Methane is an abundant gas used in energy recovery systems, heating, and transport.
Methanotrophs are bacteria capable of using methane as their sole carbon source. Although …

Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Third Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance
to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation …

Dissolved methane measurements rely on the time-consuming collection of discrete water
samples followed by gas-chromatography analysis. To date, this approach has proved …

Microprofiles of O2 and NO3-were measured in nitrifying biofilms from the trickling filter of an
aquaculture water recirculation system. By use of a newly developed biosensor for NO3-, it …

Toxic chemicals introduced into the environment can penetrate ecosystems and can be
found in the whole biosphere. Chemical contamination may affect ecosystems, causing …

The microbial community structure and spatial distribution of microorganisms and their in
situ activities in anaerobic granules were investigated by 16S rRNA gene-based molecular …

The inorganic nitrate (NO 3‾) anion is present under a variety of both natural and artificial
environmental conditions. Nitrate is ubiquitous within the environment, food, industrial and …

Field analytical chemistry (FAC) is a rapidly growing area of chemical analysis in which the
analytical measurement is completely accomplished at the site where the analyte is located …

Microsensors used in microbial ecology are reviewed with emphasis on new sensor
developments (NO 3-, NO 2-, NH 4+, CO 2, H 2, H 2 S and CH 4 microsensors as well as …

Various microfabrication techniques have been employed for the development of
microchemical sensors and biosensors. In view of the environmental applications, the …
