Abstract: Overland flow, on slopes of 5 and 11%, was used as a
means of treating wastewater effluent from the second cell of a
swine waste  anaerobic lagoon system. Wastewater samples from
both surface runoff and soil percolate (depths of 0.3, 0.9, and
1.5 m) were collected and  analyzed for TKN-N, NH4-N, ON-N,
NO3-N, pH, COD, K, EC, and TP-P. Using these data, along with the
hydraulic loading rates and  quantitative runoff collection, mass
balances on the above parameters were calculated to determine the
surface treatment of the lagoon effluent.  These mass balances
suggest that overland flow is an excellent treatment system for
liquid lagoon effluents with mass reductions of greater than  60%
for all parameters on both slopes, except NO3-N, which had an
approximate increase of 1.7 times on the 11% slope. Samples
collected  from the three lysimeter depths (soil percolate)
suggest that NO3-N leaching from the plots may be a concern over
an extended period of use.  The runoff from overland flow systems
of this type will require further treatment.

Abstract: Exogenous plasmid isolation was used to assess the
presence of mobilizing plasmids in several soils and activated
sludges.  Triparental  matings were performed with Escherichia
coli (a member of the gamma subgroup of the Proteobacteria) as
the donor of an IncQ plasmid  (pMOL155, containing the heavy
metal resistance genes czc: Co(r), Zn(r), and Cd(r)), Alcaligenes
eutrophus (a member of the beta subgroup of  the Proteobacteria)
as the recipient, and indigenous microorganisms from soil and
sludge samples as helper strains.  We developed an assay to 
assess the plasmid mobilization potential of a soil ecosystem on
the basis of the number of transconjugants obtained after
exogenous isolations.  After inoculation into soil of several
concentrations of a helper strain (E. coli CM120 harboring IncP
[IncP1] mobilizing plasmid RP4), the log  numbers of
transconjugants obtained from exogenous isolations with different
soil samples were a linear function of the log numbers of helper 
strain CM120(RP4) present in the soils.  Four soils were analyzed
for the presence of mobilizing elements, and mobilizing plasmids
were  isolated from two of these soils.  Several sludge samples
from different wastewater treatment plants yielded much higher
numbers of  transconjugants than the soil samples, indicating
that higher numbers of mobilizing strains were present.  The
mobilizing plasmids isolated from  Gent-O sludge and one plasmid
isolated from Eislingen soil hybridized to the repP probe,
whereas the plasmids isolated from Essen soil did not  hybridize
to a large number of rep probes (repFIC, repHI1, repHI2, repL/M,
repN, repP, repT, repU, repW, repX).  This indicates that in
Essen  soil, broad-host-range mobilizing.

Abstract: A careful appraisal of piggery wastewaters should be
made mainly because of their high content of organic constituents
together with the  nitrogen and stringent effluent limitations
involved. Specific emphasis should be given to the COD of the
wastewater as it contains, aside from a  biodegradable portion, a
residual fraction which persists throughout the treatment
