TL;DR: This method enabled us to detect changes in the physiological state of single cells 2-4 h before other indications of partial cell damage, such as unbalanced growth, acetate accumulation and an increased CO(2) production rate, were observed, and shows promise with respect to the further development of an early-warning system to prevent sudden productivity decreases in processes with recombinant E. coli expressing heterologous membrane proteins.

TL;DR: The rapidity and reproducibility of the method developed make its application ideal for routine quantification of microbial cell abundances on sand from water biofilters and thus useful in revealing the ecological patterns and quantifying the metabolic kinetics involved in such systems.

TL;DR: The present study gives a detailed characterization of bath toy biofilms and a better understanding of determinants for biofilm formation and development in systems comprising plastic materials in contact with potable water.

TL;DR: In this paper, a round-robin test was performed to evaluate the correlation between three established AOC methods, van der Kooij method, the Werner & Hambsch method and Eawag method, and good correlations were found between AOC concentrations measured with the various methods.

TL;DR: A novel data analysis approach is developed, using self-organizing maps and non-linear projection methods, to approximate the TCC dynamics using the multivariate data sets of abiotic parameter time-series, thus providing a method that could be implemented in an online water quality management system for water suppliers.
