“…Further the diagenesis of organic matter in sediments takes place via oxic and anoxic microbial activities with the consumption of electron acceptors such as oxygen causing an oxygen deficient zone. Under such anoxic conditions bacterial cells (facultative anaerobes) capable of using NO 3 1-, SO 4 2-and CO 2 as terminal electron acceptor to decompose the organic matter (Steenberg et al 1993 become more active causing a high electron transport system (ETS) activity in the sediments (Germ and Simčič, 2011). Methanogens produce methane (CH 4 ) from CO 2 by reducing it with H 2 .…”

Microbial assemblage as biofilm around the aquatic plant forms a firm association that largely depends upon the mutual supplies of nutrients, e.g., microbes interact with plants in an aquatic system most likely for organic carbon and oxygen, whereas plants receive defensive immunity and mineral exchange. Apart from the mutual benefits, plant-microbe interactions also influence the water quality especially at rhizosphere providing inherent ability to the aquatic system for the mitigation of pollution from the water column. The review presents and in-depth information along with certain research advancements made in the field of ecological and bio/chemical aspects of plant-microbe interactions and the underlying potential to improve water quality.

“…Species richness of the natural ponds was considerably lower than that in natural oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes in high-mountain systems across Europe, where a much broader spectrum of macrophyte species is known, including several Charophytes and more vascular plants of the genera Potamogeton, Isoëtes, Batrachium, and others [10,12,33,34]. Macrophyte species richness in artificial Tatra ponds is comparable or slightly lower than the richness of pond ecosystems across Europe [35,36].…”

Aquatic vegetation of the mountains and sub-alpine ponds in the Tatra Mountains and adjacent area (Slovakia) has been studied with the aim to provide information about the composition and species richness of macrophytes in relation to environmental factors. Macrophytes were studied in two pond groups: natural ponds of glacial origin and artificial ponds. Simultaneously, eight environmental variables were measured or estimated at each pond. The studied pond groups differed significantly (Mann-Whitney U-test, P<0.01) in almost all recorded environmental variables except for water temperature and pond area. Almost all environmental characteristics showed higher variability in the artificial ponds. In total, 70 macrophyte taxa were found at the study sites consisting of ca 90% of vascular plants and ca 10% of bryophytes. Artificial ponds were characterised by a multi-element vascular plant species group typical for marshy and aquatic habitats of lower altitudes, while Carex rostrata was the only species typical for natural ponds. Species richness differed significantly between the two pond groups, with artificial ponds hosting considerably more species. Species richness of all studied ponds was negatively correlated with altitude and precipitation;

“…* Samples connected by ( ) are not significantly different at P < 0.008. Previous studies identified that macrophytes can affect sediment chemistry, as well as stimulate microbial processes in sediment (Germ and Simčič, 2011). This study showed that there were slight differences of TP, OP, IP, TN, OM concentrations in the sediment among all four systems, neither the significant effect of the macrophytes (P > 0.05).…”

Vitality of aquatic plants and microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia)

Abstract: The vitality of eight macrophyte species and the microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia) were studied via the terminal electron transport system (ETS) activity of mitochondria.
