Growth of organisms

A broader view would include the addition of a substrate to stimulate the growth of organisms known to degrade the contaminant of interest only as an incidental part of their metaboHsm, one might almost say serendipitously. This process is sometimes called co-metaboHsm, and it too has had success. 

Activated sludge Sludge particles produced in raw or settled wastewater (primary effluent) by the growth of organisms (including zoogleal bacteria) in aeration tanks in the presence of dissolved oxygen. The term "activated" comes from the fact that... 

A shortage of any of some two dozen chemical elements that are essential for the growth of organisms can reduce ecosystem productivity, but phosphorus and nitrogen are often the most limiting nutrients, which is why these two elements are standard components of commercial fertilizers. Phosphorus is often limiting because it moves through soil pores and aquatic...

The paradox generated by these findings is further illustrated by a comparative study of Denmark and Britain, a country with the fastest growth of organic food consumption in Europe (Weir et al., 2005). Demand in both markets is shown to be sustained primarily by the private good attributes, that is health and safety, of organic foods. However, in both countries, much of the organic food is produced and handled in concentrated and industrialised sectors characteristic of the conventional food systems that consumers are...

Use of systematic nomenclature is a bit like energy conservation—we all recognize it is necessary, but we would just as soon the start be made after we are dead. The phenomenal growth of organic chemistry during the past decade and the switch by the indexes of Chemical Abstracts to use much more systematic nomenclature suggests that the right time is now. The approach we will take in this book to the nomenclature problem is described in more detail in Chapter 3 (pp. 49-51).
