drawn on the basis of the theory
have practical significance for
biodiversity conservation and for the

studied. After three days of the
damaging effects of the detergent,
the effect on the plants was observed

damaging effects manifested as the
reduction of the turgor pressure,
resulting in the apical parts of shoots
bent down (there was no shoots with
apical parts growing upwards). With
a more prolonged incubation (over
10 days), the damaging effects
observed at lower concentrations of

fundamental concept is proposed of aquatic ecosystem as a
bioreactor that carries out the function of water purification in natural
water bodies and streams. The ecosystem as a bioreactor has the
following characteristic attributes: (1) it is a large-scale (large-
volume) bioreactor; (2) it is a diversified (in terms of the number of
taxa and the scope of functional activities) bioreactor; (3) it possesses
a broad range of biocatalytic (chemical-transforming and degrading)
capabilities.

[In the paper, the author developed a new approach to analyze the fundamental ecological issue, the
interactions between organisms in ecosystems. He suggested to use the methodology of inhibitory
analysis to study interactions in trophic chains. Important situation is the top–down control of
plankton by benthic filter-feeders. This control, as author’s experiments have shown, might be
removed by chemical inhibitors (the latter may enter the ecosystem as pollutants)].

the author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active populations of filter-feeders, including
bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or malacological) reserves (some
variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological and hydrobiological reserves
(Tabl. 3). Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations". The paper contains data on how 5 detergents (1-50
mg/L) inhibited the filtration activity of Unio tumidus, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas

Abstracts in Eng. and Italian. [A fundamental concept is proposed of aquatic ecosystem as a
bioreactor that carries out the function of water purification in natural water bodies and streams.
The ecosystem as a bioreactor has the following characteristic attributes: (1) it is a large-scale
(large-volume) bioreactor; (2) it is a diversified (in terms of the number of taxa and the scope of
functional activities) bioreactor; (3) it possesses a broad range of biocatalytic (chemical-
transforming and degrading) capabilities. New experimental data on xenobiotics - induced
inhibition of the water filtration performed by the molluscs Unio tumidus, U. pictorum, M.
galloprovincialis and inhibition of feeding by Limnaea stagnalis emphasized the potential
ecological hazard from sublethal concentrations of pollutants (including those exemplified by
synthetic surfactants and detergents).

of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Hydrobionts
(aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not
only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and
many other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results
of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms
(freshwater and marine bivalves) are given. The theory is an innovative basis for developing
ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using organisms and
ecosystems [http://scindeks.nb.rs/article.aspx?artid=0354-32850750015O].

A new set of ecological generalizations formulated in this paper represent, in a systematized form,
the basic elements of the qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality and water self-
purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory contributes to a better understanding
of the issues of stability and regulation in the biosphere. The theory is supported by the results of
the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by surfactants, detergents and other
pollutants on aquatic organisms.

Abstract: In the paper, the author proposed a new approach to analyze the key ecological issue, the interactions between organisms in ecosystems. The
new methodology proposed is inhibitory analysis. The author applied this approach to analyze trophic chains: the top–down control of plankton by benthic
filter-feeders. This control, as the author’s experiments have shown, might be removed by chemical inhibitors (the latter may enter the ecosystem as
pollutants). As an example, the author gives the results of his experiments on how surfactants [tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA)], and
synthetic detergents inhibited the control of plankton (algae Monochrystis lutheri) by marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. The method was successfully
applied to innovatively analyze the factors that are among reasons of eutrophication. Among new facts: the cationic surfactant TDTMA 1 mg/L inhibited the
filtration rate of juveniles of marine bivalves Mytilus galloprovincialis, and the removal of cells of the algae Monochrysis lutheri from water (50 min, 26˚C)].

  New data on coupling of geochemical and ecological (hydrobiological) processes. The role of freshwater mollusks Lymnaea stagnalis   in the flows of
chemical elements in the biosphere was studied by detecting the elemental composition and amount of pellets produced by the mollusks.  For the first
time, the following was quantitatively studied: the elemental composition (C, N, P, Si, Al) of pellets formed by mollusks Lymnaea stagnalis feeding on the
leaves of higher plants Nuphar lutea and Taraxacum officinale; the amount (wet weight, dry weight) of pellets formed by L. stagnalis feeding on the leaves
of N. lutea and T. officinale; the transfer of matter and chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, Al)  with pellets of freshwater bivalves (unionids Unio sp., etc.) per
unit biomass of mollusks and per unit area of the ecosystem of the river; the transfer of matter and chemical elements (C, N, P, Si, Al) with pellets of L.
stagnalis per unit biomass of mollusks and per unit area of the ecosystem of the pond. Synthetic surfactants ТDТМА 2 mg/l, SDS 1-2 mg/l, detergent Tide-

Springer, orderdept@springer-sbm.com. As a result of the author’s studies of filter-feeders (DAN, 1998, Vol. 362, P. 574-576; DAN, 2001, Vol. 378, P. 283-
285), it is clear that the filtering activity of populations of filter-feeders in natural habitats might be significantly reduced if the concentrations of some
pollutants reach certain levels. The role of filter-feeders as factors of water purification in ecosystems is so important that their inhibition is a danger for the
entire ecosystem. The author emphasizes that not only the biodiversity of filter-feeders but also their level of functional (filtration) activity is to be
protected. In order to do so, the author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active
populations of filter-feeders, including bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or
malacological) reserves (some variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological
and hydrobiological reserves (Tabl. 3). Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations". The paper contains
data on how 5 detergents (1-50 mg/L) inhibited the filtration activity of Unio tumidus, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas (Tabl. 2); on effects on
the efficiency of elimination (EEE) of suspended matter from water were measured (Tabl. 2); on the number of days (0.3 – 10) needed to filter the volume
of aquatic (freshwater and marine) ecosystem by the local bivalves (a review of data from literature) (Tabl. 1). "I suggest that the existing system of
protected terrestrial and water areas should be supplemented with special sites intended to conserve populations of filter-feeders. In addition to
biodiversity conservation, these populations should be conserved because they fulfill a very important biogeocenotic function of water filtration and
purification" (p.149). "The system of five principles…is proposed to provide an ecological basis of the environment conservation conditions at these sites
(malacological and hydrobiological reserves)" (p.149).]. DOI 10.1023/A:1015398125876; www.springerlink.com/index/1MNVLNAYW36TC92R.pdf;

Bibliogr.15. ISSN 0012-4966. Discovery of a new type of negative impact of pollutants on the biosphere, as a result of inhibition of water filtration by filter-
feeders / suspension feeders. The water filtration and associated removal of suspended matter from water is part of migration of matter. As V.I. Vernadsky
stressed, organisms are mediators of “biogenic migration of atoms in the biosphere”. This migration is partly implemented in the framework of pelagial–
benthal coupling via the activity of filter-feeders, which remove the organic suspended matter from water and excrete pellets. The tables contains the
following data: the average percentage of assimilated (16-90%) and non-assimilated (10-84%) food matter for 15 large taxa of invertebrates (Table 1);
potassium bichromate inhibited water filtration by mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis (Table 2); surfactants, detergents, pesticides inhibited filtration by filter-
feeders, marine and freshwater bivalves and rotifers (Table 3). A prediction was made: "Further research and experimental studies are expected to provide
new evidence that sublethal concentrations of chemical pollutants induce a significant decrease in the filtration capacity of freshwater and marine filter
feeders" (p.129). "The uncoupling process considered above is an anthropogenic violation of two basic laws (empirical rules or biogeochemical principles)
of the biosphere functioning: (1) biogenic migration of atoms of chemical elements in the biosphere always tends toward its maximum expression; (2) on
the geological time scale, the evolution of species gives rise to the forms of life that are stable in the biosphere, and is so directed that the biogenic

role of ecological repair of water quality, (2) the role of contributing to reliability and stability of the functioning of the ecosystem, (3) the role of
contributing to creation of habitat heterogeneity, (4) the role of contributing to acceleration of migration of chemical elements. It is an important feature of
the biomachinery of filter-feeders that it removes from water various particles of a very broad range of sizes. Another important principle is that the
amount of the organic matter filtered out of water is larger than the amount assimilated so that a significant part of the removed material serves no useful
function to the organism of the filter-feeder, but serves a beneficial function to some other species and to the ecosystem as a whole. The new experiments
by the author additionally demonstrated a vulnerability of the filtration activity of filter feeders (e.g. bivalves and rotifers) to some   xenobiotics
(tetradecyltrymethylammonium bromide, heavy metals and some others). The inhibition of the filtration activity of filter-feeders may lead to the situation
previously described as that of an ecological impairment of the second type. DOI 10.1007/s10750-004-1875-1;

Abstract: Macrophytes are important components of ecosystems and participate in the purification of water, which contributes to the sustainability of water
quality. This is especially important in conditions of pollution of water bodies and water streams. Surfactants constitute an important class of pollutants.
Therefore, further investigation and clarification of the facts concerning the interaction of plants and various surfactants are necessary. The present paper
presents the results of investigations of the effect of various concentrations of aqueous solutions of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)
on the viability of the aquatic macrophytes, the pondweed Potamogeton crispus L. When the effects of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate on
the aquatic macrophytes Potamogeton crispus L. were studied, it was found that the concentrations of 83–133 mg/l caused fragmentation of the stems of
plants. The tolerance of the plants to the negative effects of the surfactant was higher in the spring (April) than in the autumn (September).
