AGRICULTURAL SMALL WATER BODIES: CARBON SOURCE OR CARBON SINK?
… is known about their contribution to the global carbon budget, especially in agricultural landscapes. This research aimed to determine the rate of organic carbon accumulation in agricultural ponds in relation to nutrients, and to estimate CO2 and CH4 production processes in, and emission routes …

Evaluation of gasoline-denatured ethanol as a carbon source for wastewater denitrification
Methanol (MeOH) is a common external carbon source for wastewater denitrification, because of its low cost and low sludge yield. Ethanol (EtOH), on the other hand, is more expensive, but yields higher denitrification rates. This study introduces gasoline-denatured ethanol (dEtOH), which is now …

Evaluation of an Industrial Byproduct Glycol Mixture as a Carbon Source for Denitrification
… stringent total nitrogen limits, supplemental carbon must be added to improve the performance of the biological nutrient removal process. An industrial by-product that contained ethylene glycol and propylene glycol was used as a substitute carbon source for methanol in this study. The …

Effect of carbon source on growth, sporulation, and development of mosquito toxicity by Bacillus sphaericus
… B. sphaericus and 3) to determine the effect of carbon supplementation of complex media on sporulation and mosquito toxicity of B. sphaericus. In general, the pathogenic strains which constitute DNA homology group IIA of the species, grew with a greater variety of compounds as sole carbon sources …

Characterization of a carbon source-dependent, phytohormone-responsive, free methionine-(R)-sulfoxide reductase from Komagataeibacter hansenii
Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 is a gram negative, non-pathogenic, acetic acid bacterium, best known for its ability to produce bacterial cellulose (BC). BC, an extracellular polysaccharide, is an important component of biofilms as it promotes anchoring to surfaces for nutrient acquisition …

Factors affecting use of sorbitol as a carbon source by exponentially growing Gluconobacter oxydans ATCC 19357
… growth and oxidation rates on use of SL as a carbon source was also examined. Cells were first grown in Standard Medium containing 5% SL, 1% peptone (PE), 1% yeast extract (YE) and 20 µCi/flask of U-<sup>14</sup>C-SL. Cells were harvested, washed and fractioned with cold trichloroacetic acid …

The transcription factor, fixK, plays a central role in carbon source metabolism and cellulose synthesis in Komagataeibacter species
… producers. This thesis investigated both carbon source utilization and the role that a Crp/Fnr transcription factor, FixK, plays in bacterial cellulose biosynthesis. Extracellular proteins secreted by Komagataeibacter were assayed for degradative activity against plant cell wall compounds. …

Escherichia coli mutants unable to use a combination of L-serine, glycine and L-leucine as carbon source
Previously, medium containing a combination of L-serine, glycine and L-leucine (SGL medium) has been used to study the characteristics, including the activation system, of L-serine deaminase (L-SD), an interesting enzyme from Escherichia coli that is first synthesized in an inactive form. In this …

Effect of Different Growth Conditions on Cell Growth Using Biphenyl as a Sole Carbon Source by the Bacteria Isolated from Soil Samples Collected from San Jacinto River, Texas
… strains; the strains were cultured in a carbon-deficient medium with biphenyl as the sole carbon source. Among these strains, FR CSM SOY, identified as Escherichia Coli demonstrated higher cell density growth, and was further monitored by GC-MS for canonical degradation intermediates. …

Studies on bacteria able to use methane in denitrification
… was to determine the suitability of single carbon organic compounds as hydrogen donors for denitrification. Although methanol has been used for this purpose with some success, methane has apparently been disregarded as a possible carbon source. A denitrifying unit was operated with methanol …

Nitrogen regulation of theput operon in enteric bacteria
… can grow on proline as the sole nitrogen and carbon source. Expression of the proline utilization (put) operon in Klebsiella aerogenes and Escherichia coli is responsive to nitrogen regulation, but Salmonella typhimurium can not activate put operon expression when growing in medium with …

Development of Low Energy Aeration System For Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR)
… the effect of acetate to propionate ratio as a carbon source for EBPR systems under low DO concentrations have been studied, to investigate the effect of carbon source on the competition between Glycogen Accumulating Organism (GAO) and Polyphosphate Accumulating Organism (PAO) in EBPR systems. …

Substrate Specificity and Molecular Characterization of PAH-Degrading Anaerobic Enrichment Cultures Under Methanogenic Conditions
… low-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene or phenanthrene, as a sole carbon source. Characterization of the enrichment cultures by 16S rDNA analysis revealed two unique populations, though they were initiated from the same sediment source. This study set out to …
