Airborne coliphages from wastewater treatment facilities.
The emission (from wastewater treatment plants) of airborne coliphages that form plaques on two strains of Escherichia coli was investigated. Two activated-sludge and two trickling-filter plants were studied. Field sampling procedures used large-volume air samplers with recirculation devices. Coliphages were enumerated by a most-probable-number (MPN) procedure. Temperature, relative humidity, windspeed, and presence of sunlight were monitored. Concurrent samples of sewage were taken during each air-sampling run. Average coliphage levels in the airborne emissions of trickling-filter beds and activated-sludge units were 2.84 X 10(-1) and 3.02 X 10(-1) MPN/m3, respectively, for all positive observations, and sewage liquor concentrations from the sources were 4.48 X 10(5) and 2.94 X 10(6) plaque-forming units/liter, respectively, depending upon the E. coli host used for assay. This work establishes minimal airborne-coliphage concentrations from the plants studied. The procedures employed will be useful in evaluating the animal virus levels in these emissions.

Oxygen-nitrogen relationships in autotrophic nitrification.
Oxygen utilization by the autotrophic nitrifiers Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter was studied. Experimental evidence is presented which reflects the effect of carbon dioxide fixation on overall oxygen utilization in autotrophic nitrification. Measurement of dissolved oxygen and inorganic nitrogen changes indicates that oxygen-nitrogen ratios in inorganic nitrogen oxidation are equal to 3.22 parts (expressed in milligrams per liter) of oxygen per part of ammonia nitrogen oxidized to nitrite nitrogen and 1.11 parts of oxygen per part of nitrite nitrogen oxidized to nitrate nitrogen. These values rather than the stoichiometric ratios should be used in nitrogenous oxygen demand calculations.
