady state conditions with Organic Loading Rates (OLR) of 2.09, 3.024 and 4.0 g VS L−1 d−1. Glucose was used as the sole factor for increasing the OLR, ... -
Assessment of the impact of three pesticides on microbial dynamics and functions in a lab-to-field experimental approach
(2018)The toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms is as an emerging area of concern. Novel and well-standardized tools could be now used to provide a robust assessment of the ecotoxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms. ... -
Biomarkers in the exhaled breath condensate of healthy adults: Mapping the path towards reference values
(2008)The need for non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is imperative, since inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are characterized by variation in their clinical presentation throughout their course. ... -
Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(2018)Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ... -
A catastrophic change in a european protected wetland: From harmful phytoplankton blooms to fish and bird kill
(2022)Understanding the processes that underlay an ecological disaster represents a major scientific challenge. Here, we investigated phytoplankton and zooplankton community changes before and during a fauna mass kill in a ... -
The effect of biochar feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, and application rate on the reduction of ammonia volatilisation from biochar-amended soil
(2018)Ammonia (NH3) volatilisation is one of the most important causes of nitrogen (N) loss in soil-plant systems worldwide. Carbon-based amendments such as biochar have been shown to mitigate NH3 volatilisation in agricultural ... -
Effects of organic loading rate and hydraulic retention time on bioaugmentation performance to tackle ammonia inhibition in anaerobic digestion
(2021)Three continuously stirred-tank reactors fed with manure operating under high ammonia levels (5.0 g NH3-N L−1) and with increased organic loading rate (OLR), (2.09 R1, 3.02 R2 and 4.0 R3 g VS L−1 d−1), achieved through ... -
Estimation of ground-level O3 using soft computing techniques: case study of Amritsar, Punjab State, India
(2022)Over the years, many organizations across the globe have conducted various studies pertaining to air pollution and its ill effects. The results of these studies substantially conclude that a plethora of people succumbs to ... -
Exhaled breath condensate in asthma: From bench to bedside
(2011)The need for non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is imperative, since inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are characterized by variation in their clinical presentation throughout their course. ... -
FAME and bio-oil properties and carbon yield coefficients of Chlorella sorokiniana cultivated heterotrophically with industrial effluents
(2022)The fatty acid (FA) distribution of bi-oil derived from Chlorella sorokiniana and FAME basic properties were examined. C. sorokiniana was cultivated heterotrophically in two very different growth media: a) glycerol and ... -
Freshwater-adapted sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax feeding frequency impact in a lettuce Lactuca sativa aquaponics system
(2021)The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of three daily fish feeding frequencies, two, four and eight times per day (FF2, FF4, and FF8, respectively) on growth performance of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)and ... -
Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers
(2016)Thiabendazole (TBZ), imazalil (IMZ), ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), diphenylamine (DPA), and ethoxyquin (EQ) are used in fruitpackaging plants (FPP) with the stipulation that wastewaters produced by their application would be ... -
Microbial adaptation to high ammonia concentrations during anaerobic digestion of manure-based feedstock: biomethanation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(2020)BACKGROUND: Microbial consortia resistant to high ammonia concentrations may facilitate biogas production from high ammonia-containing wastes and manures during anaerobic digestion. Microbial communities were gradually ... -
Pesticide effects on nitrogen cycle related microbial functions and community composition
(2022)The extensive application of pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about their potential negative impact on soil microorganisms, being the key drivers of nutrient cycling. Most studies have investigated the effect of ... -
Shotgun metagenomics assessment of the resistome, mobilome, pathogen dynamics and their ecological control modes in full-scale urban wastewater treatment plants
(2021)The conventional activated sludge (CAS) process has limited capacity to remove pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), compared to membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, the full extent of pathogenic ... -
Soil and maize contamination by trace elements and associated health risk assessment in the industrial area of Volos, Greece
(2019)Agricultural lands adjacent to industrial activities are vulnerable due to the risk of trace elements (TEs) being accumulated into crops and subsequently humans. One such case concerns the industrial area of Volos, Greece, ...
