Although strontium (Sr2+) is found in soils, sediments and surface waters, there is limited evidence about its biosorption. In this study, a surface water strain being highly tolerant to Sr2+ was isolated and identified as Micrococcus luteus Sr02 by using 16S rRNA sequencing. Biosorption behavior and mechanisms of Sr2+ by M. luteus Sr02 were investigated through batch experiments, zeta potential measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that M. luteus Sr02 have potential to sorb Sr2+ and can be used efficiently for the removal of Sr2+ from aqueous solutions.

Comparison of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation eligibility using sporosarcina pasteurii and bacillus licheniformis on two different sands Sarıçiçek, Yılmaz Emre; Pekcan, Onur; Gözen, Ayşe Gül (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-02) The use of biological means for ground improvement have become popular, which generally works through the process called microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). Many studies indicate successful application of MICP based improvement with multiple bacteria and on several soils. Given the proven performance of MICP, this study aims to examine the MICP process by comparing the calcium carbonate precipitation ability of widely studied bacteria, i.e., Sporosarcina pasteurii and relatively unde...
Environmental effect and genetic influence: a regional cancer predisposition survey in the Zonguldak region of Northwest Turkey KADİR, Selahattin; Onen-Hall, A. Piril; Aydin, S. Nihal; Yakicier, Cengiz; Akarsu, Nurten; Tuncer, Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01) The Cretaceous-Eocene volcano-sedimentary units of the Zonguldak region of the western Black Sea consist of subalkaline andesite and tuff, and sandstone dominated by smectite, kaolinite, accessory chlorite, illite, mordenite, and analcime associated with feldspar, quartz, opal-CT, amphibole, and calcite. Kaolinization, chloritization, sericitization, albitization, Fe-Ti-oxidation, and the presence of zeolite, epidote, and illite in andesitic rocks and tuffaceous materials developed as a result of the degrad...
Impacts of atmospheric nutrient deposition on marine productivity: Roles of nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron Okin, Gregory S.; Baker, Alex R.; Tegen, Ina; Mahowald, Natalie M.; Dentener, Frank J.; Duce, Robert A.; Galloway, James N.; Hunter, Keith; Kanakidou, Maria; Kubilay, Nilgun; Prospero, Joseph M.; Sarin, Manmohan; Surapipith, Vanisa; Uematsu, Mitsuo; Zhu, Tong (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2011-06-23) Nutrients are supplied to the mixed layer of the open ocean by either atmospheric deposition or mixing from deeper waters, and these nutrients drive nitrogen and carbon fixation. To evaluate the importance of atmospheric deposition, we estimate marine nitrogen and carbon fixation from present-day simulations of atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron. These are compared with observed rates of marine nitrogen and carbon fixation. We find that Fe deposition is more important than P deposition...
Effect of weathering on the geomechanical properties of andesite, Ankara - Turkey Orhan, M.; Isik, N. S.; Topal, Tamer; Ozer, M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-05-01) Andesite exposed in different parts of Ankara has different weathering categories varying from fresh to residual soil. The geomechanical properties of the andesite are significantly affected by weathering. Buildings constructed especially in completely weathered and residual soil levels of the andesite have some geotechnical problems. In this study, the variation of the geomechanical properties of the andesite due to weathering is investigated in three selected sites of Ankara, through optical microscope, X...
Composite landfill liner design with Ankara clay, Turkey Met, İlker; Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) This study presents an overview of the geotechnical properties of the clayey soils, referred to as "Ankara clay", at two sites of the Ankara region in an attempt to design a landfill profile composed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane/clay composite liner through the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model and the Water Balance Method. The geotechnical properties of the landfill layers along with the water balance factors (i.e., evapotranspiration, precipitation, temperatur...
