Primary production and respiration of the phytoplankton in the Blue and White Niles at Khartoum

Phytoplankton production and respiration in the Blue Nile and White Nile at Khartoum were measured during the period November 1969–January 1971 using the light and dark bottle technique. Maximum rates of production coincided with periods of maximum phytoplankton densities. In the Blue Nile gross production varied between 0.00 gCm^–3d^–1 during the flood season and 2.19 gCm^–3d^–1 (0.49 mgO₂l^–1h^–1) during November 1969. In the White Nile the range was from 0.41 gCm^–3d^–1 (0.09 MgO₂l^–1h^–1) in May to 3.74 gCm^–3d^–1 (0.83 MgO₂l^–1h^–1) in November. The maximum rates of respiration in the Blue Nile and White Nile were 0.10 and 0.63 MgO₂l^–1h^–1 respectively. The ratios net:gross production were generally higher in the White Nile than in the Blue Nile.     

A quantitative study of the phytoplankton in the Blue and White Niles at Khartoum

The variation in numbers of the major planktonic algae in the surface waters of the Blue Nile and White Nile were followed for 29 months (August 1968–December 1970). In terms of biomass, the phytoplankton was dominated by diatoms and blue-green algae; other groups were of minor importance. High phytoplankton densities occurred during winter in both rivers, and during summer in the Blue Nile, with values in the latter river greater than in the former. Melosira granulata and its variety angustissima and Anabaena flos-aquae var. intermedia f. spiroides were the most important taxa in the two Niles. Melosira distans and Attheya zachariasi, which are reported for the first time in the present study, preponderated at certain times in the Blue Nile. Microcystisflos-aqua which had been a minor component of the phytoplankton in both rivers during the early 1950s, showed a profuse growth in the Blue Nile. Lyngbya limnetica, Anabaenopsis cunningtonii and A. tanganyikae, which constituted important components of the phytoplankton in the early 1950s, either disappeared or maintained themselves in reduced numbers during the present study. This change in the algal flora of the two Niles may be attributed to the construction of the Roseres dam across the Blue Nile in 1966 and to the invasion of the White Nile by Eichhornia crassipes in 1957.     

The food and growth of pelagic 0+ Alestes nurse (Characidae) from the Blue Nile,near Khartoum

The food, feeding habits and growth of 0+ Alestes nurse (Rüppel) from the Blue Nile near Khartoum, was investigated. 0+ A. nurse were observed to change their food from phytoplankton and small zooplankton during their pre-metamorphosis stages, to larger zooplankton (Daphnia spp., Chydorus sp.) and insects (larvae, pupae and imagines) during their post-metamorphosis stage.Their growth in length and weight was characterized by two distinct stanzas; during the first stanza, the fish increased in total length at a rate of 0.196 mm mm^–1 wk^–1, and in wet weight at a rate of 0.430 g g^–1 wk^–1. These rates were reduced during the second stanza to 0.046 mm mm^–1 and 0.080 g g^–1 wk^–1, respectively. The calculated value of the exponent b in their length-weight relationship suggested that their growth was allometric.     

Factors which influence the sedimentation characteristics of Torulopsis glabrata after growth in a recirculation system

Summary Some environmental affects on cell aggregation described in the literature are briefly summarized. By means of a biomass recirculation culture (Contact system), using the yeast Torulopsis glabrata, the aggregation behavior of cells in static and in dynamic test systems is described. Sedimentation times required to obtain 50 g · l^–1 yeast dry matter in static systems were always higher than in dynamic ones.In addition to, influencing the biomass yield, the specific growth rate of the yeast also affected cell aggregation. The specific growth rate and therefore the aggregation could be regulated by the biomass recirculation rate as well as by the sedimenter volume.Abbreviations f_o Overflow flow rate (l·h^–1) - f_R Recycle flow rate (l·h^–1) - f_t0t Total flow rate through the fermenter (l·h^–1) - g Gram - h Hour - D_R Fermenter dilution rate due to recycle (h^–1) - D_S Fermeter dilution rate due to substrate (h^–1) - D_tot Total fermenter dilution rate (h^–1) - l Liter - Specific growth rate (h^–1) - P_F Fermenter productivity (g·l^–1·h^–1) - P_FS Overall productivity (g·l^–1·h^–1) - R_pM Rates per minute - RS Residual sugar content in the effluent with respect to the substrate concentration (%) - Y Yield of biomass with respect to sugar concentration (%) - Sed 50 Sedimentation time to reach a YDM of 50 g·l^–1 (min) - V Volume (l) - V_F Fermenter volume (l) - V_Sed Sedimenter volume (l) - VVM Volumes per volume and minute - X_F YDM in the fermenter (g·l^–1) - X_F YDM in the recycle (g·l^–1) - X_S Yeast dry matter due to substrate concentration (g·l^–1) - YDM Yeast dry matter (g·l^–1)     

The Shatt al-Arab River: A nutrient salt and organic matter source to the Arabian Gulf

The distribution of dissolved reactive phosphate, nitrate and nitrite in the waters as well as total organic carbon, total phosphorus and Kjeldahl nitrogen in the sediments of the Shatt al-Arab Estuary and the NW Arabian Gulf were studied from November 1979 to April 1980. The Shatt al-Arab waters contain 0.18 to 0.70 µg-at P-PO _inf4 ^sup3– l^–1, 26.12 to 52.39 µg-at N-N0 _inf3 ^sup– l^–1 and 0.53 to 0.70 µg-at N-NO _inf2 ^sup– l^–1, indicating that this river should be considered a source of nutrients to the Arabian Gulf. It is concluded that most of the nitrate is supplied in dissolved form, while an appreciable amount of phosphate is absorbed to fine suspended particles and released at higher salinities. Total organic carbon in surficial sediments was found to vary between 0.14% and 0.96%. These rather low values are attributed to dilution by dust fallout, which is a major cource of sediments in this area.     

Studies on the variables and kinetics of SCP production from nopal fruit juice

Summary Submerged batch cultivation under controlled environmental conditions of pH 3.8, temperature 30°C, and K_La200 h^–1 (above 180 mMO₂ l ^–1 h^–1 oxygen supply rate) produced a maximum (12.0 g·l ^–1) SCP (Candida utilis) yield on the deseeded nopal fruit juice medium containing C/N ratio of 7.0 (initial sugar concentration 25 g·l ^–1) with a yield coefficient of 0.52 g cells/g sugar. In continuous cultivation, 19.9 g·l ^–1 cell mass could be obtained at a dilution rate (D) of 0.36 h^–1 under identical environmental conditions, showing a productivity of 7.2 g·l ^–1·h^–1. This corresponded to a gain of 9.0 in productivity in continuous culture over batch culture. Starting with steady state values of state variables, cell mass (C_X–19.9 g·l ^–1), limiting nutrient concentration (C_ln–2.5 g·l ^–1) and sugar concentration (C_S–1.5 g·l ^–1) at control variable conditions of pH 3.8, 30°C, and K_La 200 h^–1 keeping D=0.36 h^–1 as reference, transient response studies by step changes of these control variables also showed that this pH, temperature and K_La conditions are most suitable for SCP cultivation on nopal fruit juice. Kinetic equations obtained from experimental data were analysed and kinetic parameters determined graphically. Results of SCP production from nopal fruit juice are described.Nomenclature C_ln concentration of ammonium sulfate (g·l ^–1) - C_S concentration of total sugar (g·l ^–1) - C_X cell concentration (g·l ^–1) - D dilution rate (h^–1) - K_ln Monod's constant (g·l ^–1) - m maintenance coefficient (g ammonium sulfate cell^–1 h^–1) - m_(S) maintenance coefficient (g sugar g cell^–1 h^–1) - t time, h - Y yield coefficient (g cells/g ammonium sulfate) - Y_m maximum of Y - Y_S yield coefficient based on sugar consumed (g cells · g sugar^–1) - Y_S(m) maximum value of Y_S - ^µm maximum specific growth rate constant (h^–1)     

Endogenous opioids may modulate catecholamine secretion during high intensity exercise

To determine the effect of endogenous opioids on catecholamine response during intense exercise [80% maximal oxygen uptake ( O_2max)], nine fit men [mean (SE) ( O_2max, 63.9 (1.7) ml · kg^–1 · min^–1; age 27.6 (1.6) years] were studied during two treadmill exercise trials. A double-blind experimental design was used with subjects undertaking the two exercise trials in counterbalanced order. Exercise trials were 20 min in duration and were conducted 7 days apart. One exercise trial was undertaken following administration of naloxone (N; 1.2 mmol · l^–1; 3 ml) and the other after receiving a placebo (P; 0.9% saline; 3 ml). Prior to each experimental trial a flexible catheter was placed into an antecubital vein and baseline blood samples were collected. Immediately afterwards, each subject received bolus injection of either N or P. Blood samples were also collected after 20 min of continuous exercise while running. Epinephrine and norepinephrine were higher (P < 0.05) in the N than P exercise trial with mean (SE) values of 1679 (196) versus 1196 (155) pmol · l^–1 and 24 (2.2) versus 20 (1.7) nmol · · l^–1 respectively. Glucose and lactate were higher (P < 0.05) in the N than P exercise trial with values of 7 (0.37) versus 5.9 (0.31) mmol · l^–1 and 6.9 (1.1) versus 5.3 (0.9) mmol · l^–1 respectively. These data suggest an opioid inhibition in the release of catecholamines during intense exercise.     

Effect of growth rate on the eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid content of Isochrysis galbana in chemostat culture

An isolate of Isochrysis galbana rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been grown as a chemostat culture at 20° C and pH 8.00 controlled by CO₂ injection. From a low dilution rate (D) of 0.0024 h^–1 to 0.0377 h^–1, close to maximum growth, a decrease in EPA content from 5.21% dry weight (d.w.) to 2.80% d.w. was observed, although the percentage of EPA in the total fatty acids increased. Lipids were fractionated, EPA being the major fatty acid found in the glycolipid fraction, whereas in the neutral lipid fraction were mainly palmitic and palmitoleic acids. At the same time, the biomass concentration also decreased from 1015 mg·l^–1 to 202 mg·l^–1 over the range of Ds mentioned. Nonetheless, EPA productivity had a maximum value of 15.26 mg·l^–1·day^–1 at D=0.0208 h^–1.Correspondence to: E. Molina Grima     

Nutrients in pore waters from Dead Sea sediments

Pore waters were separated from 50 cm-long cores of Dead Sea sediments raised from waters depths of 25, 30 and 318 m. The salinity of the pore water is close to that of the overlying water at 225–230 g l^–1 chloride. The titration alkalinity of the pore water is about 60 % of the overlying water, and sulfate is also depleted. Ammonia and phosphate concentrations are higher than those of the water column with up to 50 mg l^–1 N-NH₃ (ten times increase) and 350 µg l^–1 P-PO _inf4 ^sup3– (four to eight times increase). Early diagenetic reactions are a result of decomposition of organic matter and of water-sediment interactions, resulting in aragonite precipitation, phosphate removal to the sediments, probably by absorption on iron-oxyhydroxides followed by remobilization, reduction of sulfate and formation of iron sulfides and accumulation of ammonia. Mass balance calculations show that pore water contribute about 80% of the ammonia and 30% of the phosphate input into the Dead Sea water column. On the other hand, the sediments act as a sink for carbonate and sulfate.     

The effect of endogenous and externally supplied nitrate on nitrate uptake and reduction in sugarbeet seedlings

The pericarp of the dormant sugarbeet fruit acts as a storage reservoir for nitrate, ammonium and -amino-N. These N-reserves enable an autonomous development of the seedling for 8–10 d after imbibition. The nitrate content of the seed (1% of the whole fruit) probably induces nitrate-reductase activity in the embryo enclosed in the pericarp. Nitrate that leaks out of the pericarp is reabsorbed by the emerging radicle. Seedlings germinated from seeds (pericarp was removed) without external N-supply are able to take up nitrate immediately upon exposure via a low-capacity uptake system (v_max = 0.8 mol NO ₃ ^- ·(g root FW)^–1·h^–1; K_s = 0.12 mM). We assume that this uptake system is induced by the seed nitrate (10 nmol/seed) during germination. Induction of a high-capacity nitrate-uptake system (v_max = 3.4 mol NO ₃ ^- ·(g root FW)^–1·h^–1; K_s = 0.08 mM) by externally supplied nitrate occurs after a 20-min lag and requires protein synthesis. Seedlings germinated from whole fruits absorb nitrate via a highcapacity uptake mechanism induced by the pericarp nitrate (748 nmol/pericarp) during germination. The uptake rates of the high-capacity system depend only on the actual nitrate concentration of the uptake medium and not on prior nitrate pretreatments. Nitrate deprivation results in a decline of the nitrate-uptake capacity (t_1/2 of v_max = 5 d) probably caused by the decay of carrier molecules. Small differences in K_s but significant differences in v_max indicate that the low- and high-capacity nitrate-uptake systems differ only in the number of identical carrier molecules.Abbreviations NR nitrate reductase - pFPA para-fluorophenylalanine This work was supported by a grant from Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie and by Kleinwanzlebener Saatzucht AG, Einbeck.     

Aerobic nitrate and nitrite reduction in continuous cultures of Escherichia coli E4

Nitrate and nitrite was reduced by Escherichia coli E4 in a l-lactate (5 mM) limited culture in a chemostat operated at dissolved oxygen concentrations corresponding to 90–100% air saturation. Nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase activity was regulated by the growth rate, and oxygen and nitrate concentrations. At a low growth rate (0.11 h^–1) nitrate and nitrite reductase activities of 200 nmol · mg^–1 protein · min^–1 and 250 nmol · mg^–1 protein · min^–1 were measured, respectively. At a high growth rate (0.55 h^–1) both enzyme activities were considerably lower (25 and 12 nmol mg^–1 · protein · min^–1). The steady state nitrite concentration in the chemostat was controlled by the combined action of the nitrate and nitrite reductase. Both nitrate and nitrite reductase activity were inversely proportional to the growth rate. The nitrite reductase activity decreased faster with growth rate than the nitrate reductase. The chemostat biomass concentration of E. coli E4, with ammonium either solely or combined with nitrate as a source of nitrogen, remained constant throughout all growth rates and was not affected by nitrite concentrations. Contrary to batch, E. coli E4 was able to grow in continuous cultures on nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen. When cultivated with nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen the chemostat biomass concentration is related to the activity of nitrate and nitrite reductase and hence, inversely proportional to growth rate.     

Effects of specific versus cross-training on running performance

The cross-training (XT) hypothesis suggests that despite the principle of specificity of training, athletes may improve performance in one mode of exercise by training using another mode. To test this hypothesis we studied 30 well-trained individuals (10 men, 20 women) in a randomized longitudinal trail. Subjects were evaluated before and after 8 weeks of enhanced training (+10%/week), accomplished by adding either running (R) or swimming (XT) to baseline running, versus continued baseline running (C). Both R ( – 26.4s) and XT (– 13.2s) improved time trial (3.2 km) performance, whereas C did not (– 5.4s). There were no significant changes during treadmill running in maximum oxygen uptake (O_2peak; – 0.2, – 6.0, and + 2.7%), steady state submaximal O₂ at 2.68 m · s^–1 ( – 1.2, – 3.3 and + 0.2 ml · kg^–1 · min^–1), velocity at O_2peak (+0.05, +0.25 and +0.09 m · s^–1) or accumulated O₂ deficit (+ 11.2, – 6.1 and + 9.4%) in the R, XT or C groups, respectively. There was a significant increase in velocity associated with a blood lactate concentration of 4 mmol · l^–1 in R but not in XT or C ( + 0.32, + 0.07 and + 0.08 m · s^–1). There were significant changes in arm crank O_2peak ( + 5%) and arm crank O₂ at 4 mmol · l^–1 ( + 6.4%) in XT. There was no significant changes in arm crank O_2peak ( + 1.3 and – 7.7%) or arm crank O₂ at 4 mmol · l^–1 ( + 0.8 and + 0.4%) in R or C, respectively. The data suggest that muscularly non-similar XT may contribute to improved running performance but not to the same degree as increased specific tranining.     

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in a mixed methanotrophic culture

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification using a mixed methanotrophic culture was investigated. When both NO₃ ^–-N (108 mg l^–1) and NH₃-N (59 mg l^–1) were added into batch reactors, nitrate removal was complete within 10 h at the rate of 47 mg NO₃ ^–-N g VSS^–1 day^–1 when dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration was maintained at 2 mg DO l^–1. Ammonia removal started simultaneously with nitrate removal at a slower rate of 14 NH₃-N g VSS^–1 day^–1. No significant accumulation of nitrite or nitrate during ammonia utilization suggested the occurrence of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.     

Effects of a plume front on the distribution of inorganic and organic matter off the Rhône River

Hydrological and chemical structures off the Rhône River estuary resulting from the introduction of the river flow into the Mediterranean Sea are described. The effect of the fresh-water/sea-water interface on the distribution of inorganic and organic matter off the Rhône river is investigated. Strong vertical gradients of inorganic and dissolved organic matter such as lipids characterized the first few meters in this area (from 83.7 to 0.6 N-NO₃ µgat l^–1, from 6.39 to 0.92 N-NH₄ µgat l^–1 and from 299 to 73 µg l^–1 of total dissolved lipids). At the interface, substantial increases of particulate organic (PON: from 45 µg l^–1 at surface to 118 µg l^–1 at the interface, POC: from 462 to 876 µg l^–1, total particulate lipids: from 33 to 648 µg l^–1) and suspended matter in general (from 18 to 22.2 mg l^–1) were observed. High phytoplanktonic production may account for some of this enrichment, although passive accumulation might also be involved.     

The production of 2,3-butanediol by fermentation of high test molasses

Summary Klebsiella oxytoca fermented 199 g·l^–1 high test or invert molasses using batch fermentation with substrate shift to produce 95.2–98.6 g 2,3-butanediol·l^–1 and 2,4–4.3 g acetoin·l^–1 with a diol yield of 96–100% of the theoretical value and a diol productivity of 1.0–1.1 g·l^–1·h^–1. Fermentation was performed numerous times with molasses in repeated batch culture with cell recovery. Such repeated batch fermentation, in addition to a high product yield, also showed a very high product concentration. For example, 118 g 2,3-butanediol·l^–1 and 2.3 g acetoin·l^–1 were produced from 280 g·l^–1 of high test molasses. The diol productivity in this fermentation amounted to 2.4 g·l^–1·h^–1 and can undoubtedly be further increased by increasing the cell concentration. Because the Klebsiella cultures ferment 2,3-butanediol at an extremely high rate once the sugar has been consumed, the culture was inhibited completely by the addition of 15 g ethanol·l^–1 and switching off aeration.

Organic reduction of tapioca wastewaters using modified RBC

A modified Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) was used for the treatability studies of synthetic tapioca wastewaters. The RBC used was a four stage laboratory model and the discs were modified by attaching porous nechlon sheets to enhance biofilm area. Synthetic tapioca wastewaters were prepared with influent concentrations from 927 to 3600 mg/l of COD. Three hydraulic loads were used in the range of 0.03 to 0.09 m³·m^–2·d^–1 and the organic loads used were in the range of 28 to 306 g COD· m^–2·d^–1. The percentage COD removal were in the range from 97.4 to 68. RBC was operated at a rotating speed of 18 rpm which was found to be the optimal rotating speed. Biokinetic coefficients based on Kornegay and Hudson models were obtained using linear analysis. Also, a mathematical model was proposed using regression analysis.List of Symbols A m² total surface area of discs - d m active depth of microbial film onany rotating disc - K _s mg ·l^–1 saturation constant - P mg·m^–2·^–1 area capacity - Q l·d^–1 hydraulic flow rate - q m³·m^–2·d^–1 hydraulic loading rate - S ₀ mg·l^–1 influent substrate concentration - S _e mg·l^–1 effluent substrate concentration - w rpm rotational speed - V m³ volume of the reactor - X _f mg·l^–1 active biomass per unit volume ofattached growth - X _s mg·l^–1 active biomass per unit volume ofsuspended growth - X mg·l^–1 active biomass per unit volume - Y _s yield coefficient for attachedgrowth - Y _A yield coefficient for suspendedgrowth - Y yield coefficient, mass of biomass/mass of substrate removed Greek Symbols hr mean hydraulic detention time - (_max)_A d^–1 maximum specific growth rate forattached growth - (_max)_s d^–1 maximum specific growth rate forsuspended growth - _max d^–1 maximum specific growth rate - d^–1 specific growth rate - _v mg·l^–1·hr^–1 maximum volumetric substrateutilization rate coefficient     

Direct alcoholic fermentation of starchy biomass using amylolytic yeast strains in batch and immobilized cell systems

Summary Direct alcoholic fermentation of dextrin or soluble starch with selected amylolytic yeasts was studied in both batch and immobilized cell systems. In batch fermentations, Saccharomyces diastaticus was capable of fermenting high dextrin concentrations much more efficiently than Schwanniomyces castellii. From 200 g·l^–1 of dextrin S. diastaticus produced 77 g·l^–1 of ethanol (75% conversion efficiency). The conversion efficiency decreased to 59% but a higher final ethanol concentration of 120 g·l^–1 was obtained with a medium containing 400 g·l^–1 of dextrin. With a mixed culture of S. diastaticus and Schw. castellii 136 g·l^–1 of ethanol was produced from 400 g·l^–1 of dextrin (67% conversion efficiency). S. diastaticus cells attached well to polyurethane foam cubes and a S. diastaticus immobilized cell reactor produced 69 g·l^–1 of ethanol from 200 g·l^–1 of dextrin, corresponding to an ethanol productivity of 7.6g·l^–1·h^–1. The effluent from a two-stage immobilized cell reactor with S. diastaticus and Endomycopsis fibuligera contained 70 g·l^–1 and 80 g·l^–1 of ethanol using initial dextrin concentrations of 200 and 250 g·l^–1 respectively. The corresponding values for ethanol productivity were 12.7 and 9.6 g·l^–1·h^–1. The productivity of the immobilized cell systems was higher than for the batch systems, but much lower than for glucose fermentation.     

Cell recovery by continuous flotation

Summary Cell recovery by means of continuous flotation of the Hansenula polymorpha cultivation medium without additives was investigated as a function of the cultivation conditions as well as of the flotation equipment construction and flotation operational parameters. The cell enrichment and separation is improved at high liquid residence times, high aeration rates, small bubble sizes, increasing height of the aerated column, and diameter of the foam column. Increasing cell age and cultivation with nitrogen limitation reduce the cell separation.Symbols C_P cell mass concentration in medium g·l^–1 - C_R cell mass concentration in residue g·l^–1 - C_S cell mass concentration in foam liquid g·l^–1 - V equilibrium foam volume cm³ - V gas flow rate through the aerated liquid column cm³·s^–1 - V_F feed rate to the flotation column ml/min - ¹ V _S/V foaminess s - mean liquid residence time in the column s     

Different nitrogen sources and growth responses of Spirulina platensis in microenvironments

Spirulina platensis was cultivated, in comparative studies, using several sources of nitrogen. The standard source used (sodium nitrate) was the same as that used in the synthetic medium Zarrouk, whereas the alternative nitrogen sources consisted of ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate or acid ammonium phosphate. The initial nitrogen concentrations tested were 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05 M in an aerated photobioreactor at 30 °C, with an illuminance of 1900 lux, and 12 h-light/12 h-dark photoperiod over a period of 672 h. Maximum biomass was produced in medium containing sodium nitrate (0.01–0.03–0.05 M), followed by ammonium nitrate (0.01 M) and urea (0.01 M). The final biomass concentrations were 1.992 g l^–1 (0.03 M sodium nitrate), 1.628 g l^–1 (0.05 M sodium nitrate), 1.559 g l^–1 (0.01 M sodium nitrate), 0.993 g l^–1 (0.01 M ammonium nitrate) and 0.910 g l^–1 (0.01 M urea). This suggested that it is possible to utilize nitrogen sources other than sodium nitrate for growing S. platensis, in order to decrease the production costs of scaled up projects.     

Mineral nutrient demands of the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) in the White Nile

The possibility that the stunted growth of the water hyacinth in Bahr el Ghazal river in Sudan is influenced by nutrient elements is considered. Greenhouse experiments were carried out to determine the effects of deficiency and mineral nutrient additions on the growth of this plant. The water hyacinth was found to grow at a wide range of nutrient levels. Maximum growth was recorded at 21 mg l^–1 N, 62 mg l^–1 P, and 0.60 mg l^–1 Fe.
