How to use bacteria as a treatment for sewage waste

Biology

Andrei [34K]3 years ago

Explanation:

Biological wastewater treatment is the most common method of sanitation in the world. This technology uses different types of bacteria and other micro-organisms for the treatment and cleaning of polluted water.

Wastewater treatment is as essential to human health as it is to environmental protection. Indeed, the use of these bacteria accelerates the treatment of pollution on a small surface: the purification plant. It’s better than letting the river handle it, because even though it’s the same purification process that occurs in nature, the quantities of pollution discharged today are too high to keep the natural cycle intact.

Thus, sewage treatment plants can prevent eutrophication of rivers, for example, but also prevent the diffusion of diseases.

Municipal and industrial effluent is the main source of wastewater. And thanks to the use of micro-organisms, we are able to degrade the content of these organic wastes as they are used as a source of food and energy to grow and multiply.

Answer: hope this helps

Explanation:

Aerobic bacteria use oxygen, which is added mechanically, to break down wastewater contaminants, converting it into energy. Bacteria use this energy to grow and reproduce. Anaerobic bacteria obtain oxygen from their food source. As anaerobic bacteria break down sludge, they produce methane gas. This methane gas can be used as an alternative energy source, called biogas, to fuel the wastewater treatment process.

What is the best source of nuclear DNA when working with hair samples?
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is a hair root.

Nuclear DNA is commonly extracted from the hair root. The hair root consists of keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are cells found in the epidermis. As all other cells, they contain DNA material. When keratynocites die, they get converted into keratoid material in the process of cornification. As a consequence, d<span>ead cells do not contain DNA material. Therefore, the hair root is the best source of nuclear DNA than shed or cut hair when working with hair sample.</span>
