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

Urs von Gunten

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 ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

Light availability impacts structure and function of phototrophic stream biofilms across domains and trophic levels

Tom Ian Battin

Phototrophic biofilms are ubiquitous in freshwater and marine environments where they are critical for biogeochemical cycling, food webs and in industrial applications. In streams, phototrophic biofilms dominate benthic microbial life and harbour an immens ...

Ecological strategies and metabolic trade-offs of complex environmental biofilms

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

Microorganisms aggregated into matrix-enclosed biofilms dominate microbial life in most natural, engineered, and medical systems. Despite this, the ecological adaptations and metabolic trade-offs of the formation of complex biofilms are currently poorly un ...

Reversible supramolecular modification of surfaces

Negar Moridi

Enzymes are biocatalysts widely used in a large number of industrial biotech processes as they offer clear advantages over their chemical counterparts. Indeed, enzymes often show high substrate selectivity along with elevated turnover rates. Enzymatic cata ...

Light availability affects stream biofilm bacterial community composition and function, but not diversity

Tom Ian Battin

Changes in riparian vegetation or water turbidity and browning in streams alter the local light regime with potential implications for stream biofilms and ecosystem functioning. We experimented with biofilms in microcosms grown under a gradient of light in ...
