The first publication that considered an aquatic ecosystem as an analog of a bioreactor, with some specific features that were described in the paper.
This paper gave a revolutionary new insight into the main functions and identity of ecosystem as a bioreactor to maintain water quality;

Paradigm shift (in other words, a big change in conceptual framework in that area of science) made by this paper:
The conceptual framework Before this paper:
The primary function of ecosystems was thought to be: primary productivity;
The conceptual framework After publishing this paper:
It became clear that the primary function of ecosystems is not only primary productivity but also conditioning of their environment; in the case of aquatic ecosystems it is conditioning of aquatic environment, i.e. water self-purification.
Why it is important:
It is a contribution to scientific basis of water safety, water sustainability.
What happened afterwards, the further development in publications:
After publishing this article, the same author published a series of other papers with new data. The new papers confirmed the ideas and conclusions of this article. The references for the entire series of papers (plus a book, ‘Biological effects of surfactants’) are here:

EXAMPLES OF TEXTS (concrete sentences) IN WHICH MENTIONING THIS PAPER MAY BE PROPER AND USEFUL:
EXAMPLE 1. A new conceptualization of aquatic ecosystem was suggested in 2000, with an emphasis on the capability of an ecosystem (both freshwater and marine ecosystem) to purify water ( Ostroumov, 2000).
Or:
EXAMPLE 2. In 2000, a new concept was proposed which considered an aquatic ecosystem (both freshwater and marine ecosystem) as a bioreactor with the function of improving water quality (Ostroumov, 2000 ).
Or:
EXAMPLE 3. A contribution to theoretical discussion on what is ecosystem was made in 2000. In a paper focused on aquatic ecosystems ( Ostroumov, 2000 ), it was proposed to see aquatic ecosystem as a new type of bioreactor. The novelty of this type of bioreactor is in its structure and function. As for structure, it is a multi-species bioreactor. As for function, it is a bioreactor with a number of functions, one of them is improving water quality (water purification) (Ostroumov, 2000 ).
Please feel free to use these fragments of text above (examples 1-3) with providing the exact reference to the paper. No objection if they will be used by anybody in their scientific or educational writings (again, with providing the full reference to the article). No need to cite this blog post.
