Dedicated remediation of contaminated land - Characterisation of the microbial communities during in situ aeration
Abstract
The study deals with the identification and monitoring of microorganisms (fungi, eubacteria, and archeabacteria) in old landfill sites and changes of the microbial community during in situ aeration. Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) (for the characteraition of fungi and eubacteria) and phospholipid etherlipids (PLELs) (for characterization of archeabacteria) techniques are used and the extraction method is adapted to old waste material. Knowledge of the involved microorganisms will help us to optimize environmental conditions for these groups, in order to achieve good degradation i.e. fast stabilization of the old waste material. Besides, changes in composition and amount of the microorganisms during aerobisation will occur and we want to verify, if these changes in the community can be used as another microbial based stabilization index.
