Microbes thrive from coastal areas to the open ocean and deep sea, adapting to varying conditions like temperature, pressure, oxygen and nutrient levels through metabolic strategies like photosynthesis and symbiosis with other organisms.
Aquatic microbiology deals with the study of microbes in aquatic environments like freshwater and saltwater systems. It includes the study of microscopic plants, animals, bacteria, viruses and fungi and their interactions. Aquatic ecology is the study of how organisms interact with each other and their physical and chemical environments in aquatic habitats. Key concepts include food webs, nutrient cycles, and the effects of both biotic and abiotic factors on the types of organisms present. Marine environments support diverse coastal and open ocean habitats that are home to complex communities of microbes, plankton, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates.
This document discusses the microbial flora found in aquatic environments. It begins by defining microbial flora and the different types of aquatic environments, including marine, freshwater, and wetland ecosystems. The main types of microorganisms found in aquatic environments are plankton and benthic microorganisms. Sources of microbes in aquatic systems include runoff from soil, agricultural activities, industrial discharge, and human or animal waste. Microbes have adapted traits like capsules, plasmids, and flagella to survive in different aquatic conditions such as temperature, salinity, pressure, and oxygen levels.

Thermophiles have heat-stable membranes and proteins while psychrophiles can grow in temperatures as low as -15°C through various metabolic pathways. The document provides examples of extremophile organisms from all domains of life that have adapted to survive in these extreme conditions through specialized cellular mechanisms.
This document provides an overview of the microbial loop in marine ecosystems. It discusses how bacteria consume dissolved organic matter released by phytoplankton and protozoans. These bacteria are then consumed by protozoans like flagellates and ciliates, recycling nutrients and carbon back into the food web. Approximately 60% of energy in marine food chains is estimated to pass through this microbial loop. The loop links dissolved organic matter to microbes and micrograzers, and is crucial to ecosystem function by transferring carbon and nutrients between trophic levels.
The document discusses various types of interactions between microorganisms including mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, competition, and synergism. Specific examples are provided for each type of interaction such as lichens exhibiting mutualism between fungi and cyanobacteria. Both beneficial and harmful relationships between microbes and other organisms like plants, animals, and humans are explored.
Bioremediation refers to the process of using microorganisms to remove the environmental pollutants i.e. the toxic wastes found in soil, water, air etc. The microbes serve as scavengers in bioremediation. The removal of organic wastes by microbes for environmental clean-up is the essence of bioremediation. The other names used (by some authors) for bioremediation are bio-treatment, bio-reclamation and bio-restoration.
Bioremediation of soil: A soil sample ((desert soil/soil with oil spills) ) was saturated with crude oil (17.3%, w/w) and aliquots were diluted to different extents with either pristine desert or petrol pump’s soils. Heaps of all samples were exposed to outdoor conditions through six months, and were repeatedly irrigated with water and mixed thoroughly. Quantitative determination of the residual oil in the samples revealed that oil-bioremediation in the undiluted heaps was nearly as equally effective as in the diluted ones. One month after starting the experiment. 53 to 63% of oil was removed. During the subsequent five months, 14 to 24% of the oil continued to be consumed by the microbes. The dynamics of the hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial communities in the heaps was monitored. The highest numbers of those organisms coordinated chronologically with the maximum oil-removal. Out of the identified bacterial species, those affiliated with the genera Nocardioides (especially N. deserti), Dietzia (especially D. papillomatosis), Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Cellulomonas, Gordonia and others were main contributors to the oil-consumption. Some species, e.g. D. papillomatosis showed the maximum tolerance compared with all the other studied isolates. It was concluded that even in oil-saturated soil, self-cleaning proceeds at a normal rate.
Freshwater bodies can be divided into zones based on environmental factors like depth and sunlight penetration. The major zones are:
1) The littoral zone near the shoreline, which receives nutrients from runoff and supports plant and algae growth.
2) The limnetic zone in open water, divided into the euphotic zone near the surface with sunlight and oxygen, and the deeper profundal zone without sunlight below the thermocline.
3) The benthic zone along the bottom consists of sediments and decomposes organic matter from the other zones.
Marine environments also exhibit zonation. The water column is divided horizontally into neritic and oceanic zones, and vertically into phot
Wastewater treatment uses microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and protozoa to break down organic contaminants. There are three main approaches - fixed film systems where microbes grow on substrates, suspended growth systems where microbes are suspended in wastewater, and membrane bioreactors which improve on conventional activated sludge using a membrane to filter treated water. Common biological wastewater treatment methods include activated sludge, trickling filters, rotating biological contactors, stabilization ponds and constructed wetlands. Advanced technologies are being developed that combine membrane separation with microbial processes to provide more effective wastewater treatment and reuse of resources.

Recent research is also cited that studied biodegradation of crude oil by bacterial consortium in the marine environment.
Halophiles (Introduction, Adaptations, Applications)Jamil Ahmad
Introduction
Halophiles are organisms that thrive in high salt concentrations.
They are a type of extremophile organisms. The name comes from the Greek word for "salt-loving".
While most halophiles are classified into the Archaea domain, there are also bacterial halophiles and some eukaryota, such as the alga Dunaliella salina or fungus Wallemia ichthyophaga
This document discusses the microorganisms found in bottled natural mineral water. It notes that natural mineral water contains a low level of microorganisms from the source aquifer. While most bacteria in bottled water are non-pathogenic, some species like Pseudomonas, Legionella, Aeromonas, and Micobacterium can be opportunistic pathogens. The bottling process can allow bacteria levels to increase rapidly if proper sanitation is not maintained during packaging, storage, and distribution. Maintaining cold temperatures is important to prevent bacterial growth in bottled water.

This document summarizes key microorganisms commonly found in water and discusses water purification methods. It describes several pathogens like Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Hepatitis A, Legionella, and Anabaena sp. that can contaminate water and cause illness. It also mentions other microbes like rotifers, copepods, E. coli, and fungi that may be present. Water quality indicators like turbidity and different types of bacteria are discussed. Methods for purifying water include separation techniques, filtration, oxidation, and a history of food preservation is provided.
Waterborne illnesses have two main causes: pollution from industrial and agricultural chemicals contaminating water supplies, and dirt and contamination from bacteria, viruses, and parasites entering water through contact with animal and human waste. Some of the illnesses caused include diarrhea, cholera, polio, and meningitis. To protect yourself, only drink clean, safe water that has been treated or filtered, store water without germs, and practice good hand hygiene. While waterborne illnesses can occur anywhere, they often impact more rural areas and vulnerable groups like children the most severely due to lack of access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure.
This document discusses waterborne diseases and their impact. It notes that waterborne diseases cause over 2 million deaths and 4 billion cases of diarrhea annually, mostly in children in developing countries. It defines different types of waterborne diseases including water-borne (caused by ingestion of contaminated water), water-washed (caused by contact with contaminated water), water-based (parasites found in water organisms), and water-related (vector-borne diseases near contaminated water). It provides numerous examples and details of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, protozoa and helminths that can cause these diseases.
Water is a fundamental component for supporting life, assuming a basic part in different physical processes. Notwithstanding, regardless of its indispensable significance, it can likewise hold onto possible dangers to human well-being. Waterborne diseases, brought about by microorganisms debasing water sources, present critical dangers to networks around the world. These contaminations can prompt different illnesses, going from gentle gastrointestinal uneasiness to serious and hazardous illnesses.
In this investigation of waterborne diseases, we dig into the different exhibits of well-being chances related to debased water. By examining the types, sources, and effects of pathogens on human health, we want to highlight the critical need for awareness, prevention, and effective management of water-related health hazards.
Since forever ago, waterborne sicknesses have tormented social orders, causing far-and-wide episodes and influencing general well-being for an enormous scope.While progressions in sterilization and water treatment have essentially diminished the occurrence of these contaminations in created areas, many regions of the planet wrestle with a lack of admittance to spotless and safe water.
Therefore, populaces here remain profoundly defenseless to waterborne diseases, sustaining a pattern of well-being challenges and financial weights. Waterborne microorganisms integrate a large number of microorganisms, including minute living beings, contaminations, parasites, and protozoa. These minuscule specialists can invade water sources through different means, like insufficient disinfection, sewage pollution, modern overflows, or normal sources like streams and lakes.
Water-borne diseases are illnesses caused by ingesting water contaminated with human or animal waste containing pathogens. They are a major global public health issue, causing over 2 million deaths annually, especially among children in developing countries. Improving access to clean water and sanitation could reduce the global disease burden by an estimated 4%. Common water-borne diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasites transmitted via contaminated water sources.
This document discusses water pollution including its types and effects. It defines water pollution as the contamination of water bodies by pollutants directly or indirectly discharged without treatment. The types of water pollution covered are surface, ground, microbiological, nutrient, and chemical. Effects include visible trash and waste, contamination of drinking water, disease transmission, excess algae growth displacing oxygen, and pollution from industrial chemicals and metals harming wildlife. Prevention methods include organized clean ups and changing habits to protect this important resource.
This document discusses important topics related to water supply engineering including water demand estimation and population forecasting. It explains that the total water demand of a city consists of domestic, industrial, commercial and public demands as well as firefighting and losses. The domestic demand per capita is typically 135 litres/day in India. Methods for estimating population growth over the design period of a water supply system (typically 20-30 years) are also presented to ensure adequate water supply for future needs. Waterborne diseases spread through contaminated water and their causes are described.

Health talk on prevention from water borne diseases 2DEBJYOTIADHIKARI1
This document discusses water-borne diseases caused by contaminated drinking water. It outlines several diseases transmitted through water, such as cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A, and diarrheal diseases. Common pathogens that cause these diseases, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, are also identified. The document emphasizes the importance of access to safe drinking water and discusses water treatment processes. It concludes that public education is needed along with providing access to pure drinking water in order to improve community health and prevent water-borne diseases.
There are several ways that water quality can become polluted and endangered. Water quality is impacted by the amount of oxygen present, as well as the presence of disease-causing organisms, nutrients, toxic chemicals, sediments, and changes in temperature. Two common ways to monitor water quality are by measuring biological oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen content, which determine if water can sufficiently support life. Many pollutants like pathogens, heavy metals, synthetic chemicals, and excess nutrients from eutrophication threaten water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
This document discusses the microbial contamination of foods from various sources. It explains that all foods naturally contain microorganisms and can become contaminated during harvesting, handling, cooking, storage, and processing. The main sources of microbial contamination are from plants and fruits, animals and their products, sewage, soil, water, air, and during handling and processing of foods. Pathogens like Salmonella can contaminate foods and spread illness. Proper handling, cleaning, and food safety practices are needed to minimize microbial contamination from these sources.
Waterborne diseases pose major public health challenges that are exacerbated by climate change. Flooding, drought, and rising temperatures can all spread infectious agents and contaminate water sources. Various pathogens spread through water can cause diseases like typhoid, cholera, and cryptosporidiosis. Effective controls include improving water treatment, sanitation infrastructure, hygiene practices, and surveillance systems to limit transmission and outbreaks of water-related infections.
A concise presentation on the emerging topic on Metagenomic Analysis of Water Bodies. This presentation will help students and scientists to understand the various techniques used in metagenomic studies of rivers as well as oceans. Brief Introduction to various bioinformatic techniques like Lipidomics, LCMS, HPLC and Next Gen Sequencing, with a focus toward ocean and river samples.
Water pollution comes from many sources and takes various forms. The main types of water pollution include nutrients pollution from wastewater and fertilizers which can encourage harmful algae growth; surface water pollution from hazardous substances dissolving in natural water sources; oxygen depleting pollution which can cause aerobic organisms to die off; ground water pollution from chemicals being washed into underground water sources; and microbiological, industrial, and chemical water pollution which can introduce toxic substances and microorganisms that harm human and aquatic life.
Water pollution is caused by human activities that introduce chemical, physical, or biological changes into water sources. Point sources like factories and sewage treatment plants directly discharge pollutants, while nonpoint sources like agricultural runoff cannot be traced to a single origin. Water pollution poses health risks like toxic accumulation in seafood, reproductive issues, and waterborne diseases. Solutions include conserving water, proper disposal of household waste, and using environmentally-friendly products.

Waste water treatment removes contaminants from household and industrial wastewater through a multi-step municipal treatment process including primary, secondary, and advanced treatments before final disposal. Inadequate treatment increases health risks and endangers ecosystems by spreading disease, killing aquatic life, and accumulating toxins, while proper treatment reduces risks, generates electricity, and supports agriculture. Common disposal methods include natural processes like dilution and land treatment, or artificial ones like surface water discharge or reuse.
Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They can form when large stars collapse at the end of their life cycles, compressing their mass into a tiny space. Black holes warp spacetime so severely that they can pull objects inward and may potentially serve as portals to other universes or allow for time travel according to some theories. Scientists study black holes by observing the effects of their strong gravitational forces, such as emitting x-rays and warping of light.
Soil microbiology is the study of microorganisms that exist in soil, including bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Nitrobacter, fungi such as Pythium and Verticillium, algae, actinomycetes, nematodes, protozoa, and amoebas. Soil microbes play important roles like breaking down organic matter, fixing nitrogen, recycling nutrients, promoting plant growth, and controlling pests and diseases, though some can also cause plant diseases, compete with crops, and deplete oxygen from soil.
This 3-sentence document discusses safety topics by Maliha Firdous including protection, avoiding accidents, and fire radiation. The document suggests being cautious of potential dangers and taking necessary precautions. Overall, it seems to promote safety awareness.
Food preservation uses physical or chemical agents to prevent microbial spoilage of food by employing either the inhibition principle or killing principle. The inhibition principle reduces pH, uses preservatives, or low temperatures to inhibit microbial growth, while the killing principle uses heat treatment, irradiation, gases, or pasteurization to kill microorganisms. Food preservation has advantages like preventing spoilage, increasing safe storage periods, and making out of season foods available.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
