A piscicultura é o setor mais popular da aquicultura e o Brasil tem grande potencial para desenvolvimento da atividade devido às características do país e ao aumento no consumo de peixes. O reservatório de Chavantes, no Médio Rio Paranapanema, possui diversas pisciculturas de tanques-rede com criação de tilápias. No entanto, esses sistemas são intensivos com altas densidades de estocagem e de fornecimento de ração, o que pode ser prejudicial para a qualidade da água e saúde dos animais, trazendo conseqüências ecológicas, econômicas e sociais. Aeromonas e Pseudomonas estão entre os principais patógenos de peixes, porém, no ambiente e na produção de uma piscicultura, uma grande variedade de micro-organismos pode ser identificada sem provocar doenças nos animais, mas sendo via de transmissão de agentes patogênicos para o homem, como Salmonella sp e Staphylococcus aureus. A determinação de coliformes termotolerantes também é de grande importância na vigilância da contaminação por patógenos nos sistemas de criação de peixes. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de pescados tilápia-do-Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) criados em sistema de tanques-rede no reservatório de Chavantes (médio rio Paranapanema, SP), bem como a qualidade da água e da ração nesses sistemas. As análises foram feitas em quatro ciclos de produção, dois de verão e dois e inverno, através da pesquisa de Pseudomonas sp, Salmonella sp, S. aureus e coliformes termotolerantes (CTe) nos pescados, Salmonella sp e CTe na água e Salmonella na ração. No primeiro ciclo de verão, 8% das amostras de peixes estavam contaminadas com Aeromonas, 4% com Pseudomonas sp e 37,3% das amostras com NMP de CTe/g acima de 103.

Fish farming is the most popular modality of aquaculture and Brazil has great potential for this activity due to its characteristics and increased consumption of fish. The Chavantes reservoir, at Middle Paranapanema River has several fish farms using cages to create tilapia. However, these systems are intensive and therefore use high stocking and feeding densities, which can be detrimental to water quality and animal health. Aeromonas and Pseudomonas are among the main pathogens of fish, but a variety of micro-organism can be identified in the environment and in a fish farm without causing disease in animals, but them can act as a route of disease transmission to humans, as those caused by Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. The fecal coliforms determination is also important in surveillance of the contamination by pathogens in fish farming systems. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of Nile-tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) cultivated in cages in Chavantes reservoir (Middle Paranapanema River, SP) and water and feed quality in these systems. Analyses were done during four production cycles, two in the summer and two in the winter, by researching Aeromonas sp, Pseudomonas sp, Salmonella, S. aureus and thermotolerant coliforms (TC) in fish, Salmonella and TC in water and Salmonella in feed samples. In the first summer cycle, 8% of the fish samples were contaminated with Aeromonas sp, 4% with Pseudomonas sp and 37.3% with over 103 MPN TC/g. There were no samples with Salmonella or S. aureus. The first winter cycle presented 10% of fish samples with Aeromonas sp, 6.1% with Pseudomonas sp, 1.1% with S. aureus, Salmonella in 0.5% and 58.9% above the allowed limit for TC/g.

Abstract:
Oomycetes are a diverse group of organisms with worldwide distribution. The phylum contains a large number of pathogenic species which cause immense damage to both animal and plant host species in cultured, managed and wild ecosystems. As such, the majority of research is focused on host-pathogen interactions and the environmental study of oomycetes is greatly neglected. However, due to their devastating economic and ecological effects it is becoming increasingly clear that oomycete ecology and diversity studies are vital to the monitoring and management of diseases caused by oomycete species. By studying oomycete diversity, we further expand our knowledge of species ecological adaptation, distribution and host ranges, allowing for development of improved biosecurity systems. The diversity of oomycete species within the biogeographically important Falkland Island archipelago was assessed. The Islands contained relatively low oomycete species diversity, with a total of twenty-five species identified, in nine genera; Pythium s. str., Phytopythium, Saprolegnia, Leptolegnia, Newbya, Achlya, Elongisporangium, Globisporangium and Phytophthora. Thirteen of the identified species from the Falkland Islands were putative novel species, within the genera; Saprolegnia, Leptolegnia, Newbya, Pythium s. str., Phytopythium and Elongisporangium. Four of these putative novel species were confirmed as novel taxa through the morphological and molecular analyses presented herein. A fifth species requires further analyses to confirm the taxonomic position. One of the presented species was mildly pathogenic towards Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) eggs, while another was pathogenic towards ryegrass (Lolium sp.) seedlings. These results expand our knowledge of oomycete taxonomy and provide further knowledge of pathogenic oomycete species.

Full text
Abstract:
The global increase in livestock and poultry production observed in the last decades has led to an increase in animal waste generated. The animal waste contains high levels of nitrogen and may carry antibiotics that can disturb important microbial activities such as denitrification in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Disturbances of microbial denitrification can have detrimental consequences to environmental health. In the terrestrial environment, denitrification is an important source and sink of N2O, a potent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. In aquatic ecosystems, denitrification is a dominant NO3- removal pathway, contributing to prevent eutrophication. The overall goal of this dissertation is to evaluate the impacts of animal waste and potential antibiotic exposure on microbial communities responsible for denitrification in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. To achieve this goal, a combined approach of measuring activity rates and performing a molecular characterization of the microbial communities was used. In Chapter 2, the microbial community changes associated with the impacts of acute antibiotic exposure on denitrification were evaluated in soil microcosms. Antibiotic exposure caused a significant increase in N2O production from denitrification. This increase was paralleled with a greater ratio of fungi:bacteria abundance and lower abundances of particular taxa with N2O reduction capacity. In Chapter 3, the impacts of animal manure and antibiotic contamination on N2O fluxes and the abundance of denitrification genes were investigated in soil mesocosms. N2O fluxes in soils treated with manure fertilizer and tetracycline were considerably higher than in control soils. The manure fertilization and antibiotic exposure had diverse effects on different bacterial taxa responsible for N2O production. In Chapter 4, the denitrification activity and microbial community structure in tidal creek sediments impacted by wastewater discharge from a poultry processing plant were evaluated through a field survey and a microcosm experiment. Denitrification rates were inhibited in the location affected by the wastewater discharge. This decrease in denitrification activity was associated with changes in the microbial community structure, such as a lower relative abundance of bacterial taxa carrying denitrification genes and lower abundance of N2O reducing bacteria. In Chapter 5, the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes were evaluated in a tidal creek impacted by wastewater discharge from a poultry processing plant. The numbers of antibiotic resistance genes were higher in the location closer to the wastewater discharge, suggesting an historic antibiotic exposure associated with the activity of the poultry processing plant. Overall, this work provides new knowledge of the impacts of animal waste and antibiotics on N2O emissions in terrestrial ecosystems and microbial NO3- removal in aquatic ecosystems. This dissertation emphasizes the functional importance of microbial communities to ecosystem health and their responses to anthropogenic disturbance.

Abstract:
Background: The leading cause of surface water impairment in United States’ rivers and streams is pathogen contamination. Although use of fecal indicators has reduced human health risk, current approaches to identify and reduce exposure can be improved. One important knowledge gap within exposure assessment is characterization of complex fate and transport processes of fecal pollution. Novel modeling processes can inform watershed decision-making to improve exposure assessment. Methods: We used the ecological model, Maxent, and the fecal indicator bacterium Escherichia coli to identify environmental factors associated with surface water impairment. Samples were collected August, November, February, and May for 8 years on Sinking Creek in Northeast Tennessee and analyzed for 10 water quality parameters and E. coli concentrations. Univariate and multivariate models estimated probability of impairment given the water quality parameters. Model performance was assessed using area under the receiving operating characteristic (AUC) and prediction accuracy, defined as the model’s ability to predict both true positives (impairment) and true negatives (compliance). Univariate models generated action values, or environmental thresholds, to indicate potential E. coli impairment based on a single parameter. Multivariate models predicted probability of impairment given a suite of environmental variables, and jack-knife sensitivity analysis removed unresponsive variables to elicit a set of the most responsive parameters. Results: Water temperature univariate models performed best as indicated by AUC, but alkalinity models were the most accurate at correctly classifying impairment. Sensitivity analysis revealed that models were most sensitive to removal of specific conductance. Other sensitive variables included water temperature, dissolved oxygen, discharge, and NO3. The removal of dissolved oxygen improved model performance based on testing AUC, justifying development of two optimized multivariate models; a 5-variable model including all sensitive parameters, and a 4-variable model that excluded dissolved oxygen. Discussion: Results suggest that E. coli impairment in Sinking Creek is influenced by seasonality and agricultural run-off, stressing the need for multi-month sampling along a stream continuum. Although discharge was not predictive of E. coli impairment alone, its interactive effect stresses the importance of both flow dependent and independent processes associated with E. coli impairment. This research also highlights the interactions between nutrient and fecal pollution, a key consideration for watersheds with multiple synergistic impairments. Although one indicator cannot mimic the plethora of existing pathogens in water, incorporating modeling can fine tune an indicator’s utility, providing information concerning fate, transport, and source of fecal pollution while prioritizing resources and increasing confidence in decision making.

Surman, Susanne Barbara. "The integration of an avirulent Legionella pneumophila into aquatic biofilms." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 1994. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/1773/.

Full text
Abstract:
A continuous culture model system was set up in the laboratory and inoculated with a diverse range of microorganisms, including several bacteria and protozoa, obtained from the local mains water tap supply. This inoculum and was added to the system without any prior culture or other selection process. Biofilms readily developed on glass tiles suspended in the planktonic phase of the system. An avirulent Legionella pneumophila was inoculated into the system and was subsequently isolated from both biofilms and also from the aqueous(planktonic) phase of the chemostat. The attenuation of this strain, determined by its inability to cause disease and death in guinea pigs, remained unaltered despite the long term survival of this strain within the system. Investigations to determine whether the avirulent L. pneumophila was able to infect and proliferate within protozoa were carried out. The results of the present study show that this avirulent L. pneumophila did not proliferate intracellularly and suggest that the association of L. pneumophila with protozoa although probably important in the long term survival of this bacterium especially during periods where adverse conditions prevail, is not essential but opportunistic. In chapter 3 the importance of the presence of these non-legionellae bacteria, which included Flavobacterium sp., Acinetobacter spp. and several species of Pseudomonas, was investigated. The results suggest that the presence of the non-legionellae are relevant to the survival of Legionella especially in environments which favour it's growth, for example water distribution systems. In order that we may gain a further insight into the ecology of microorganisms in their natural environment, it is necessary to visualise them in conditions which allow them to interact in a way which mimics as closely as possible the natural environment. Biofilms were developed on surfaces which could be removed from the model system in their entirety. Direct visualisation techniques, including atomic force microscopy and Hoffman modulation microscopy could then be used which allowed the in vivo examination of biofilms in situ on the surface upon which they had developed. More traditional microscopy methods were also used. Atomic force microscope images of biofilms and individual biofilm bacteria including Legionella were obtained, which clearly showed the presence of exopolymeric substances (EPS). Hoffman modulation contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed the diverse nature of the biofilms being studied. The results of these investigations suggest that a more complete understanding of the complex nature of biofiims is achieved by the use of a combination of several microscopy techniques. The response of a L. pneumophila serogroup 6 and the avirulent L. pneumophila serogroup 1 to a commercially available biocide, Vantocil IB, was investigated. Both the serogroup 6 and the avirulent serogroup 1 could not be detected following biocide teatment in either the planktonic phase or biofilms. These results suggest that this avirulent L. pneumophila is a suitable model substitute for the virulent L. pneumophila.

Full text
Abstract:
The Hollow Fiber Diffusion (HFD) system is a novel approach for the in situ study of the survival of bacteria and viruses in the aquatic environment. The HFD system employs a tangential flow, hollow fiber cartridge with a large area $(7 \times 10\sp3$ cm$\sp2$) of exchange surfaces for diffusion. When compared with diffusion chambers, the HFD system responded significantly faster and more accurately to changes in pH, Eh, nutrient concentrations and to the presence of disinfectants in the external aqueous environment. The T$\sb$ diffusion of low molecular weight substrates was 0.6 h for the HFD system but was 4.2 h for the diffusion chamber. The rate of diffusion or equilibration could be further improved by increasing the flow rate through the HFD system or reducing the volume of the sample reservoir. The HFD system was compatible with all test bacteria and viruses with the possible exception of tailed coliphages. The inactivation of tailed phages by the HFD system can be reduced or eliminated using a slower flow rate or larger diameter hollow fibers. Tailed coliphage inactivation in the HFD system was not apparent in natural waters. Neither adsorption of microorganisms to the hollow fiber membrane surfaces nor colonization of those surfaces was found to be a significant problem during its use in natural waters. A protocol for the decontamination and reuse of the hollow fiber cartridges using hydrogen peroxide was developed and applied successfully. The results of trials of the HFD system at five field sites suggests that the HFD system permits "real-time" accommodation to changes in the physicochemical parameters of the external aqueous environment which can influence the survival of microorganisms. Differences in the survival of microorganisms in the HFD system and in batch samples were shown. The HFD system demonstrated regrowth of Escherichia coli in the Rideau River which is an eutrophic, temperate river. It also demonstrated a diurnal inactivation pattern for Enterococcus durans with the slower decay of E. durans numbers in the hours of darkness. For the other water sources tested (the Ottawa River, the Kennedy Burnett Stormwater Ponds, the Gombak River and the Kroh River), the general order of survival of test microorganisms was MS-2 coliphage $>$ poliovirus $>$ phage B $>$ E. coli and E. durans. In the Rideau River, the order of survival was E. coli $>$ poliovirus $>$ MS-2 coliphage $>$ E. durans. Surprisingly, there was no significant difference in the survival of microorganisms in the two equatorial rivers compared with the survival of the organisms in the oligotrophic, temperate Ottawa River. The HFD system will be very useful in studying the survival and natural ecology of microorganisms in the aquatic environment. It can be applied to model the behavior of water quality indicators, pathogenic organisms and genetically engineered microorganisms. It also has potential for ecotoxicological studies, monitoring for toxins or pollutants in the environment and for the in-line monitoring of the efficiency of water treatment processes such as chlorination.
