Abstract: 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 [aquatic organisms] 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 the biota should be increased" (p. 516).
