AbstractWastewaters polluted with non-biodegradable volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as aromatic substances, present a growing problem meeting no adequately affordable technological response. Low-temperature plasma generated in the gas-phase pulsed corona discharge (PCD) presents competitive advanced oxidation technology in abatement of various classes of pollutants, although the process parameters, the pulse repetition frequency and the liquid spray rate, require optimization. The experimental research into aqueous benzene oxidation with PCD was undertaken to establish the impact of the parameters to the energy efficiency. The oxidation reaction was found under the experimental conditions to mostly proceed in the gas phase showing little influence of the pulse repetition frequency and the gas-liquid contact surface. Oxidation of benzene and, presumably, other volatile pollutants in the volume of PCD reactor compartment presents an effective strategy of aqueous VOCs abatement.

High temperature is a risk factor for vibriosis outbreaks. Most vibrios are opportunistic pathogens that cause the mortality of aquatic animals at the vibrio optimal growth temperature (~25 °C), whereas a dominant Vibrio kanaloae strain SbA1-1 is isolated from natural diseased ark clams (Scapharca broughtonii) during cold seasons in this study. Consistent symptoms and histopathological features reappeared under an immersion infection with SbA1-1 performed at 15 °C. The pathogenicity difference of SbA1-1 was assessed under different temperatures (15 °C and 25 °C). The cumulative mortality rates of ark clams were significantly higher at the low temperature (15 °C) than at the high temperature (25 °C); up to 98% on 16th day post SbA1-1 infection. While the growth ratio of SbA1-1 was retarded at the low temperature, the hemolytic activity and siderophores productivity of SbA1-1 were increased. This study constitutes the first isolation of V. kanaloae from the natural diseased ark clams (S. broughtonii) in cold seasons and the exposition of the dissimilar pathogenicity of SbA1-1 at a different temperature. All the above indicates that V. kanaloae constitutes a threat to ark clam culture, especially in cold seasons.

Structure-functlon studies of biological N2-fixation have correlated the presence of the enzyme nitrogenase with increased numbers of intracytoplasmic membranes in Azotobacter. However no direct evidence has been provided for the internal cellular localization of any nitrogenase. Recent advances concerned with the crystallizatiorTand the electron microscopic characterization of the Mo-Fe protein component of Azotobacter nitrogenase, prompted the use of this purified protein to obtain antibodies (Ab) to be conjugated to electron dense markers for the intracellular localization of the protein by electron microscopy. The present study describes the use of ferritin conjugated to goat antitMo-Fe protein immunoglobulin (IgG) and the observations following its topical application to thin sections of N2-grown Azotobacter.
