A Comparison of Physical Soil Organic Matter Fractionation Methods for Amended Soils by Sarah Duddigan, Liz J. Shaw, Paul D. Alexander, Chris D. Collins

“…Using five different physical fractionation methods, on soils either nontreated or with a history of amendment with a range of exogenous organic matter inputs (Irish moss peat; composted horse manure; garden compost) and a resulting range of carbon contents (6.8 to 22.2%), we show that method selection had a significant impact on both the total C recovered and the distribution of the recovered C between unprotected, physically protected, or chemically protected conceptual pools. These between-method differences most likely resulted from the following: (i) variation in the methodological fractions obtained (i.e., distinguishing between aggregate size classes); (ii) their subsequent designation to conceptual pools (e.g., protected versus unprotected); and (iii) the procedures used in sample pretreatment and subsequent aggregate dispersion and fractionation steps. …”

Evaluation of Two-Stage Backwashing on Membrane Bioreactor Biofouling Using <i>cis</i>-2-Decenoic Acid and Sodium Hypochlorite by Sungjin Park, Wonjung Song, Chehyeun Kim, Zikang Jiang, Jiwon Han, Jihyang Kweon

“…CDA is a signaling molecule known to disperse biofilms, which is reported to reduce the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of biofilms and make them less chemically resistant. In our experiments, CDA 300 nM was used for the backwashing biofouling in MBR, and backwashing with CDA followed by 0 to 500 mg/L sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was also performed. …”
