The potential to optimize wastewater utilization, whilst achieving satisfactory nutrient removal has been investigated through a simple system combining an Artificial Wetland with a High Rate Algal Pond (HRAP). Receiving septic sewage at a surface loading equivalent to 13.5 cm/day the Wetland achieved COD removals of 59.2%, NH4−N of 34,6%, PO4−P of 31.9% and SS of 78%. The HRAP selectively cultivated an easily harvestable filamentous green alga through a combination of short hydraulic residence times (< days), and microscreens as selectors over the effluent stream. Passage of the effluent through this stage permitted COD removal to increase to 79.4%, NH4−N to 82.8% and PO4−P to 54.1%, whilst generating a highly proteinaceous (42% by wt) biomass at a rate of approximately 50 tons/hectare/year. This paper discusses the performance of the pilot scale facility over a twelve month period, identifying biological and operational influences on the system, and the physiological mechanics by which the wastewater treatment is accomplished.

The matrix of biological membranes consists of a lipid bilayer into which proteins or protein aggregates are intercalated. Freeze-fracture techni- ques permit these proteins, perhaps in association with lipids, to be visualized in the hydrophobic regions of the membrane. Thus, numerous intramembrane particles (IMP) have been found on the fracture faces of membranes from a wide variety of cells (1-3). A recognized property of IMP is their tendency to form aggregates in response to changes in experi- mental conditions (4,5), perhaps as a result of translational diffusion through the viscous plane of the membrane. The purpose of this communica- tion is to describe the distribution and size of IMP in the plasma membrane of yeast (Candida utilis).Yeast cells (ATCC 8205) were grown in synthetic medium (6), and then harvested after 16 hours of culture, and washed twice in distilled water. Cell pellets were suspended in growth medium supplemented with 30% glycerol and incubated for 30 minutes at 0°C, centrifuged, and prepared for freeze-fracture, as described earlier (2,3).
