▼ The primary goal for remediation of sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is the reduction of bioaccumulation in the aquatic food web, particularly in fish that is the source of exposure to top level predators and humans. While empirical results are available in the literature on bioavailability reductions after amendment of PCB-contaminated sediment with a strong sorbent like activated carbon (AC) or biochar, there is a lack of quantitative understanding on how reductions in sediment porewater and food concentrations impact accumulation in fish. Although passive sampling can measure freely dissolved concentrations accurately, there is a major gap in the utilization of fate and biouptake models that can use such measurements. In addition, well-calibrated partitioning models based on accurate freely dissolved concentrations that can predict uptake by pelagic organisms are lacking. The primary objective of this research was to test the ability of frequently used bioaccumulation models to predict changes in fish uptake upon amendment of AC sediment and use passive sampling inputs and additional studies to refine the predictions made by these bioaccumulation models. Results from laboratory exposure studies with pelagic and benthic feeding fish indicate that by incorporating changes in porewater and overlying freely dissolved PCB concentrations in kinetic bioaccumulation models and by taking into account changes in food concentration it is possible to predict effectiveness of sediment remediation in reducing PCB uptake in fish. Assimilation efficiency of PCBs in the sediment were independently measured in a separate study and incorporated into the model. The modified model led to reasonable estimations of PCB uptake in the benthic feeding fish and was capable of predicting the dominant exposure pathways in the benthic and pelagic feeding fish as a result of their different feeding behaviour. Additionally, passive sampling measurements were linked to PCB accumulation in algae and zooplankton and resulted in refined models. Lastly, several scenarios were simulated to show the potential of a linked fate and biouptake model to capture the effect of different inputs. This research presents a robust modeling framework that is able to predict uptake in fish after in situ remediation that alters bioavailability of PCBs in sediments with implications for risk assessment and management.

▼ Low-cost air quality sensor systems have the potential to provide entirely new information about our air quality given (1) the increase in temporal and spatial resolution that they facilitate, (2) their capacity to utilize many different sensor types in a single system, and (3) their accessibility that enables citizens to measure air quality for themselves. However, there are still many challenges associated with sensor use, including issues of sensor performance quantification and a need for best practices to guide the use of this technology, particularly for community-based research. This thesis addresses these challenges. This thesis includes the quantification of volatile organic compound using sensors to provide methane and non-methane hydrocarbon concentration estimates in complex environments. To support the development of best practices, multiple deployments allowed for the exploration of questions related to the influence the building-scale variability of pollutants on sensor system siting, choices in sensor data processing, and field calibration procedures. Additionally, education and outreach work utilizing sensors and involving partnerships with local communities are described with the focus on resources and lessons that could support future community-based air quality research. This thesis also demonstrated the potential for sensor data. For example, sensor estimates of methane levels from a network deployed in rural Colorado revealed trends similar to those noted by other researchers using high-quality instrumentation and methods. In another example, sensor estimates of methane and total non-methane hydrocarbons levels, analyzed along with other sensor signals (i.e., from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide sensors), helped to identify distinct pollutant sources on a fine temporal and spatial scale in a South Los Angeles neighborhood. The results and conclusions of this work support the continued development of this technology with the goal of collecting preliminary and supplementary information that may contribute to improved public and environmental health.

▼ This dissertation consists of research that focused on pretreatment strategies to reduce fouling of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes used for drinking water treatment, and was segmented into four key components. (1) In the first component of the work, the long-term fouling behavior of a polyethersulfone (PES) hollow-fiber UF membrane was studied at the pilot-scale for treatment of surface water over a one-year period. Pilot testing of a coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (CFS) pretreatment system revealed that chemically irreversible fouling was poorly correlated with turbidity and total organic carbon. It was also shown that recycled backwash water may have impacted membrane process performance, and that chemically irreversible fouling was responsive to changes in pretreatment configuration. (2) In the second component, pre-oxidation with ozone (preozonation) was then studied as a pretreatment process to reduce natural organic matter (NOM) fouling at the pilot-scale. This work suggested that preozonation reduced long-term chemically irreversible fouling. The chemically reversible fouling index increased by 59%, indicating that preozonation changed the characteristics of the foulants, yielding more effective chemically enhanced backwashes. (3) Bench-scale work that studied changes in NOM characteristics associated with the improved process performance were performed using fluorescent excitation-emission (EEM) spectroscopy and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). Specifically, ozone was applied prior to a CFS-UF process and compared to a CFS-UF condition without ozone as the control. Although CFS reduced turbidity by 29%, ozone, when integrated with CFS increased turbidity by 58%, impacting downstream UF performance. As expected, ozone, when integrated with CFS and UF reduced filtrate true color by 40%, UV254 absorbance by 11%, and SUVA by 30%, relative to the control, indicating that preozonation changed the characteristics of the dissolved organic carbon present in the source water. (4) Follow-up bench-scale research using fluorescent EEM spectroscopy and HPSEC assessed operational strategies that impacted organic fouling. Specifically, the fate of fluorescing substances during the recycling of membrane backwash water (MBWW) ahead of CFS-UF process was investigated. Bench-scale UF membranes were used to generate MBWW from a CFS-treated surface water containing 21 mg/L dissolved organic carbon (DOC) registering a 0.95 cm-1 UV254 absorbance that had been coagulated with 100 mg/L with polyaluminum chloride. CFS settled water, when processed with UF, produced MBWW containing 9 mg/L DOC registering a 0.25 cm-1 UV254 absorbance. HPSEC with UV254 detection demonstrated an analogous UV254 reduction as measured by detector response. However, fluorescence EEM spectroscopy revealed that protein-like substances, known to be associated with irreversible fouling, had been concentrated in the MBWW. In order to evaluate recycling operations on overall DOC removal in a CFS-UF process, a blend of 30% MBWW with… Advisors/Committee Members: Duranceau, Steven.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to examine, develop, and assess innovative best management practices (BMPs) in stormwater management for pollutant reduction, flood control, and environmental sustainability. Previous research has clearly shown that urban stormwater runoff quickly transports pathogens, metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants to receiving waterbodies, resulting in the degradation of receiving waters and disruption of ecological networks. In response to this growing concern, regulatory agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), have set forth regulations aimed at protecting and restoring waterbodies. These regulations include numeric nutrient criteria (NNC) and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), which enable effective monitoring of a waterbody with regard to nitrogen and phosphorus pollution and help to restore waters not attaining their designated uses. Currently, many stormwater management systems do not provide sufficient nutrient reduction to meet growing regulations; thus, there is a clear need to develop additional BMPs to enhance nutrient reduction. Firstly, this thesis provides an overview of BMPs used in urban regions across the globe to create networks of low impact development (LID), with a focus on policy analysis. Chapter 2 examines the regulatory policies in areas of the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia from a federal, state, to local perspective in order to pinpoint what policies are supporting the shift from gray cities to green cities. Gray cities are cities comprised mainly of impervious surfaces, with little regard to the ecological health and hydrologic characteristics of the area. Green cities utilize LID to mimic pre-development hydrologic and ecological characteristics, resulting in a city that is both environmentally sustainable and offers many ecosystem services. The results of the global policy analysis identified the policies and other factors, such as funding and public involvement, necessary to facilitate the shift from gray cities to green cities and support the widespread implementation of LID. Secondly, this thesis provides a comparative analysis of three stormwater wet detention ponds, which all contained floating treatment wetlands (FTWs). FTWs are a new BMP, used to enhance nutrient reduction rates in stormwater wet detention ponds. FTWs are a manmade ecosystem, utilizing plants that grow on interlocking floating foam mats, that mimics natural wetlands. Both episodic (storm event) and routine (non-storm event) sampling campaigns were carried out at the three stormwater wet detention ponds located in Gainesville, Ruskin, and Orlando, Florida. The comparative analysis of the three stormwater wet detention ponds was based on two perspectives. The fist analysis, found in Chapter 2, focuses solely on the nutrient reduction potential of FTWs and how the installation of FTWs can be used to improve nutrient reduction rates in stormwater wet detention ponds. The second analysis, found in… Advisors/Committee Members: Chang, Ni-Bin.

▼ This research focused on the fundamental requirements of stabilizing a mature landfill using three treatment approaches as well as the implications of discharging leachate organic matter (LOM) to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Three treatment approaches aimed at removing releasable carbon and nitrogen from mature landfills including flushing with clean water, leachate recirculation with ex-situ chemical oxidation, and leachate recirculation with ex-situ chemical oxidation and in-situ aeration were evaluated. After extensive treatment of the waste in the flushing bioreactor (FB) scenarios, the overall biodegradable fraction was reduced relative to mature waste. Leachate quality improved for all FBs but through different mechanisms. Flushing was the most effective approach at removing biodegradable components and improving leachate quality. A mass balance on carbon and nitrogen revealed that a significant fraction still remained in the waste. Solid waste and leachate samples from the anaerobic bioreactors and FBs were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) to provide a better understanding of changes in waste characteristics when waste transitions from mature to stabilized. Organic functional groups associated with aliphatic methylene were present in leachate and solid waste samples during the early stages of anaerobic degradation and disappeared once these wastes underwent treatment. Once the waste was stabilized, the FTIR spectra of leachate and solid waste were dominated by inorganic functional groups (carboxylic acid/carbonate group, carbonate, quartz, and clay minerals). Leachate is commonly co-treated with domestic wastewater due to the cost and complexity of on-site treatment. The organic constituents in leachate can be problematic for WWTPs as their recalcitrant components pass through conventional treatment processes, impacting effluent quality. Twelve leachates where characterized for total nitrogen (TN) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). The average concentration of TN and DON in leachate was 1,160 and 40.7 mg/L, respectively. Leachates were fractionated based on hydrophobic (recalcitrant; rDON) and hydrophilic (bioavailable; bDON) properties. The average concentrations of bDON and rDON were 16.5 and 18.4 mg/L, respectively. Multiple leachate and wastewater co-treatment simulations were carried out to assess the treatment of leachate nitrogen at historic nitrogen removal levels of four WWTPs and the effects on wastewater effluent quality for four WWTPs. The effluent quality exceeded typical TN limits of 3 to 10 mg/L at leachate volumetric contributions of 10%. The maximum calculated pass through concentrations of rDON and DON at 10% volumetric contribution for the twelve leachates was 4.77 and 9.71 mg/L, respectively. The effects of LOM on wastewater effluent quality was further evaluated in the field. Results showed that leachate detection for each field study could be determined using UV254 nm absorbance. DON and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations increased at… Advisors/Committee Members: Reinhart, Debra.

▼ A corrosion control study for two distinct water distribution systems (WDS) has been completed for the Pulama Lana'i Water Company (Pulama). This project evaluated the use of chemical inhibitors to control corrosion and tuberculation within the Manele Bay WDS and the Lana'i City WDS. Pulama provides water to a population of 3,100 residents and is considering incorporating alternative water supplies in the future. Hence, knowing baseline corrosion rates within the WDS was desired. Several groundwater wells feed each of the WDS's; however, water quality between wells varies. Well water supplied to the WDS's is generally of high quality, therefore, the historical treatment method has been limited to disinfection prior to distribution. The distribution system consists of several materials of construction, which includes galvanized iron. Valves and pipes within the WDS were experiencing visible corrosion and tuberculation believed to be responsible for variable pressure drop throughout portions of the system. In this work, two corrosion racks, each consisting of two parallel loops, were designed, constructed, and installed at each site. One loop was maintained as a control while the other loop was used for testing alternative corrosion inhibitors. The racks utilized metal sample coupons and linear polarization resistance probes to provide data on corrosion rates of selected metals of interest. Results indicated that the water in Manele Bay experienced no noticeable change between the test loop and control loop when a corrosion inhibitor was added. A first experiment found the corrosion rates reached baseline steady—state at 4,000 operational hours. A second experiment found that the corrosion rates reached baseline steady—state at 2,200 operational hours. During these two experiments, the addition of a phosphate or silica—based inhibitor neither reduced nor increased the corrosion rates of mild steel, lead, and copper. Results from Lana'i City indicated that inhibitors offered little to no positive effect between the control condition and the test condition. During the first experiment, baseline corrosion was reached after 2,400 hours. The addition of a phosphate inhibitor did not reduce nor increase the corrosion rates of mild steel and lead. However, the corrosion rate of copper increased to 1.0mpy from 0.22mpy. The corrosion rate remained elevated after inhibitor feed was terminated. The second experiment reached baseline corrosion rates at 1,400 operational hours. The use of silica inhibitor neither reduced nor increased the corrosion rate of mil steel, lead, and copper. Since corrosion inhibitors were found to be ineffective, a valve exercise and replacement program for Pulama's assets was recommended. This program included: (1) developing a detailed asset inventory, (2) implementing operation and maintenance tasks, (3) forming a valve replacement plan, and (4) establishing long range financial planning. An opinion of probable replacement cost for 200 new valves was conceptually estimated to approximate 3.3 million… Advisors/Committee Members: Duranceau, Steven.

Solar energy has been drawing worldwide attention since it can transform sunlight directly into electricity with the use of photovoltaic (PV) cells. However, this technology has some drawbacks that need to be addressed including dust deposition on solar panels, also known as soiling. Soiling can decrease PV panel’s efficiency thereby resulting in less energy production. The soiling rates are very site specific and depend on the geographic location of the panels and the climate in that area. The solar panels can be cleaned naturally (by rainfall, snow or wind) or mechanically washed. This thesis addresses the impact of solar panel soiling and washing on the energy production of solar PV plants located at the UNLV campus. The objectives of this project were (a) to evaluate whether rainfall alone, in the desert environment with low rainfall, is sufficient to clean up the solar panels, and, if possible, determine the minimum amount of rainfall necessary to clean up panels.; (b) to examine the efficiency loss caused by soiling using different methods of analyses and (c) to evaluate if panel washing is worthwhile given the cost and the efficiency gain that is obtained by washing. To calculate the efficiency of the panels, a model was developed to generate parameters that were not measured at the site. Panel efficiencies before and after rainfall events were compared to determine the minimum amount of rain necessary to clean the panels. It was found that at least 0.2 inches of rain was needed to partially restore clean-panel efficiency. In Las Vegas, the recurrence periods of different depths rainfall were calculated using data from the past 29 years. It was observed that the 50th percentile recurrence period of a rainfall event with depth of 0.2 inches or higher was approximately 52 days. Student Union: -0.0044%/day, CBC-C: -0.00099%/day, and Dayton Hall: -0.0034%/day The amount of efficiency lost during the dry intervals (periods between rainfall events) was analyzed in three different ways. The average efficiency loss per day during the dry periods varied from -0.000171 % to -0.00533 %, depending on the method used and the building where the panels were located. However, there were some limitations to the calculations. It was not possible to completely isolate the effects of only soiling on the efficiency of the panels. The rate of decline seemed to be also impacted by seasonal effects. To better evaluate the effect of washing, a professional company was hired to wash a set of solar panels located on UNLV’s Student Union building. The panels were washed with water with a low concentration of TDS. The power output and the efficiency of those panels were analyzed from before and after the washing. There was a very small efficiency… Advisors/Committee Members: Jacimaria Batista, David James, Sajjad Ahmad, Monika Neda, Shubhra Bansal.

▼ In August 2013, the landfill liner designs prescribed by the Minimum Requirements for Waste Disposal by Landfill was superseded by the containment barriers of landfills, now prescribed by the National Norms and Standards for Disposal of Waste to Landfill. These newly prescribed lining systems were assessed in terms of mineral layers, geosynthetic materials and alternatives of equivalent performance. A Class B landfill lining system was then selected to determine its performance on various slope angles. Various geosynthetic materials were tested for their interface shear strength parameters using a ring shear apparatus. These shear strength parameters were then used as inputs to calculate the selected factors of safety. The factors of safety for stability on slopes of 1:4, 1:3, 1:2 and 1:1 using 2-D limit equilibrium analyses were then calculated. The factors of safety for the integrity of the selected geosynthetic materials were also calculated. Where factors of safety were found to be less than the accepted value of 1.5, the lining system components were replaced with geosynthetics of equivalent performance and the factors of safety for stability on slopes of 1:4, 1:3, 1:2 and 1:1 were recalculated. Where factors of safety were still below 1.5, another geosynthetic in the form of veneer reinforcement was used to increase the factor of safety to an acceptable value. Alternative single sided textured and double sided textured HDPE geomembrane liners were also used to help increase the interface shear parameters. The findings from this dissertation will provide a greater understanding to landfill designers about the selection of materials of equivalent performance, the interface shear strengths of the materials tested and the performance of various landfill lining systems on steep and varying slopes. This research will also assist landfill designers to determine the relationship between various lining systems, the slope angles and factors of safety. Although this research will provide assistance with the above concepts, site specific testing is still required. Finally, the recommendations for further research on the lining of steep slopes are also highlighted. Advisors/Committee Members: Jewaskiewitz, Brendon Lloyd (advisor).

▼ A two-step process for the removal of benzene from wastewater, pretreatment by modified Fenton reaction coupled with enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of the resulting phenolic compounds, is presented. Two oxidoreductase enzymes, namely laccase and soybean peroxidase (SBP), were investigated for their capacity to catalyze the oxidative polymerization of the phenolic compounds generated during Fenton pre-treatment. In the benzene pre-treatment step, the effect of pH, hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron concentrations and reaction time for the Fenton reaction were studied to maximize the conversion of benzene to phenolic compounds without causing significant mineralization. Under optimum Fenton reaction conditions, conversion of benzene generated a mixture containing phenol, benzenediols (hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol), biphenyl and benzoquinone. Most of the identified products generated after benzene pre-treatment are priority pollutants themselves. Biphenyl and benzoquinone were outside the scope of enzymatic treatment due to their chemical structure. In order to remove the rest of the Fenton products by the enzymatic process, their individual treatabilities by enzymes were explored. The effectiveness of removing 1 mM phenol and benzenediols by using a laccase from Trametes villosa, was investigated. Factors of interest were pH, enzyme concentration, effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG), effect of substrate concentration on enzyme demand, and enzyme inactivation over reaction period. Previous studies have demonstrated that SBP could also be used to treat phenol and benzenediols. As phenol and benzenediols can co-exist in wastewater, treatability of a composite wastewater containing an equimolar mixture of phenol and benzenediols was examined as well. During the enzymatic treatment of phenolic products from benzene, both laccase and SBP were successful in polymerizing the phenolic compounds. Factors of interest for the three-hour enzymatic step were pH, enzyme and hydrogen peroxide concentration. Biphenyl was removed from the solution due to its poor solubility. The benzoquinone generated was removed by employing additives like chitosan or polyethyleneimine (PEI). Alum was used for color removal of the reaction mixture.

▼ Carboxylic acid could be produced by anaerobic digestion of waste biomass and used as feedstocks for various chemical processes. The recovery of carboxylic acid and the optimization of organic acid producing are the challenges of this bioconversion. In this study, MCM-41 type amine functionalize mesoporous silica (MPS) was used as an adsorbent to separate carboxylic acids. The experimental data fitted with a modified Langmuir model. At an amine density of 3.14 mol N kg^-1, the highest acid adsorption capacity experienced was 3.38 mol kg^-1. The reaction was exothermic and favored at low temperature. More than 90% of maximum adsorption would be achieved at pH < 4. By increasing pH above 10.5 using alkali chemicals, the desorption/regeneration completed within 1 minute. The interferences such as ethanol, glucose and protein did not affect organic acid adsorption significantly. However, anions at the high concentration might compete acetic acid to adsorb at the same site of adsorbent. MPS has a high selectivity for carboxylic acid. The pseudo-second-order rate constant for acetic acid adsorption on MPS was 0.41 kg mol^-1 min^-1 which is higher than that of anion exchange resin and activated carbon. The maximum organic acid yield from serum-bottle test using corn stover as a sole substrate was 0.25±0.02 g/gVS and decreased when the substrate concentration increased. Acid inhibition might play an important role in this phenomenon. With dilution rate of 0.5 d^-1 in leaching bed reactor study, the highest organic acid yield and productivity were 0.14 g/gVS and 0.70 g/L/d, respectively. On the other hand, the maximum organic acid yield from semi-batch reactor in this study was 0.056 g/gVS at substrate concentration of 70 gVS/L and hydraulic retention time of 5 days. The maximum organic acid productivity obtained from this study is 1.319 g/L/d at substrate concentration of 70 gVS/L and hydraulic retention time of 2.5 days. The majority of acids in organic acids produced were acetic acid, propionic acid, and n-butyric acid.

▼ Particle mass and number concentration measurements during different seasonal periods were conducted to study the effects caused by both privately own vehicles (POV) and commercial operated vehicles at the International Bridge of the Americas (BOTA), El Paso, Texas. There were two monitoring sites: UTEP air quality mobile monitoring site at the El Paso Water Utility (EPWU) located at the Chamizal National Memorial Park (CNMP) near the bridge. At this location measurements of traffic counts, size distribution, particle number and mass concentration PM₁₀ (EP₁₀; El Paso PM₁₀) and PM_2.5 (EP_2.5; El Paso PM_2.5) were conducted. The second monitoring site was at the Mexican customs in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua where particle PM_2.5 (CJ_2.5; Ciudad Juarez PM_2.5) mass concentration measurements were conducted. Number concentration and size distribution measurements were conducted using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS: measuring range of 5.94nm to 225nm) and the Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS: measuring range of 0.5 to 20 μm). The mass concentration measurements were obtained using the Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), with different cyclones for PM₁₀ (EP₁₀) and two for PM_2.5 (EP_2.5 and CJ_2.5). Traffic counts were done manually at the site and also through video recordings from the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Seasonal variations were observed for both particle number and mass concentrations at both sites. Winter and spring seasons had higher average total particle number concentrations than summer and fall seasons. In addition, diurnal variations were also observed during the morning and evening hours when traffic would elevate number and mass concentration. However, mass concentration was not very apparent as the number concentration peaked during the morning and evening hours. The particle number concentrations for the morning peaks were shown to be driven by smaller particle size distribution which contributed to a lesser mass concentration effects. In contrast, the particle number concentration for the evening peaks hours was shown to be driven by larger particle size distribution which contributed to the mass concentration effects. Furthermore, the average weekday and weekend demonstrated high ratios of number and mass concentrations for weekdays than weekends due to the closed commercial lanes on Sunday.

▼ The extensive use of tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) as cleaning solvents has resulted in widespread contamination of groundwater systems with vinyl chloride (VC). VC, a known human carcinogen, is primarily formed in groundwater via incomplete anaerobic reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE. Aerobic, methane-degrading bacteria (methanotrophs), which are capable of VC cometabolism while growing on methane, could be important in natural attenuation of VC plumes that escape anaerobic treatment. Real-time PCR (qPCR) represents an innovative approach for detecting and quantifying the presence and activity of these VC-degrading microbes. Immediate applications of this technique include use in a laboratory setting to help elucidate the potential bacterial-substrate interactions occurring in the subsurface environments at these contaminated sites; interactions that could ultimately affect the role of methanotrophs in VC degradation. This technique could also provide lines of evidence for natural attenuation of VC, thus support existing anaerobic bioremediation technologies that generate VC as a metabolic intermediate. In this work, we evaluated several PCR primer sets from the literature for use in methanotroph qPCR assays of groundwater samples. PCR primers targeting two functional genes involved in VC cometabolism, pmoA (sub-unit of particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO)) and mmoX (sub-unit of soluble MMO (sMMO)), as well as 16S rRNA gene primers that targeted Bacteria, and Type I and Type II methanotrophs were tested. These assays were made quantitative by constructing standard curves with DNA from Methylococcus capsulatus (Type I) and Methylocystis sp. strain Rockwell (Type II). Primer sets were evaluated by comparing gene abundance estimated against known amounts of Type I and Type II methanotroph DNA. After primer validation, an effort to substantiate this methanotroph qPCR method was made by attempting to investigate methanotroph populations in groundwater samples from VC-contaminated sites. Some samples studied were also subjected to 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing, allowing for relative abundance comparisons with qPCR analyses. Following our primer assessment experiments, effective primer sets were used to estimate the presence of methanotrophs at environmental sites in Soldotna, Alaska; Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Carver, Massachusetts. Results showed that methanotrophs were present in nearly all wells sampled from all environmental sites. Estimations of methanotroph relative abundance in environmental samples were determined by comparing the Type I and Type II primer estimates to those of the 16S universal primers. Methanotrophs in these groundwater samples ranged from 0.2% to 6.6% of the total bacterial population. Pyrosequencing analysis of the same samples showed methanotroph relative abundances that ranged from 1.7% to 54%. In groundwater samples where both DNA and RNA was extracted, the quantities of…
