Questions which were answered in the series of publications that presented this result (http://www.scribd.com/doc/60659939/):

Besides microorganisms, do other organisms play a key role in improving water quality?
Which processes are the main ones which contribute to water self-purification?
Which organisms play key roles in improving water quality in aquatic ecosystems?
Which organisms, freshwater or marine ones, are more involved in improving water quality?
How biological, chemical and physical processes are interacting in ecosystem in improving water quality?
Is it possible to organize a multitude of factors and processes of water self-purification into a few groups (categories, blocks)?
Is the self-purification potential of an aquatic ecosystem a certain constant or a labile parameter?
Is the mechanism of water self-purification vulnerable to external impact on the aquatic ecosystem, e.g. to the impact of chemical pollution with synthetic chemicals?
