00:01 Yeah, yeah. What's that? , your season is over.

00:29 folks, welcome hope he had somewhat a break. Not everybody was studying

00:35 of him to last week. I'm glad you can't have your head

00:43 the books all the time. Um , so Today we're getting beginning at

00:54 last, I guess about 2.5 Really. So, um and so

01:04 , When I cut out of the schedule, basically week 13 takes us

01:08 the 30s am But we're already starting four in that period. And then

01:14 week 14 and 15 is the So we're rapidly coming to a close

01:20 . So, um, let's So obviously, you know, exam

01:27 the end of the week this um let's see. Weekly quiz.

01:32 we're back on the weekly quizzes. I have one of those this week

01:37 sunday. No, smart work is . So, um uh the weekly

01:44 will just cover um really is what talking about today. So it's uh

01:50 21 22 which is relatively short. mean by no means, is that

01:54 entire entirety of either chapter and I'll you something like that in a

01:58 So if there's a flipped class, which is the next thursday, I'll

02:08 stuff up for that on this So I'll give you a week,

02:12 week, a week before I'll have a video covering that material so you

02:18 watch. Um let's see. So will be some overlap. So today

02:25 kind of an extension of the metabolism we've been talking about in the

02:31 More of ecology, I guess you'd microbial ecology. So you'll see some

02:36 that we talked about before the election . Um So, Um uh so

02:44 be some overlap. But the point , is that what we're talking about

02:48 and ford is of course, for , three, not for game

02:52 So, uh if you have obviously you have questions, last minute questions

02:58 anything about the content, for you I'm available. So, certainly

03:06 from officers. What have you can't officers? You can schedule another

03:11 That's fine. So, uh if need resource, I'm here.

03:17 Um what else? I think I got any questions arising. Okay.

03:26 . So let's so what we want bring the show was um this so

03:34 pay attention to to to they don't into areas that we're not talking

03:39 Right? So, in this in talk today, But 21,

03:47 So it's just pages, right? pages of the fifth edition.

03:53 So only one section of 21.6. and even that she was like half

03:58 the section, if that much. , And then only two sections of

04:02 22. So, the point is stick to what this is telling.

04:06 don't read the entire chapters of both two things. Right? Um So

04:11 gonna cover here is um uh kind prospects. So, what's what treatment

04:20 of the basics of how that Right. Um We all have where

04:26 live Uh you probably won't see They're kind of hidden behind 12 fence

04:30 typically uh are your municipal wastewater treatment which are in nearby all of our

04:38 we live in. And uh I'm sure it's located on campus though they

04:42 something nearby. Uh How about how works? Kind of the basics of

04:47 that works? And then the other of this is um um um National

04:54 importance of that. The uh what be some downfalls pitfalls of having access

05:04 nitrogen and phosphorus in the environment. obviously all these processes particularly with treatment

05:12 natural cycle heavily microbial cycle, bacteria and others as well see. Okay

05:23 um so let's look at uh the cycle which is kind of in the

05:29 of hydro hydrological cycle. The water . And I think we're all we're

05:34 aware of this um mater rainfall uh over ground through the ground by gravity

05:45 course collection streams and rivers and Um Then of course evaporation bring into

05:52 atmosphere and rainfall brings it back So that cycle continues. Right?

05:56 all know about that. So are want to focus on is as the

06:01 travels through the court's gonna pick you know what's in the soil and

06:06 and acquire systems and and and that's they of course contribute to the organic

06:12 . Right? So there's this term B. O. D.

06:16 Biochemical oxygen demand. So that that to the matter of organic material that's

06:23 . Okay. And so as water these things up um for example uh

06:33 right that represents a monarch of water the treatment system that's carrying all this

06:43 right? And in order to provide drinking water right we gotta get rid

06:48 that. And you want to drink water that's full of B.

06:51 D. Okay you want to be clear water. So um so of

06:58 microbes that do that work of and what we're talking about. And chewing

07:04 is what we've already been talking about , forgetting to write their respiration as

07:10 matter of explanation as well. And get some fermentation to it's always process

07:16 doing the right things we've already talked now. We're just looking at it

07:20 kind of a this is an ecological so to speak. Okay so um

07:31 that can occur is if you have lot of money coming into the

07:36 Well he wrote the restoration right? what we'll chew it up. And

07:42 restoration means you're using often write a of D. O. D.

07:46 into an environment but carol there will up their preparation and the process removes

07:53 from the system and that's where the occur. Problems to other life

07:58 Right higher order life forms, fish cetera in aquatic systems. So let's

08:05 look at D. O. O. K. So modern can

08:11 shifted so you can see the Okay? So B. And

08:15 Measurements. So these are done. Certainly wastewater treatment systems of operations.

08:22 this all the time. Okay. monitor their system. They want to

08:27 , okay, here's what's coming into treatment system. Okay. And we

08:31 through the different stages of processing it then it comes out at some

08:36 Okay. So at different points you're want to check well how good does

08:40 work? Is the B. D. Their gang material being chewed

08:44 ? Okay. Facility examples. And measure, right? And the measurement

08:48 what's called. Right. And um looking at this analysis of four samples

08:57 the bot analysis what sample had? lowest B. O. D.

09:03 . So you're probably guessing by the on here, right? You're measuring

09:11 fast oxygen is going away. And standard. Okay. It's going away

09:17 it's microbial activity. Right? And a fast rate versus a plateau or

09:26 nobody. Okay. It's indicating Yeah. So um let's see what

09:35 got here first. My little So um mm hmm. Okay.

10:05 . So the sample with the lowest . O. V. S mm

10:10 . Yeah, it's deep. D. Lowest D. O.

10:14 . O. K. So PNG to the, so we got 100

10:24 sugar example. And I have one of sugar. I mean the rate

10:29 is going to be some sort of is going to be very fast.

10:33 know when you have a lot of is what's going down very quickly.

10:36 A has the highest level organic Be the Knight C. And then

10:43 nothing there. Okay because there's nothing then there's nothing no option to consume

10:49 low levels of material. Okay so bot equates to a lot of auction

10:56 consumed because it's anaerobic. I mean respiration that's going on. Okay.

11:02 so the and so the way you this in the lab as you see

11:09 with this person with a number of lot of samples up in the upper

11:13 quadrant. There there's this probe. there we go. Right here.

11:22 actually sitting in the jar. So part of the post immersed in the

11:26 here and of auction probe measured amount dissolved often in the system. Okay

11:32 so you're looking to see is that going down? How fast is it

11:37 down? And that correlates to the of organic material presence? Okay.

11:41 can have more fancier systems that will can measure it may be continuously.

11:49 water is continuously coming in. And um you have a deal probe

11:54 and there's a measure that continuously. . Instead of taking samples like this

11:59 bring them into the lab and measuring different times. You can do it

12:03 in china. Um All of course controlled. Okay now um and again

12:10 is this is what they do at local municipal water system. Um And

12:18 let's see. Here we go. value. Okay. What what is

12:23 when we're talking about these values of put that in the context?

12:29 So water going into a like suits raw suit. Okay. That's gonna

12:35 a blog of 600 is actually a salty water. Okay, so when

12:44 saturated it's about eight mg per your . Okay. So you can see

12:50 a lot of organic presence. And it gets acted upon that option

12:58 have to fall very much as a of that bacterial activity to lower this

13:04 when this gets to be around maybe five or 4 then that's the dangerous

13:10 . Right? So danger to, know, these larger aquatics organ

13:15 Right. And these kind of That's when it becomes a danger to

13:19 when the levels get down that. um and we've seen one this has

13:29 to have been massive fish kills and streams and things like that.

13:34 And we'll talk about that in a . So um so for example

13:39 so the Mississippi river. Okay. a humongous river that spans uh from

13:47 to south. Okay. In the of the country. Um All along

13:52 is going through obviously not just urban , but certainly lots of agricultural areas

13:58 the outside. Right. And uh things are put into the river.

14:05 you don't know what you're on though people flush different types of pollutants and

14:09 are waste. Um in some cases agricultural areas, the presence of

14:15 right, excess fertilizer usage, rating runoff and constantly coming into the water

14:20 well. And of course fertilizers and phosphorus or engine nutrients, they're typically

14:26 in the environment. So when you an influx of these things that can

14:31 microbes to grow right very quickly, can lead to bad effects in the

14:37 . Okay, so oil school for is obviously because obviously high.

14:46 And so that's a that's a carbon . Right? So that's the end

14:49 the reference neighborhood restoration can utilize that Zones along the coast, this is

14:57 the horizon oil spill. Uh several ago 2010 um that creates these areas

15:05 very low option, what they called areas. Okay. And these are

15:11 that are very devoid of life for awesome levels are so low. Um

15:19 again this influx of these nutrients coming right here uh by accident or through

15:29 from agricultural areas. These kind of accumulate causing these bursts of growth of

15:35 and create these effects. Okay, uh so this comes kind of comes

15:42 the next topic here which is hand hand with what we just talked

15:45 So see if you can figure this out. So eutrophication is this process

15:54 of how old influx of nutrients can to X, Y and Z.

16:02 that ultimately are detrimental impact. um let's see how you do

16:10 They're not sure it's fine. We're explain it in the next couple of

16:28 . I'm sure you've heard of Um bursts of allergy occur in the

16:38 of Mexico that have these toxins and fish that way. But also the

16:45 of this kind of process. Mm . Hey, winding down.

17:26 All right. Mm. Okay. if you did answer. D as

17:36 dog, that is correct. So it actually results in a decreased

17:43 content not increased initially. There is increase in the content of photosynthetic types

17:50 decrease. Um eventually the eutrophication process leads to death of algae and

18:00 Okay. But it doesn't it's not process that kills them off. They

18:03 burst in in in in terms of initially. Okay, but the end

18:09 is d okay, as we're gonna through right now. Okay, so

18:14 really is of, as I Mississippi river flowing through these agricultural areas

18:20 can be yeah, any any bible adjoining a land is used for growing

18:29 or cattle headed that for that Okay, run a rainfall creates runoff

18:38 the material to go into nearby Rivers will have you. And that

18:43 that represents of course an influx of phosphorus. Okay. And that's fairly

18:51 in ecosystems. And so when there's influx then, you know, normally

18:57 the balance, like all the organisms are in that environment, microbes and

19:02 . Now you can add this excessive , but there's certain ones that can

19:07 that great equipment. Right? And it's posted. Right. And so

19:15 and that typically is um your there's a fix him too. All

19:23 . Have somebody, Well, you that from the phosphorus excess of

19:30 They call them blues for that. they grow rapidly and the large quantities

19:38 a map of growth on top of water. And then of course that

19:47 dense growth cannot be sustained once they've up the excess nitrogen phosphorus, then

19:54 no more available. Right? And can't sustain that matter of growth

19:58 Right. So they're gonna die. ? And so they will fall to

20:04 bottom. Okay. And now here where you get this down the way

20:10 is where the bacteria did it. . So in the sediments certainly lots

20:14 bacteria and others and that's a food for them. Right to your head

20:19 now attack the humongous food source for . Um because the eligible lights,

20:26 nine so they can store uh they're interiors right. So now it's available

20:34 uh of course and aerobic respiration. . Will remove water. I'm

20:40 oxygen from the water. Okay, we're not talking about that. I

20:45 remember when I said the removal of . It's not like it's going to

20:50 , right? You know, the oxygen in the water. And we

20:54 to drop to maybe like four. right. But it can get lower

21:01 on how much I think the bloom and falls down. But you got

21:07 go to zero. You can get effects and you get 4543, then

21:13 then fish are gonna be stressed and dying that Okay. Um And

21:19 so there's been um completing the in Northeast, there have been instances were

21:26 the combination of of of influx of like this ward and addition of organic

21:33 , uh factories on on these uh , extremes pumping pollutants in the

21:39 which organic material that leads to the similar effect. Okay. And fish

21:45 w All right, So it's it's an issue at times. Um But

21:52 , all driven by, you aerobic respiration. Microbes sucking using auction

21:57 they metabolize. Okay. Um So questions about this. Okay. All

22:05 . So, you know, it's the stuff we've been talking about.

22:08 just kind of not in a in pliant way we're talking about it

22:13 in in in a ecosystem ecological Okay. Um So you mentioned earlier

22:21 municipal wastewater treatment systems and this would a typical size. You see uh

22:29 serve about Houston these are your, may have heard your parents talk about

22:36 taxes. That's municipal utility district that's the operation of these things. Um

22:44 they simply services probably 150 200 Holmes difficult in fact. Um And so

22:54 treatment systems for the purpose of producing is one of the ones with one

23:01 but there's many many next actually plants the country but also have their own

23:10 treatment system because they released sort of and things as part of the

23:16 And you can't just dump those into stream. Right? They have to

23:21 lower in terms of content of O. D. And and depending

23:26 what the releasing we have to bring down to a certain level to make

23:31 leads into the water. So they'll discharge the material into a similar

23:38 Okay, markers can bring it down the in the water. And so

23:45 he's always very um Georgia pacific that you're on your paper products, couple

23:52 and printer paper etcetera. It's I don't know it because I used

23:59 be one of the come back to for one of the half the business

24:03 this kind of wastewater treatment. And one of the things about this part

24:08 treating systems is they can get Okay because this far certain chemicals that

24:15 or unknowingly the company goes, this is a little too toxic do

24:18 kill the microbes in my system, not gonna recover. Right? And

24:22 where the company my company. so um the point is, is

24:33 not only is it, but be to you oftentimes companies that water treatment

24:42 that use these, I actually dig um these man made lagoons and it's

24:47 there where they'll do the treatment Okay. Much economically, much cheaper

24:52 than to build one of these big and have a treatment system in

24:57 Anyway. Okay, so obviously this is again is occurs to the action

25:04 microbes. Right? The these kind things we've been talking about.

25:10 So the typical treatment system. Um honestly, the bottom line here

25:18 hi going in. Okay, you to knock that down to nearly

25:25 Right. Obviously. Lord and I that. I never learned for drinking

25:29 and had to be near here. And so that's one. So

25:37 the the very important parameter is you sedimentation to occur, right? You

25:45 like a brownish looking that would come , You can't even see what something

25:51 . Okay, but at the end the clear. Okay, so you

25:55 that stuff to settle out. so you want to break it down

25:58 then you wanted to also. so you have a clear effluent is

26:04 . And so segmentation settling of they are very important to the

26:12 Um And yes micro is gonna break stuff down. That's what you want

26:18 happen. Right? Remember not only raw organic material in the system has

26:25 broken down with the O. Okay. Remember the cells themselves

26:31 represents blog as well. Okay everybody this in this room for example to

26:37 considered bot collectively all our bodies RB RB lb of this room one

26:45 so that it sells themselves. So you don't sells microbes are punching

26:49 stuff down right and digesting it. want to sell themselves to actually settle

26:55 as well because you need more clear water. So as you go through

27:02 you see this right? So be Lord, that's your microbial capitalist

27:08 But then instead of the table, everything out. And so um and

27:14 it begins with of course you can't what comes into a sewer treatment

27:19 Okay, wastewater treatment plant um and begin with what's called um extraordinary treatment

27:26 is basically a big big grates almost that will trap large particles and by

27:36 I mean you can have car tires into this thing, right? You

27:40 have a dead animal carcass coming into thing. Okay so these tracks is

27:44 of big objects right? Then of you go down to smaller uh in

27:50 primary treatment the smaller screens to keep more insightful particles. Right? And

27:57 you get to the secondary people and where the microbes are doing their

28:04 Okay So you see here I have views treatment plant. Sure, so

28:13 the very large kind of screens with they call it good stuff. Then

28:20 screens to trap more inside of smaller particles. And finally here is where

28:25 action occurs. Okay. And so up here is called activated sludge.

28:31 of that as the the broth culture my culture. That's you're activated

28:39 Okay, active because actually metabolizing metabolizing down the blog. Okay um so

28:52 so Churchill treatment. So once it out so then in the secondary treatment

28:56 when you're having the microbe. Okay then that clarified we're going to tertiary

29:05 which can evolve. Okay. Um some cases they use UV light as

29:15 , it's a fact track. Um so that may go to become uh

29:21 the water or if it's not a are you planning on another part of

29:25 treatment plant, they can just discharged the water and there have been sufficiently

29:31 down. Appropriate labs check. Um see. Okay so of course the

29:39 wastewater treatment are for water uh coronations certainly pageants and things like as

29:48 So let's take another view of this . Okay so you get high baby

29:55 in here's your big screens and they're screens and tight um and then activated

30:02 So this material against recycling set right? Um as it doesn't stay

30:09 out, it can interview over continuous, of course operation right?

30:17 be used over notice it's the actually again is the is the active

30:23 You will think that way. In the microbes that are doing doing their

30:27 . Okay. You also get some that will settle out as well.

30:34 . That aren't microbes that ourselves, is inside of the material here.

30:41 so uh so a ratio is gonna a big thing. Okay, we

30:47 to go back. Uh you can't it yet here. Alright, so

30:52 see this thing right here, You can actually walk on it if

30:55 wanted to. But underneath here, a big paddle blade if you

31:03 or a propeller almost, and it move. There's a motor here that

31:08 move it in a circular fashion. not fast, but yeah, we'll

31:13 the great, but what does increase after mixing mixes air. Alright,

31:21 that's very, of course, So, we're trying to do

31:26 just blade will move. It's really whole uh, the tank here.

31:33 , great courtesans. Mixing, That's what the operation. It's all

31:38 . Okay, so you see Yes, it's oration. Right?

31:44 yeah, really extend. Um there's ways. It's done, but typically

31:49 is through, you can use but pattern that's rotating in the

31:57 the next and the next era. the most high in the world.

32:03 . And so as much as before infection can involved for me certainly mary

32:08 I also put UV light. Okay could have so now certainly the bacteria

32:20 are the ones intended use that are the lowering of you. Yeah but

32:28 is an ecosystem unto itself inside the not just about different types of bacteria

32:35 also protozoa was a very important as so all of them. So we

32:41 to do you see an optimal Sure Pro zones bacteria and particularly of

32:49 we call Filomena bacteria. Okay so goal is just remember obviously but since

32:59 selling stuff out okay so what you to do is to promote relatively flowed

33:06 the bacteria right? That will create network of fires films right? That

33:14 promote the selling right? The so bacteria called trucks aren't they feed on

33:21 organic material fact. And um also the healthy healthy system you'll see different

33:31 these protocols affiliated pro zones stopped which they were fixed in position by the

33:37 so big what they call a stock uh amoeba turner as well and serious

33:44 tactic angel seeing this water treatment plant in fact pro zone And those who

33:50 done this for a long time can can look at a sample and they

33:56 determine the kind of the age of uh of the system where it's at

34:02 health of the system? By looking one of the microbes spread that don't

34:07 these types of Brazilian types. Uh know healthy system has you know lots

34:13 the stock civilians. Um You'll see of these water bears, they call

34:19 here. Um crawling that indicates a system Cause of course lots of

34:28 Right? So all that together um a healthy system that's turning out and

34:37 that. So so this question to why the proposals. What's their importance

34:44 ? Okay. So what's going Right. So you want to

34:49 So these are what we call L. O. C.

34:53 So a healthy flock. And so write that here. So flocks are

35:03 collections of filaments like this? You these these are either filament bacterial

35:08 Okay many of them form these things . Like PHP. Write these kind

35:13 stars. Stars and PHP. Powers this can get excreted as well.

35:19 kind of served as like a speaker apple to bring these filaments together.

35:26 you have both these types of And you have what are called talking

35:33 contact. You want to switch between So these are swimmers. Okay.

35:39 so look so um so what would been whispering treatment lack of cultural

35:45 Okay um anybody have a guess educated otherwise? You didn't have microbial

35:57 Your cortisone is in there. Did get the second one? Why?

36:08 that With the Task Force 1? didn't hear the last part of the

36:15 . Right? So answer correctly. the this this may be perfectly.

36:22 this is what you want to know these flocks. Right? The question

36:26 of influence and uh this will set . Okay But these aren't necessarily said

36:34 right? Remember all this here? they're they're lowering beauty. Right?

36:41 the material they're chewing it and lowering the load. But remember these

36:47 R. P. M. So these cells are now this this

36:52 will set out like this filament. types that are start together we'll settle

36:57 like that. Okay these do not chronic bacterial. Alright so this whole

37:05 will eat them. Okay. And will help to remove that blog.

37:12 ? And so as as as these out and the Eurozone's lower the levels

37:20 tectonic bacteria right? As well because food source goes away. Remember is

37:29 in. Right? So what happened this stuff out? Pro zones will

37:34 the tectonic type. So collectively it's productivity goes deeper. Then this gets

37:41 of the rest of you. You want to have your last drink.

37:45 was drinking water. You have ahead time back here. So I mean

37:48 obviously you're giving away. Alright so has helped to maintain. Okay that's

37:55 it's all everybody working together here? . And so um again so flock

38:05 formation is what promotes good settling. these filaments come together so much this

38:11 of bacteria and the things they And of course this will also trap

38:16 of these plank tonic types and pro too. So they're all kind of

38:20 so well. Um And what's um are types of bacterial see? So

38:29 our our momentous types here. Other here as well. Seriously, these

38:37 flocks you're seeing here questions of fundamental . Uh some of the storage materials

38:42 form as well as protozoa wins. usually partisans crawling here's one swimmer

38:49 You'll see some stock city here, types crawling along bacterial filaments. So

38:57 but that represents a healthy system. , now, don't don't worry about

39:03 . I put this in there because of the tests they do in the

39:07 plant is to take a sample just out of the clear fire.

39:12 activated sludge In T. zero. then see how quickly the material

39:18 So you see it as we go is clear, right? And the

39:24 selling now? So you're trying to a house pathogen occurring to indicator of

39:29 operates. Alright. If it doesn't for a long time, there's something

39:34 wrong. Okay. One of the that can happen is um So you

39:41 you have formation of blocks like Let's just go back to my crew

39:47 here like this, but then it too much. You get too

39:53 Then what happens is basically becomes like mat on top of the water and

39:58 not what you get. You get performing through through uh metabolic activity.

40:05 kind of traps everything you get like grungy phone that occurs on top because

40:12 there's there's too much of this and don't really selling very well. So

40:15 comes like this phony layer on top that's not good either because that doesn't

40:21 good settling. So there's different things do. This is one of the

40:25 that the companies like I work for , you can come in and put

40:28 microbes in there, uh packets of storm and they're freeze dried and throw

40:34 in there, you know or the pop them in. We may have

40:39 they need to have nutrients attitude. another I guess all trying to promote

40:44 growth but in a balanced way, of, you know what kind of

40:49 for things. So it may be sometimes the systems are completely trashed because

40:57 company released something that I've heard of and just really kill everything.

41:01 So now we kind of started from to a degree and what you can

41:06 is let me go back to this here. No. Okay.

41:12 So you can actually, if there's , you know these treatment classism aren't

41:19 you? We have several. certainly subdivisions but also companies have their

41:25 and it's not unheard of to go a nearby treatment system. Say,

41:31 , let me have some re activated , You go to the tanker truck

41:34 something. But it and then they'll it into their system. It's

41:38 it's like, uh, you're not a protein based. So that

41:41 that's an option that can be done well. Take somebody's near my healthy

41:45 where there's no explosion. That's their going again. Right? So,

41:51 , anyway, this is way more what you know about treatment systems,

41:55 now you don't enjoy. Yeah. cases where you have overgrowth. Mm

42:05 . Um, what there's different, can also play with the engineering so

42:12 can control flow rates, right? maybe you pump it out a little

42:15 faster, you increase your flooring that kind of get those things aren't

42:19 It is with these types that can of get rid of them. So

42:24 you kind of the way first because always a continuous flow 24/7. And

42:30 you can speed things up if you to get rid of maybe some of

42:33 things you don't want. And then is certainly cover. So you may

42:36 to do some traditional microbes or maybe tricks or something. But you

42:40 you can also play with the non aspect as well, particularly.

42:45 yeah, yep. Um, so let's see. Okay, so

42:55 Alright, so this now will segue um yeah, nitrogen nitrogen cycling.

43:03 here's a couple of questions that relate that. This one you've we've talked

43:10 this before. Uh chapter 14. . Let's see if I remember this

43:29 . Mm hmm, mm hmm. . Okay. Any stragglers jump

44:15 Here we go. Okay. D the consensus. Let's look at the

44:22 question then we'll come back to that . Okay, So this one um

44:33 be in products of which processor Mhm Yeah. Alright, there we

45:22 . To one. And okay. who answered E as an eagle?

45:35 what are the two correct answers? . Oh, alright, fixation and

45:49 modification. Those processes processes will produce as we'll see. Okay,

45:56 uh so of course we're talking about we mentioned a number of times,

46:00 think already this semester, the nitrogen or triangle how your book says

46:05 Um so remember uh has lots of states. Okay. I guess the

46:15 of any of the major biological uh we deal with. Um which we

46:21 know, right? Because we we looked into 14 rights at these

46:25 and sulfur compounds in the context of um is it going to oxidized and

46:33 forms? Right, with the So things like uh at the top

46:39 . Right? That's what can be as a source of electrons by

46:44 write the electron transport system. That's a certain little folks can do

46:48 to any more. Um yeah. I'm sorry to send it back.

46:54 the more reduced state is at the right? Mode most reduced state.

46:58 stops by state to the most oxidized at the bottom. Right? So

47:04 most oxidized or at least reduced. that serves as a trouble accepted after

47:12 other. Not as a donor, as an accepted at the uh at

47:17 end of the electron transport system and respiration. Right. And so as

47:22 see here in the diagram you've seen , it's continuum of ammonium and nitrite

47:27 nitrate. And then closed reduction. two in 2. Okay, so

47:36 To the notification dissimulation. This represents represent all three sides. The

47:44 there's one side, one side, then up here is the other

47:51 Right? So baby nitrogen back in the environment from the atmosphere.

47:57 So uh certainly so again, Broken record here about the importance of

48:04 cycle is absolutely yes, we can about gentrification and access. Okay.

48:14 it's actually that's their right. Forget the excess that correctly. The fertilization

48:19 whatever. Okay. But actually that's becomes available is through this system.

48:25 information training. And so particularly the in terms of the metric fixation and

48:34 . Right. So these big nitrogen that others can use. Right.

48:39 remember that your your producers, Your plants, algae cyanobacteria RV bottom

48:46 within the ecosystem. Right. And most important because it's maybe they're the

48:53 for the other like other consumers. . And so you got to give

49:01 happy to keep the ecosystem happy. so availability of things like nitrogen phosphorus

49:08 these producers as okay. And so it's just my basically bacterial and cycle

49:17 that was gonna happen. Okay so so aside from we can call natural

49:26 fixation bacteria help you this the the way it's done is our question.

49:34 so the Haber Bosch process has been for a long time in 120 some

49:40 . Um but it's what's used by , people that Monsanto et cetera.

49:49 nitrogen and hydrogen. This this requires of pressure um requires a catalyst metal

49:58 of some sort I think excessive So it occurs under you know,

50:04 underachieved conditions right in the in the process industrial process but of course this

50:10 occurs not with the same story geometry it occurs also. And and the

50:16 this bacteria can do this. They do without the metal catalyst and

50:22 extreme temperatures impressions. So um now at the cycles we've seen before.

50:32 uh fixation of course is what brings measured from the answer into ecosystems that

50:38 aquatic or terrestrial into forms that are . Okay, the biggest contribution.

50:46 national fixation is a feature of very very species of bacteria right? Negative

50:56 positive. Um uh widely different Photo photographs. So many photographs can

51:04 as can many hair across. So spans a range of different types and

51:10 of bacteria. Okay. Which means it's the future that has likely passed

51:17 between bacteria through what we'll talk about week. Um horizontal gene transfer

51:26 It's transferred between between species. It's how it happened. Uh Many many

51:32 eons ago in fact. Um because house, can you explain that such

51:38 very good Iranian different material effects have proper right there. So totally unrelated

51:45 where this kind of method. Okay um and so also in this tribe

51:54 processes that are similar story and So some of these processes the measurement

52:02 used and part of my best to real acid is that correct? Others

52:08 just let go. Right and we the electrification is one of those.

52:13 so gentrification. Well let's just start . So Nigerian the atmosphere is fixed

52:20 systems um creating ammonium mari maya. are oxidized by little tropes notifications produce

52:30 nitrates and oxides and nitrate. And there are two classes of nitro

52:34 Once I take it from ammonia to . Others take it from nitrite to

52:40 . And these are the most oxidized the least reduced forms. These serve

52:48 terminal except ear's right. So again is what thieves can feed electronic transport

52:54 . This is what will be at end of. Okay so that would

52:57 to different levels of notification find into obviously will then cause I'm not going

53:04 leave the system. So it's this . Okay um now a modification.

53:12 so this occurs um when organic sources protein rich sources of proteins continuing glasses

53:22 contained in the media group. And so these are broken down that

53:26 release moment. Alright. And that can can be discriminatory. Might just

53:32 like yeah I'm not used in some . It can be a simple story

53:36 it can go both ways. Okay the of course identification and release of

53:46 that also affect ph so the environment can have effects in the soil or

53:51 sources. Um The and this is an issue. Okay bring it back

54:00 practical things. Um anybody have a tank if your fish. Yeah.

54:07 of the things of course is Nice and big farm fish, fish

54:13 contains high levels election and um bacteria the water came in created some modification

54:21 changes in your. That would be of that. Um Okay so actually

54:28 into fixation. Right so this um a critical process because it's how I

54:36 in the area is brought into the . The uh so as I mentioned

54:42 of the types of bacteria can do . Okay there's also two categories of

54:47 one category that we call free living . Right? And it's actually just

54:55 of feed himself. Yeah. The that's more significant um is the symbiotic

55:05 fixation. Okay. These are intimate of particular bacteria with particular plants.

55:11 they work together bacterial supply election to plant. And they have a course

55:18 return provides house and interest to the that So the symbiotic relationship that um

55:27 the process itself, the key enzyme is nitrogenous. Okay. And so

55:34 is the process of converting into ammonia a very very charity expensive process.

55:44 . One of the reasons why I realizing a plan to help out with

55:47 of the energy okay. Needed for . So the other thing is it's

55:52 very oxygen sensitive. It's poisoned by . Right? So this nitrogenous activity

56:00 fix them too is compartmentalized typically. . And um as you mentioned a

56:09 range of bacteria can do this will um and the types are the ones

56:13 form these associated with planks. Very common is the unionist plants.

56:18 are like your soybean plants, peanut um and similar attacks. Okay alfalfa

56:25 think for the clothes make like those are also types that have these relationships

56:32 bacteria to fix an action. So to logical formations these compartments where this

56:39 . Okay. And what kind of you'll see these little knobby things on

56:43 roots which is where uh he's actually affected plants that can fix my

56:51 Right, cyanobacteria. Right from the The filament is types and stuff like

56:59 every like 10th or so cell will a cell that differentiates into what's

57:06 All right. So the ones in the circle look themselves or the compartments

57:11 national fixation occurs. That's the the cells cells in between your typical on

57:17 term meditator. You're vegetative types of doing the usual metallics. Okay.

57:24 so you can remember so photosynthesis um . Right. So these cells are

57:31 be the 1-4 to synthesize. And course by compartmentalizing into hypnosis that are

57:36 affected by option is taking over. . So this is a world of

57:41 nitrogen eastern apartments here. Yeah. Now. Okay, so again it's

57:49 intimate relationship its chemical signals between the that bring them together. Okay.

57:57 The and one of the things about that that have these associations, these

58:03 can often live in very ah nutrient soils. So plants have an advantage

58:12 I have the pleasure to have that . Even the parent class can be

58:16 in sandy and sandy kind of soil are very different core you can do

58:20 they have these they're only nice supply the speech correct? Um So here's

58:27 so it all begins with um So in the soil surrounding groups.

58:35 chemicals will be certainly between both plants bacteria And these are called Flavin The

58:43 . Okay these are attracting drawing back at two the root and root hairs

58:51 and different. Not so about the with the bacteria on the plant.

58:58 so promoting this root hair curling. very important that kind of helps trapped

59:05 here and allows them to infect, what's called an infection thread. Okay

59:10 it's beginning here and then expands as travels into the into the plant.

59:19 so it will set up a differentiator this backdrop for me. Okay,

59:26 back to the road is definitely just a differentiating point of the cell.

59:31 basically imagine fixing factor. Okay so and uh multiple of these will form

59:42 in in the plant itself. So becomes this structure's backyard structure.

59:49 Can come sooner the hard structure. . And but again it's it's a

59:55 for fixing into. Okay so we look at um kind of diagram cross

60:02 here in the back building. Okay it is responding number one. You

60:11 to respond. So it doesn't inspire this area to do the N.

60:14 fixation http did not serve 18 th so so you have to maintain

60:22 So but that the system was also Reparation or two is at the end

60:31 but then both to himself can inhibit interpretation react. So what you

60:38 Right? Well that's where this enzyme in here called. You never

60:44 Okay. And like we have invited . So that's what it does the

60:51 . So it's analogous to approaching So the planet kind of regulates the supply

60:58 oxygen enough to maintain respiration but not much that it can poison the into

61:06 process. Right? So you see person nitrogenous. Okay. And 16

61:12 that's a lot of energy And So you have to maintain respiration.

61:19 got the angelus for for the process keep going. But and so the

61:24 of course that's that's produced that plants use that right to make uh you

61:29 , acids that then go to make . Right? So this obviously as

61:35 can see a association and currently But the is these types of associations

61:44 that fixed the bulk of into um so you actually the energy production two

61:59 in. Yeah. Um Okay. . Yeah. Um So biotic system

62:09 not after you. Um Good I think there are there are specific

62:22 products the plant has that it must been trying to have association with this

62:30 speech. So there is it's not the soul one way street.

62:36 Because it is a very specific association specific strains and specific plants strips.

62:43 because is produced by the plant. . Um and these chemo attractive were

62:50 by the plants and the web. there will be species specific. So

62:54 can have a number of different strains certain plant type. They would have

63:00 associations with specific bacterial types. So goes both ways. Is that

63:06 Alright. Any other? Yes. Okay so so so this is the

63:17 part of the right here. Um So yeah it's time knowledge.

63:24 one bacteria type can do both Um The ammonium to nitrite is not

63:36 there are two groups. 100 micro oxidize nitrite. We tracked and

63:43 Uh So let me just interject with fact plate. Right? Um This

63:50 something you want to be in Uh It's it's relevant to help you

63:55 this thing process of let me back for a second. So nice location

64:00 general. This is another biotechnology Uh that's been exploited again for back

64:08 the fish tanks right? Um or that whatever institutional hands uh fish important

64:17 like that where fish waste can lead this modification issue can poison pulling the

64:24 out of control. And so what think my company made it was made

64:30 right through these types. And have been harvested and we throw them in

64:35 that the product and subsequently for these tanks or other things like that because

64:41 surprise would eat the bologna that was by Fish boys awesome in the

64:48 So ah the okay so the circulatory without. Okay so you're familiar with

65:02 in that context might create except er this is and that would generally be

65:14 story process. A nitrite trade as accept er used nitrite and goes on

65:22 to down to the application. This is a signatory process. So

65:27 trade a signatory nitric production where nitrate converted back to ammonia pneumonia is being

65:35 to make a new assets. This be a similar story nitrate production process

65:41 um like I said, yeah, parts of the whole process have special

65:48 can be a similar story species and the enzymes they have. Exactly.

65:58 okay, we have to talk about excessive fertilizer um contains of course

66:03 right? And that can lead to issues we talked about before. Um

66:09 , in terms of The other like we talked about this already

66:15 the teen exploitation. So in the of reparations this right, so nitrate

66:21 I tried to actually, it's a gas. Alright so this similar story

66:26 created with right um the uh but my bad. Okay, let me

66:38 this. Okay, okay, so is again uh alternate route and again

66:47 is nitrite nitrate. Alright, so becomes reduced and using hydrogen as the

66:56 as the source of electrons it becomes . This becomes reduced. Okay,

67:01 is actually a dissimilar torrey pathway like is up here and the money is

67:07 in quarterly. This is let Okay um now so of course this

67:14 living room because we're using higher in um introducing and it's anaerobic, great

67:21 eternal accepted actually interrupt the process. the cemetery. Okay. Um

67:31 so this is kind of some of ecological impacts of again, uh

67:38 Okay, so there's not the coast India looking at these hypoxic zones here

67:45 it becomes anaerobic and you can have launching the identification going on and the

67:53 with that is okay, so high me again, Right. Reparations,

68:00 option on the water in the process using it optional. Let's go down

68:05 now you create and heroin environment or identification may take hold. Right?

68:12 so here's uh like trade, Gets used up. Right preparation.

68:20 . And that leads to the reduction nitrate. Right? So it's not

68:26 as nitrate reduced. Um then my is utilized as we go through the

68:36 process. Right? And so the point here is the production of into

68:42 nitrous oxide. Yes, that apparently a super potent greenhouse gas.

68:51 Much more so than C. Okay, so the unification going

68:56 this is the concern obviously the fact part of the these oceans off the

69:01 of India are hypoxic and you the void of lots of marine life

69:07 issue. But the fact that then top of that the identification, that

69:13 getting information of gas, very potent well as supporting, I should also

69:20 from ecosystem so all three of those are not good. And so again

69:25 is kind of microbial things, activities can occur uh that get my productive

69:35 influx into areas that are positive. . Um Now any questions what?

69:48 , so d application as we just process here. Alright. That one

69:55 of triangle, it was thought for longest time to be the major cast

70:00 of how into was formed more recently has been shown like this process is

70:11 one that accounts for the mostly into lost to the markets and Mark's

70:16 Okay, so polonium, it certainly the dough. Okay, like I'm

70:22 nitrite is being reduced natural gas. uh just found you know in this

70:31 called which is found heavily populated the . Right? And so because of

70:41 vastness of ocean boxing that that can for a lot of why you can

70:46 why that accounts for the majority of to being into the atmosphere.

70:52 Ah and I think just kind of of of the different parts of cycle

71:00 . So we've got to reach these . So again, the importance of

71:04 part and as well things can go . Okay, that's something huge.

71:15 , just try it, pollutants over over fertilizing these kinds of things to

71:20 you an activity that leads to bad that happen but again it's prompted by

71:28 humans are doing bad things or It's prompted, you know, all

71:35 . Um, I close that 778. Early expensive year. So

71:44 aware of that. See you on
