These elegant formations of microbes enable robust wastewater treatment Some of Fluence’s signature wastewater treatment solutions are based on membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology, which was first introduced in the 1990s. MABR harnesses biofilm, an extremely resilient mode of life that has been found in sediment dating back 3.4 billion years. These formations of microbial ...
Our membrane filters are also used for a wide variety of marine eDNA research. We’d love to hear about studies happening on the ocean this spring! ...
In a recent article, we described how environmental DNA (eDNA) has been used to detect the presence of aquatic species in lakes and rivers. eDNA studies have demonstrated great potential for surveillance of rare, endangered, and invasive species by simply collecting and analyzing water samples from target habitats. ...
They are also known to grow on, and smother, the larger native lake mussels. Here too, eDNA is being used to track their spread across the country. eDNA monitoring is not only used to monitor invasive species, but also to track endangered or threatened species in remote areas where populations are not known, or to monitor animals attempting a return to their ...
The protein (PN), polysaccharide (PS), and extracellular DNA (eDNA) percent concentrations of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of biofilm samples harvested from a pilot-scale nitrifying moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) were investigated at various operating temperatures and hydraulic retention times (HRTs). ...
But measuring population sizes with eDNA remains elusive. DNA concentrations depend not only on how many animals are present, but the animals’ size, shape and rate at which they shed cells and waste containing DNA. ...
