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.

25. It is the first paper in which it was clearly proved that the synthetic chemical, when it pollutes water,
produces a dangerous effect on both marine mussels and phytoplankton: it decreases water filtration
rate by the mussels, and the normal control of abundance of phytoplankton by the marine mussels, the
control which is associated with the filtration of water.

The effect of synthetic anionic surface
active substance (SAS) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 4 mg/l) on the kinetics of water filtration by mussel
Mytilus edulis was studied. A suspension of algae Isochrysis galbana was added to the vessel with the
mussels, and their filtration activity was measured by counting the concentration of the algae cells in the
experimental vessels. Algae concentration was measured every 30 min for an hour and a half. The
inhibiting effect on the mollusk filtration rate (FR) was qualitatively described. After the first 30 min
filtration at 4 mg/l initial SDS concentration, the cell density was 322% of the control. The inhibiting
effect was observed later as well. Due to FR inhibition in the vessels with the above specified initial SDS
concentration, the algae cell density was 6.4 and 14.7 times that of the control after 1 and 1.5 h,
respectively. Thus, SAS SDS can decrease the natural capacity of aquatic ecosystems for self-purification
and disturb other aspects of ecosystem functioning through inhibiting the filtration activity of mussels.
The obtained data are discussed in the context of environment and hydrosphere protection from
pollution.

part of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification in healthy aquatic ecosystems. The important
attributes of this core part of the mechanism are: 1) lability; 2) vulnerability to anthropogenic impact.
Another draft of the comment:
The author formulated a new fundamental concept of the complex of organisms of aquatic ecosystem.
According to the concept, the biota is a central, labile and vulnerable (to pollutants) part of the
ecological mechanism of water self-purification and upgrade of water quality.

55. This is the first time it was shown that the nanoparticles of gold (Au) in substantial amount bind to
the living biomass of the aquatic plant (macrophyte), Ceratophyllum demersum. The concentrations of
gold were measured in the samples of the phytomass using neutron activation analysis (NAA). As a
result of the binding and/or immobilization of the nanoparticles, the amount of gold in the samples of
the phytomass increased manifold above the background level of gold in the plant tissues. The increase
was by two orders of magnitude. The new data added some new information to the modern vision of
the multifunctional role of the biota in the migration of elements in aquatic ecosystems [9, 10]. Also, the
result added new information to the studies of interactions of gold with organisms [17-23] that may
contribute to new biotechnologies.

25. It is the first paper in which it was clearly proved that the synthetic chemical, when it pollutes water,
produces a dangerous effect on both marine mussels and phytoplankton: it decreases water filtration
rate by the mussels, and the normal control of abundance of phytoplankton by the marine mussels, the
control which is associated with the filtration of water.
Ostroumov S. A. An Amphiphilic Substance Inhibits the Mollusk Capacity to Filter out Phytoplankton
Cells from Water; — Biology Bulletin, 2001, v.28, No.1; pp.95-102.
www.springerlink.com/index/l665628020163255.pdf;
The effect of synthetic anionic surface
active substance (SAS) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 4 mg/l) on the kinetics of water filtration by mussel
Mytilus edulis was studied. A suspension of algae Isochrysis galbana was added to the vessel with the
mussels, and their filtration activity was measured by counting the concentration of the algae cells in the
experimental vessels. Algae concentration was measured every 30 min for an hour and a half. The
inhibiting effect on the mollusk filtration rate (FR) was qualitatively described. After the first 30 min
filtration at 4 mg/l initial SDS concentration, the cell density was 322% of the control. The inhibiting
effect was observed later as well. Due to FR inhibition in the vessels with the above specified initial SDS
concentration, the algae cell density was 6.4 and 14.7 times that of the control after 1 and 1.5 h,
respectively. Thus, SAS SDS can decrease the natural capacity of aquatic ecosystems for self-purification
and disturb other aspects of ecosystem functioning through inhibiting the filtration activity of mussels.
The obtained data are discussed in the context of environment and hydrosphere protection from
pollution.

Also, new insight in how ecosystem runs water self-purification.
A fundamentally new approach and methodology to study top-down control in ecosystems: the first
introduction of what the author calls ‘inhibitory analysis’; the paper presented a new insight in
understanding that a decrease in activity of filter-feeders are part of the causes and mechanisms of
eutrophication and algal blooms. The paper shows how to identify and measure this new factor which
stimulates those negative phenomena;

conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms work together toward making marine and
estuarine water clear and clean.
**
It is the first time, a new concept and the term ‘biomachinery’ is formulated; in these publication, it is
the first timethat the new term 'biomachinery' was introduced; It is the first time that the new concept
and term ‘biomachinery’ was applied to ecosystem. It is the first time that water self- purification in
aquatic ecosystems was considered as an example of functioning of biomachinery. More

44. One of the authors of published reviews of the book called it ‘Russian Silent Spring’. One of the first
books that created the fundamentals of conservation biology. This work examines the problems arising
from the deterioration of the environment and covers the issues of conservation and biodiversity
protection at the molecular-genetic, the ontogenetic, the species-population and the ecosystem levels.
The book offers suggestions concerning changes in practice in agriculture, industry, recreation etc. – in
all sectors of society life and functioning.

45. It is the first paper in which it was clearly shown that aquatic biota (the sum of organisms) is the core
part of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification in healthy aquatic ecosystems. The important
attributes of this core part of the mechanism are: 1) lability; 2) vulnerability to anthropogenic impact.
Another draft of the comment:
The author formulated a new fundamental concept of the complex of organisms of aquatic ecosystem.
According to the concept, the biota is a central, labile and vulnerable (to pollutants) part of the
ecological mechanism of water self-purification and upgrade of water quality.

Fragment of the text: Self-purification of water is a complex process including physical, chemical, and
biological components [1–3]. The vulnerability of different components of the water self-purification
system to anthropogenic factors is as yet insufficiently understood.The goal of this work was to review
the literature and our own unpublished experimental findings concerning potential vulnerability of the
biotic component of the water self-purification system to chemical pollutants.

55. This is the first time it was shown that the nanoparticles of gold (Au) in substantial amount bind to
the living biomass of the aquatic plant (macrophyte), Ceratophyllum demersum. The concentrations of
gold were measured in the samples of the phytomass using neutron activation analysis (NAA). As a
result of the binding and/or immobilization of the nanoparticles, the amount of gold in the samples of
the phytomass increased manifold above the background level of gold in the plant tissues. The increase
was by two orders of magnitude. The new data added some new information to the modern vision of
the multifunctional role of the biota in the migration of elements in aquatic ecosystems [9, 10]. Also, the
result added new information to the studies of interactions of gold with organisms [17-23] that may
contribute to new biotechnologies.
