Kruger U, Bak F, Aamand J, Nybroe O, Badawi N, Smets B, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2018 Jan; 84(7). PMID: 29374034
In this study, we developed a method that provides profiles of community-level surface dispersal from environmental samples under controlled hydration conditions and enables us to isolate and uncover the diversity...

Tatari K, Gulay A, Thamdrup B, Albrechtsen H, Smets B
Chemosphere . 2017 May; 182:301-305. PMID: 28505572
Allylthiourea (ATU) and chlorate (ClO) are often used to selectively inhibit nitritation and nitratation. In this work we identified challenges with use of these compounds in inhibitory assays with filter...

Tatari K, Smets B, Albrechtsen H
Water Res . 2016 Jun; 101:402-410. PMID: 27295615
The biokinetic behavior of NH4(+) removal was investigated at different depths of a rapid sand filter treating groundwater for drinking water preparation. Filter materials from the top, middle and bottom...

Tatari K, Smets B, Albrechtsen H
Water Res . 2013 Oct; 47(16):6380-7. PMID: 24091186
A bench-scale assay was developed to obtain site-specific nitrification biokinetic information from biological rapid sand filters employed in groundwater treatment. The experimental set-up uses granular material subsampled from a full-scale...

Mutlu A, Vangsgaard A, Sin G, Smets B
Water Sci Technol . 2013 Aug; 68(3):514-21. PMID: 23925177
Start-up and operation of single-stage nitritation-anammox sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) for completely autotrophic nitrogen removal can be challenging and far from trivial. In this study, a step-wise procedure is developed...

Attard E, Poly F, Commeaux C, Laurent F, Terada A, Smets B, et al.
Environ Microbiol . 2009 Oct; 12(2):315-26. PMID: 19807778
Despite their role in soil functioning, the ecology of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, NOB, and their response to disturbances such as those generated by agricultural practices are scarcely known. Over the course...

Guisasola A, Chandran K, Smets B, Baeza J, Carrera J, Lafuente J
Water Sci Technol . 2006 Dec; 54(8):181-8. PMID: 17163027
Two-step nitrification models are generally calibrated using short-term respirometric batch experiments. Important discrepancies appear between model predictions and experimental observations just after the pulse addition since a fast transient in...

Chandran K, Hu Z, Smets B
Water Sci Technol . 2006 Feb; 52(10-11):503-8. PMID: 16459827
Several techniques have been proposed for biokinetic estimation of nitrification. Recently, an extant respirometric assay has been presented that yields kinetic parameters for both nitrification steps with minimal physiological change...

Morrow J, Stratton R, Yang H, Smets B, Grasso D
Environ Sci Technol . 2005 Sep; 39(17):6395-404. PMID: 16190192
Subsurface biobarriers can be conceived to attenuate the migration of pathogens by adhesion to mineral surfaces. Candidate biobarrier materials of varied surface characteristics (dolomite, alpha-alumina, silica, pyrophyllite, and Pyrax (a...
