Self-purification. What is self-purification? •Answer: Self-purification is the complex process, or, more precisely, a set of natural processes in aquatic ecosystems, which lead to improving or maintaining water quality. Another term with a similar, but not completely the same meaning: assimilative capacity. •Question. What kind of journal had published this paper? •Answer: This journal, Doklady Biological Sciences, is a high rank journal that is indexed by PubMed and Web of Science. More detail on the journal see at the site, free: http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/journal/10630 •Question: How broad is the geographical range of the area of potential relevance and application of the conclusions that were made in the paper? •Answer: Just look on where the paper was cited: it was cited by the authors of other scientific articles who conducted their research in Europe, North America, and Asia (e.g., in China). •Question: Where the results and conclusions of the paper could be applied? •Answer: the results presented in the paper could be applied in explaining and predicting the behaviour of aquatic ecosystems, in securing the safety of the sources of water supply, in protecting biodiversity of aquatic organisms, in aquaculture, and in education. •Question: There is a question on the method that was used in some related publications of the same author. In some of his experiments, he studied how bivalve mollusks (mussels and others) remove suspended matter from aquatic environment. In some of these experiments the suspended matter was the cells of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Why? •Answer: This was just a matter of convenience in doing the experiment. Other authors used very unusual materials as suspended matter in analogous experiments. All types of suspended matter worked. It was shown that all types of suspended matter were being removed by bivalve mollusks from aquatic environment. In additional experiments with bivalve mollusks (mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis), the author of these series of papers compared the filtration and removal rate of two types of suspended matter: first, the cells of phytoplankton algae, and second, the cells of of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The result of the experiment: both types of suspended matter were removed with the same rate, the kinetics of the decrease of the amount of cells in water were the same. This experiment made a scientific rationale for using the suspension of the yeast cells. •Question: Is this paper available in other languages different from English? •Answer: Yes, it is available in Russian, see: On the biotic self-purification of aquatic ecosystems: elements of the theory. — DAN (Doklady Akademii Nauk), Vol. 396, 2004, No. 1, p. 136–141.

Ostroumov S.A

ABSTRACT: This paper was liked by an international Internet user. V.m. Hau (at Facebook, page of Duke University) liked this online publication: ** Russian Journal of General Chemistry, Vol. 80, No. 13. (1 December 2010), pp. 2754-2761, doi:10.1134/s1070363210130086;
The experimental data analysis, concepts, and generalizations in this article provide the fundamental elements of the qualitative theory of biocontrol (biological community-dependent control ) of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers and explains the complex natural processes of improving water quality and running 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 theory provides a basis for remediation of polluted aquatic ecosystems including purification of water bodies and streams. This paper is both a review and an opinion paper that present the scientific basis for innovative, energy-saving, greenhouse gase absorbing technologies for water treatment and purification, phytoremediation, and other types of ecotechnologies. ** New insights into useful roles of aquatic organisms in improving water quality: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259335618_Biocontrol-of-Water-Quality-Multifunctional-Role-of-Biota-in-Water-Self-Purification-Russian-Journal-of-General-Chemistry-2010?ev=prf_pub

ABSTRACT: This is an updated article, in which an innovative theory of multi-functional activity of aquatic ecosystem in improving water quality is formulated. In other words, this paper formulated a useful fresh theory of water self-purification (improving water quality) in surface freshwater and marine ecosystems.

This paper was cited by scientists of various countries (including Italy, China, et al.). Inter alia, it was cited and commented favorably by Professor V.A.Abakumov, the leading expert in aquatic ecology in Russian Federation, and Chair, Department of Ecology, an international university in the Moscow Region. This paper was bookmarked by members of ResearchGate. This article gives a positive and clear answer to the question formulated here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_it_possible_to_organize_a_multitude_of_factors_and_processes_of_water_self-purification_into_a_few_groups?_tpcectx=profile_questions; In this article, a new system of principles of the theory of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification based on multiple functions of the biota in freshwater and marine ecosystems were formulated. In developing this theory, the results of the author's experiments with filter-feeders (water- filtering aquatic organisms) have been used. These results indicate that the water self-purification mechanism is vulnerable to the impact of some pollutants and, in particular, synthetic surfactants. Conclusions drawn on the basis of the theory have practical significance for biodiversity conservation and for the sustainable use of the biological resources of aquatic ecosystems.
