Journal ArticleDOI
Composition of bacterial and archaeal communities in freshwater sediments with different contamination levels (Lake Geneva, Switzerland)
TL;DR: Multiple factor analysis revealed that the microbial community composition and the environmental variables were correlated at the two sites, which suggests that in addition to environmental parameters, pollution may be one of the factors affecting microbial community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic-resistant soil bacteria in transgenic plant fields
Sandrine Demanèche,Hervé Sanguin,John Poté,Elisabeth Navarro,Dominique Bernillon,Patrick Mavingui,Walter Wildi,Timothy M. Vogel,Pascal Simonet +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that soil bacteria are naturally resistant to a broad spectrum of beta-lactam antibiotics, including the third cephalosporin generation, which has a slightly stronger discriminating effect on soil isolates than other cep Halosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local to regional scale industrial heavy metal pollution recorded in sediments of large freshwater lakes in central Europe (lakes Geneva and Lucerne) over the last centuries.
TL;DR: The regional scale pollution history inferred from the three large and deep perialpine lakes points out at the pollution of water systems by heavy metals during the last two centuries due to the discharge of industrial effluents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a sewage treatment plant outlet pipe extension on the distribution of contaminants in the sediments of the Bay of Vidy, Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
TL;DR: It is concluded that contaminant reduction at the source will be necessary for a further improvement in the impact of the outlet pipe prolongation of the sewage treatment plant into the Bay of Vidy in Lake Geneva.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of clinically relevant antibiotic-resistance genes, bacterial load, and metals in freshwater lake sediments in Central Europe.
Naresh Devarajan,Amandine Laffite,Neil D. Graham,Maria Meijer,Kandasamy Prabakar,Josué I. Mubedi,Vicky Elongo,Pius T. Mpiana,Bastiaan Willem Ibelings,Walter Wildi,John Poté,John Poté +11 more
TL;DR: The contamination of sediments by untreated or partially treated effluent water can affect the quality of ecosystem, and the reduction of contaminants from the source is recommended for further improvement of water quality.
