CSO flocs : an electron-optical assessment of nanoscale structure and microbial health / Gary G. Leppard and M. Marcia West.: En13-5/03-155E-PDF
"Flocs from combined sewer overflow (CSO) events were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Nanoscale components of floc architecture and microbial ultrastructure were described using a correlative multi-method approach to sample preparation. A comparison with biota-rich flocs, from other aquatic environments described in the literature, showed the CSO flocs to be: (1) similar in fundamental architecture; (2) rich in microorganism diversity; and (3) highly enriched in bacteria which displayed ultrastructural correlates of good health"--Abstract.
