Microbial biomass, activity and community composition in constructed wetlands
TL;DR: The paper reviews the community composition and structural diversity of the microbial biomass, analyzing different aspects of microbial activity with respect to wastewater properties, specific wetland type, and environmental parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of rural domestic sewage treatment performance, and assessment of microbial community diversity and structure using tower vermifiltration
TL;DR: The performance of a novel three-stage vermifiltration system using the earthworm, Eisenia fetida, for rural domestic wastewater treatment was studied, and the microbial community profiles revealed that band patterns varied more or less in various matrices of each stage at different sampling times, while the presence of earthworms intensified the bacterial diversity in soils.

Correlation among soil microorganisms, soil enzyme activities, and removal rates of pollutants in three constructed wetlands purifying micro-polluted river water
TL;DR: In this paper, three pilot horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) were constructed to purify micro-polluted waters in Chongqing, P.R. China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processes impacting on benzene removal in vertical-flow constructed wetlands.
TL;DR: A statistical analysis indicated that the five days at 20 degrees C N-allylthiourea biochemical oxygen demand (BOD(5), chemical oxygen demand, nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N), dissolved oxygen (DO) and electric conductivity (EC) values of the effluent were positively correlated with the effluence benzene concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and toxicological evaluation of leachate from closed sanitary landfill
TL;DR: Leachate from the sanitary landfill was toxic to both fish species namely P. sutchi and C. batrachus, which may be used as indicator organisms for leachate pollution in water.
