Una etapa que sense vosaltres, la gent que m’envolta, no hagués estat possible, perquè d’una manera o altra tothom ha fet possible que aquesta tesi acabés agafant forma. Així que, què menys que dedicar- vos com a mínim un apartat, no? Aquest apartat no pot començar sense un GRÀCIES en majúscules a tothom, però en primer lloc als “jefes”, Catxo i Gich. Gràcies per haver confiat en mi durant tots aquests anys, per la paciència i les ganes infinites que heu posat en que aquesta tesi fos possible. Catxo, gràcies per saber empatitzar en tot moment, per les converses fora de feina tot i mai estar d’acord al 100%, per tenir sempre uns minuts encara que no existissin i, com no, per confiar en que us fes de masovera! Gich, gràcies per saber treure sempre la part positiva de tot, per tota l’energia dedicada en que tot surti endavant i ens afavoreixi a tots i, evidentment, per totes les recomanacions de música i esdeveniments varis durant tots aquests anys.

A banda de tota la gent que m’ha acompanyat en l’àmbit acadèmic (i en part personal), aquesta tesi no hagués estat possible sense totes aquelles persones que sempre hi són, aquelles que sempre feu que tot tiri endavant, i que òbviament us mereixeu, com a mínim, una part d’aquest apartat. A en Ferran, per tots els sopars a Ca la Flora i a Can Pericus aguantant les meves “xapes” sobre la tesi, entre altres coses, i per tots els moments que portem compartits des de Casa Nostra... A l’Ula, per sempre preguntar “i la tesi què?”, i només amb una mirada saber que cal canviar de tema. A l’Òscar, perquè segur que a dia d’avui encara no saps què faig, però sempre preguntes.

The strain’s taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain CAU 1123T grew optimally at 37 C and at pH 7.5 in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain CAU 1123T formed a monophyletic lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae with 93.8 % or lower sequence similarity to representatives of the genera Rubrimonas, Oceanicella, Pleomorphobacterium, Rhodovulum and Albimonas. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 !7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1 !7c and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 71.1 mol%. Based on the data from phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic studies, it is proposed that strain CAU 1123T represents a novel genus and novel species of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Limibaculumhalophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is CAU 1123T (=KCTC 52187T, =NBRC 112522T). The family Rhodobacteraceae was first established by Garr- chemotaxonomic properties along with a detailed phyloge- ity et al.

  • Removal of Biological Organics in High-Salinity Wastewater Produced from Methylcellulose Production and Subsequent Changes in the Microbial Community
    Environ. Eng.

China ABSTRACT The wastewater generated in methylcellulose (MC) production is characterized by high salinity and pH due to the residual sodium and chlorine separated from the methyl group. It is difficult to treat wastewater using the conventional activated sludge method because the high concentration of salt interferes with the microbial activity. This study confirms the biological removal of organic matter from MC wastewater using sludge dominated by Halomonas spp., a halophilic microorganism. The influent was mixed with MC wastewater and epichlorohydrin (ECH) wastewater in a 1:9 ratio and operated using a sequencing batch reactor with a hydraulic retention time of 27.8 d based on the MC wastewater. The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) increased from 80.4% to 93.5%, and removal efficiency had improved by adding nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus to the wastewater. In terms of microbial community change, Halomonas spp. decreased from 43.26% to 0.11%, whereas Marinobacter spp. and Methylophaga spp. increased from 0.50% to 15.12% and 7.51%, respectively.

    THESIS PROCESSES GOVERNING THE PERFORMANCE OF OLEOPHILIC BIO-BARRIERS (OBBS) – LABORATORY AND FIELD STUDIES Submitted by Laura Tochko Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Tom Sale Joe Scalia Sally Sutton Copyright by Laura Elizabeth Tochko 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PROCESSES GOVERNING THE PERFORMANCE OF OLEOPHILIC BIO-BARRIERS (OBBS) – LABORATORY AND FIELD STUDIES Petroleum sheens, a potential Clean Water Act violation, can occur at petroleum refining, distribution, and storage facilities located near surface water. In general, sheen remedies can be prone to failure due to the complex processes controlling the flow of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) at groundwater/surface water interfaces (GSIs). Even a small gap in a barrier designed to resist the movement of LNAPL can result in a sheen of large areal extent. The cost of sheen remedies, exacerbated by failure, has led to research into processes governing sheens and development of the oleophilic bio-barrier (OBB). OBBs involve 1) an oleophilic (oil-loving) plastic geocomposite which intercepts and retains LNAPL and 2) cyclic delivery of oxygen and nutrients via tidally driven water level fluctuations. The OBB retains LNAPL that escapes the natural attenuation system through oleophilic retention and enhances the natural biodegradation capacity such that LNAPL is retained or degraded instead of discharging to form a sheen. Sand tank experiments were conducted to visualize the movement of LNAPL as a wetting and non-wetting fluid in a water-saturated tank.
