8 results about "Periphyton" patented technology

Periphyton is a complex mixture of algae, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic microbes, and detritus that is attached to submerged surfaces in most aquatic ecosystems. The related term Aufwuchs (German "surface growth" or "overgrowth") refers to the collection of small animals and plants that adhere to open surfaces in aquatic environments, such as parts of rooted plants. Periphyton serves as an important food source for invertebrates, tadpoles, and some fish. It can also absorb contaminants, removing them from the water column and limiting their movement through the environment. The periphyton is also an important indicator of water quality; responses of this community to pollutants can be measured at a variety of scales representing physiological to community-level changes. Periphyton has often been used as an experimental system in, e.g., pollution-induced community tolerance studies.

Aquatic habitat structure and associated method

An aquatic habitat structure for a body of water includes tree sections coupled together to form an artificial tree. Each tree section includes a trunk having a cylindrical shape with opposing ends and a curved surface extending therebetween, and a first plurality of leaflets covering the curved surface of the trunk. Spaced-apart layers of limbs extend outwards from the curved surface of the trunk. Each layer of limbs includes a plurality of limbs, and each limb includes a plurality of branches. Each branch is covered by a second plurality of leaflets. Each leaflet in the first and second plurality of leaflets provide a biologic surface area for adherence of periphytons to enhance water quality in the body of water, and with the biologic surface area including textured regions to provide additional biologic surface areas for the adherence of the periphytons to further enhance the water quality.

A device for inducing periphyton to proliferate in a rice field, periphyton and application

PendingCN122303005ABiotechnologySuspended organic matter
This invention discloses a device for inducing the amplification of periphyte organisms in paddy fields, comprising a hollow amplification cavity enclosed by a shell. An artificial carrier, an aeration device, a light module, and a temperature control module are arranged within the amplification cavity. The artificial carrier is a porous material with a pore size of 80-250 μm, a porosity of 85-95%, and a total pore area of ​​0.20-0.80 m². 2 / g. Furthermore, this invention also provides a pericarp biofilm and its applications. The beneficial effects are: the artificial carrier has abundant microbial attachment points, which can promote the growth and expansion of the biofilm and prevent detachment; it can also effectively reduce the mechanical shear force of water flow on microorganisms, intercept suspended organic matter in sewage, provide nutrients for microorganisms, lower the surface energy barrier for microbial attachment, and make it easier for various bacterial and algal communities to colonize, achieving rapid biofilm formation and mass production.

Fluorescence spectrum-based periphytic algae classification and identification method

The invention discloses a periphytic algae classification and identification method based on a fluorescence spectrum, and the method comprises the steps: fitting a single-class group fluorescence intensity-biomass quantification model and constructing a mixed model based on the characteristic fluorescence peaks of all types of periphytic algae samples of pure culture, and carrying out the artificial mixed sample verification and field sample cross validation optimization of the mixed model, an environment factor compensation coefficient is introduced to correct an error; the method comprises the following steps: performing pretreatment and fluorescence detection on a to-be-detected algae sample, inputting an obtained mixed fluorescence spectrum into a preset mixed algae fluorescence intensity-biomass quantification model, performing spectrum unmixing based on a non-negative least square method, and outputting the biomass of each category of periphytic algae in the to-be-detected sample. The method can solve the problem of rapid classification of mixed periphytic algae, has the characteristics of no dependence on manual judgment, easy standardization, high efficiency and expandability, can realize in-situ detection without destroying algae communities, and is suitable for the fields of water environment monitoring and ecological research.

A method for improving acidification of paddy field soil and application thereof

ActiveCN116830850BSoil-working methodsSoil sciencePeriphyton
The application belongs to the technical field of soil improvement, and particularly relates to a method for improving acidification of paddy field soil and application thereof. By adding slow-release calcium peroxide in an organic-inorganic composite carrier, slow reaction of the slow-release calcium peroxide with water is facilitated, and then oxygen and OH ‑ are released, and the acidification of the paddy field is continuously improved; by appropriately adding the organic-inorganic composite carrier, the biomass and activity of the periphyton are improved, which is beneficial to eliminating the acid barrier of the gley soil paddy field and improving the effective fertility of the paddy field soil.
