Evaluation of in situ ammonia removal in an aerated landfill bioreactor

Microorganisms in landfill bioreactors for accelerated stabilization of solid wastes

“…Ammoniaoxidizing bacteria are also expected to contribute to nitrous oxide production (45). Specifically, nitrifying bacteria, specifically Nitrosospira and Nitrobacter species, were found in aerobic LBRs (46). In aerobic LBRs, a-Proteobacteria (Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodospirillum), g-Proteobacteria (Pseudomonas), and d-Proteobacteria…”

Correlation between Changes of the Abundance of the Nitrification and Denitrification and Quality of the Effluent in Constructed Wetland

“…Mertoglu et al [12] used 16S rDNA and amoA gene which based molecular biology techniques in the assessment of the effect of ammonia removal in the landfill bioreactor to determine the nitrification activity. The amoA gene was used as phylogenetic relationship of comparative basis to assess the dissolved oxygen of ammonia oxidizing bacteria population in activated sludge in the study of Park and Noguera [13].…”

Identification and quantitative evaluation of nitrogen-converting organisms in a full-scale leachate treatment plant

“…Considering slow degradation of solid waste, many researchers try to accelerate the stabilization within the landfill. Various enhancement techniques such as leachate recirculation, air injection, addition of water and some nutrients have been developed to accelerate the decomposition of organic waste and the removal of nitrogen within the landfill environment (Berge et al, 2005;Mertoglu et al, 2006;Reinhart, 1996). On the other hand, new investigations on microbial ecology have highlighted new processes and players in the nitrogen cycle (Francis et al, 2005(Francis et al, , 2007.…”

“…These players can be used for the in situ treatment of the landfill leachates and ensure the degradation of organic solid waste and nitrogen, simultaneously (Zouboulis et al, 2001). In order to understand and characterize the nitrogen-converting organisms, knowledge of their structure, diversity and function is necessary (Boothe et al, 2001;Mertoglu et al, 2006).…”
