An aquatic ecosystem: a large-scale diversified bioreactor with a water self-purification function. — Doklady Biological Sciences, 2000. Vol. 374, P. 514-516. 3 tables. Bibliogr. 15. ISSN 0012-4966. Distributed by Springer, orderdept@springer-sbm.com.

 Innovative conceptualization: 
The author developed a new fundamental concept of aquatic ecosystem as a multi-functional bioreactor. One of the key functions of that bioreactor is upgrading water quality via a multi-component biomachinery of water self-purification. 
**
 New facts: 
Contribution of the main groups of aquatic organisms (heterotrophic bacteria, fungi, cyanobacteria and microalgae, protozoans, higher plants, invertebrates, fish and amphibians) to water self-purification: comparison and analysis (Tabl.1). 
 Relatively small effects of a synthetic non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100 or TX100, 4-5 mg/L) on marine bacteria Hyphomonas sp. MHS-3 (5 mg/L), and on bacteria Hyphomonas sp. VP-6 (5-10 mg/L), a significant inhibition by the synthetic surfactant Triton X-100 of the water filtration by the marine mussels Mytilus edulis (4 mg/L), and by the freshwater mussels Unio tumidus (5 mg/L). 
 The negative (inhibitory) effects of a synthetic cationic surfactant TDTMA 1 mg/L on the marine mussels M. galloprovincialis (Tabl.2);
 the inhibition of feeding: effects of the synthetic surfactant TX100 1-5 mg/L on the freshwater mussels Unio tumidus, inhibitory effects of the synthetic surfactant TDTMA 1-2 mg/L on the freshwater mussels U. pictorum; 
effects of a number of synthetic surfactant and detergents, namely, TDTMA 1 mg/L, anionic surfactant SDS 1.7 mg/L, detergents 6.7 – 50 mg/L, shampoo (namely, the shampoo ) AHC 5-60 mg/L (sublethal concentrations) on the marine mussels M. galloprovincialis; 
 TX100, TDTMA (2 mg/L), laundry detergent (Tide-Lemon, 75 mg/L) on the freshwater mollusk (the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis) (Tabl.3).

 A fragment of the text: "Sublethal concentrations of contaminants may inhibit vital activities of other organisms involved in the function of an ecosystem as an analogue of a bioreactor. This finding provides a deeper insight into the mechanisms of anthropogenic impact on biosphere. The concept put forward in this work emphasizes that intactness of the whole range of biological diversity of hydrobionts is required to provide effective functioning of an ecosystem as an analog of a water self-purification bioreactor. Therefore, the monetary cost estimates of ecosystems and biota should be increased" (p. 516). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11103331; http://sites.google.com/site/2000dbs374p514bioreactor/; http://www.citeulike.org/user/ATP/article/9750913;
