Section 1:
Publication 1.
Innovative conceptualization of ecosystem’s biomachinery (a new scientific term that was proposed by the author; it means ecological mechanisms that include biological communities and biodiversity) which improves water quality. The innovative experimental data analysis, concepts, and generalizations in this article provide the fundamental elements of the new qualitative theory of biocontrol of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory is supported by the results of the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by some chemical pollutants including synthetic surfactants, detergents, and other xenobiotics on aquatic organisms. The new fundamental conceptualization provides a basis for remediation of polluted aquatic ecosystems including purification of water bodies and streams, and briefly present the qualitative theory of the self-purification mechanism of aquatic ecosystems, phytoremediation and other types of technologies.
Title: Biocontrol of water quality: Multifunctional role of biota in water self-purification.
Publication 2.
**
Publication 14.
The first publication in which a concise presentation is given of the author’s theory of water self-purification. The word 'polyfunctional' means the same as the word 'multi-functional'.
A short list of physical, chemical, and biological processes of water self-purification is given. One of the conclusions is: ‘living organisms are the core component of the multitude of processes of the ecological machinery working towards improving water quality’. Innovative and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms (biological community) work together toward making water clear and clean.
Title: Effects of aquatic pollution by a non-ionogenic surfactant on the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana.
Title: REACTION OF FAGOPYRUM-ESCULENTUM MOENCH TO POLLUTION OF AQUEOUS-MEDIUM WITH POLYMERIC SURFACTANTS.

Publication 2.
This paper is the first publication that reported the concentrations of a number of rare earth elements in biodetritus. The rare earth elements are a key component of modern hi-technology products and they are a new component in the modern solid wastes and waste waters. This paper is an innovative and significant contribution to the database for modern environmental monitoring.
**
Title: The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems.
**
Biodetritus that formed over a 7-month period in microcosms with Viviparus viviparus, Unio pictorum , andCeratophyllum demersum contained a number of elements. This is the first study to determine concentrations of some elements in biodetritus. Neutron activation analysis showed that the elements’ concentrations decrease in the following order: Ca > Zn > Ba > Br > Ce > Se > Nd > La > U > Hf > Sb > Th > Sm > S > Cs > Au. The data obtained contribute to understanding of the polyfunctional role of aquatic organisms in aquatic ecosystems.

Publication 5.
The first paper that reports experiments that showed that all three main kinds of synthetic surfactants (detergent chemicals) slow down the filtration of water by marine organisms, filter-feeders (bivalve mussels of Atlantic Ocean, Latin name Mytilus edulis). The 3 main types of surfactants that were studied were representatives of the 3 classes: anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants. Surfactants are the same as surface-active substances and surface-active agents.

This is a first publication to report both inhibitory and stimulation effects of a synthetic surfactant on two unique strains of the ocean species of cyanobacteria Synechococcus from the collection of WHOI. These data demonstrated a new hazard of an umbalance of species composition of marine phytoplankton under the effect of pollution by synthetic chemical pollutants.
The non-ionogenic surfactant Triton X-100 acted differently on cyanobacteria Synechococcus WH 7805 and WH 8103: 5 mg/liter of the surfactant inhibited strain 7805 and favored the development of strain 8103. A lower concentration (0.5 mg/liter) stimulated the growth of both strains. Triton X-100 produced no effect on the motility of strain 8103 cells.

The first publication to report phytotoxicity of a synthetic polymeric surfactant. In an innovative bioassay with the higher plant Fagopyrum esculentum (buckwheat), the reaction of buckwheat cv. Shatilov-5 seedlings to pollution of the aqueous medium with polymeric surfactants - a copolymer of hexene and maleic aldehyde (CHMA), was investigated. It was shown that CHMA content in water with a concn of the active substance of 0.4-0.9 mg/ml inhibited plant growth. The effect was shown with prolonged incubation of germinating seeds for 43-67 h or more. These data should be taken into account in analysing the possible ecological consequences of irrigating lands with waste waters and polluted waters.

This is a first publication to report a unique bioassay of synthetic surfactants using soil algae. Also, this is a first publication to report a juxtaposition of results of the three methods of assessment of toxicity of a chemical: the methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae cultures; (3) soil algal cultures.
Experiments investigating the effects of the cationic surface active compound tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA) on a number of aquatic and soil algal cultures, and the seedlings of Fagopyrum esculentum are described, and the results presented. It is concluded that future studies on the effects of pollutants on algae should involve the use of several test systems (both aquatic and soil algal cultures).

A short abstract: Experiments investigating the effects of the cationic surface active compound tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA) on aquatic and soil algal cultures and the shoots ofFagopyrum esculentum are described and the results presented. It is concluded that future studies on the effects of pollutants on algae should involve the use of several test equations.
A more detailed abstract: The effects of environmental pollution with a cationic surface-active substance (surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TDTMA) on certain cyanobacteria and algae - cyanobacteria Nostoc muscorum Ag, strain 33 isolated from the soil in the Kirov Oblast (Region); green algae Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrova, strain 200 and strain 219 (the strain 219 was isolated from the volcanic ash collected next to Tyatya Volcano, island of Kunashir) - was investigated. Their sensitivity to that surfactant TDTMA was compared with the sensitivity of a test based on the use of terrestrial plants. The algal experiments were performed with aquatic and soil cultures. The experiments with terrestrial plants used the earlier-developed method with the seedlings ofFagopyrum esculentum Moench. The experiments revealed the higher sensitivity of the test with the aquatic algal cultures.

An innovative hypothesis that during evolution, not only endosymbiosis took place but also an additional redistribution of DNA of the endosymbionts between the nucleus and the organelles was a factor that contributed to formation of genome of a modern cell. According to the opinion of many authoritative international scientists, this hypothesis got full support in more recent publications of other authors.

Title: PARTICIPATION OF CHLOROPLASTS AND MITOCHONDRIA IN VIRUS REPRODUCTION AND EVOLUTION OF EUKARYOTIC CELL

In this paper, a new evolutionary model was proposed: it is postulated that portions of DNA of an ancient endosymbiotic prokaryote were transferred into the nucleus of the ancient eukaryote cell. In other words, a redistribution of DNA of endosymbionts took place. New terminology was suggested: the terms 'mitophages' and 'plastophages' ('chlorophages') were introduced in this article.
Recent publications of other authors supported this model.

Title: RECONSTITUTION OF BIOLOGICAL MOLECULAR GENERATORS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT - BACTERIORHODOPSIN

ABSTRACT: This paper contributed to the proof of chemiosmotic hypothesis of Peter Mitchell, who finally received Nobel Prize (Chemistry). Eight innovations:
1. Photoinduced generation of electric current by bacteriorhodopsin, incorporated into the planar phospholipid membrane, has been directly measured with conventional electrometer techniques. 2. Two methods for bacteriorhodopsin incorporation have been developed: (a) formation of planar membrane from a mixture of decane solution of phospholipids and of the fraction of violet fragments of theHalobacterium halobium membrane (bacteriorhodopsin sheets), and (b) adhesion of bacteriorhodopsin-containing reconstituted spherical membranes (proteoliposomes) to the planar membrane in the presence of Ca2+ or some other cations. In both cases, illumination was found to induce electric current generation directed across the planar membrane, an effect which was measured by macroelectrodes immersed into electrolyte solutions on both sides of the membrane. 3. The maximal values of the transmembrane electric potential were of about 150 mV at a current of about 10(-11) A. The electromotive force measured by means of counterbalancing the photoeffect by an external battery, was found to reach the value of 300 mV. 4. The action spectrum of the photoeffect coincides with the bacteriorhodopsin absorption spectrum (maximum about 570 nm). 5. Both components of the electrochemical potential of H+ ions (electric potential and delta pH) across the planar membrane affect the bacteriorhodopsin photoelectric response in a fashion which could be expected if bacteriorhodopsin were a light-dependent electrogenic proton pump. 6. La3+ ions were shown to inhibit operation of those bacteriorhodopsin which pump out H+ ions from the La3+-containing compartment. 7. The photoeffect, mediated by proteoliposomes associated with thick planar membrane, is decreased by gramicidin A at concentrations which do not influence the planar membrane resistance in the light. On the contrary, a protonophorous uncoupler, trichlorocarbonylcyanidephenylhydrazone, decreases the photoeffect only if it is added at a concentration lowering the light resistance. The dark resistance is shown to be higher than the light one, and decreases to the light level by gramicidin. 8. A simple equivalent electric scheme consistent with the above results has been proposed.
