Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the Sydney Marriott - Hyde Park.Friday, October 1st, 2010 from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the Melbourne Marriot.
Tuesday, October 5th, 2010 from 8:30 to 12:30 at Brisbane location TBA
Site managers now have a broad spectrum of molecular biological tools (MBTs) and advanced analytical techniques at their disposal to comprehensively evaluate treatment options and performance. While each advanced diagnostic tool can provide valuable information, selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective technology to best answer site-specific questions and guide site management decisions can be a confusing and daunting task. Workshop attendees will gain a practical understanding of the application of state of the art tools to document and quantify the role of in-situ biodegradation.
The objectives of this workshop are to:
• Give a brief overview of each technology
• Discuss advantages and limitations
• Examine how and when to apply each technology through real world examples
Presentations will focus on:
• Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) – prove biodegradation is occurring
• In Situ Microcosms (ISMs) – evaluate and compare remediation alternatives in the field
• CENSUS & quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) – quantify organisms or processes responsible for biodegradation
• Phospholipid Fatty Acids (PLFA) – viable biomass & microbial community fingerprints
• Bio-Trap Samplers – passive sampling tools for microbes
The final portion of the workshop can be an interactive discussion of case studies or an informal Q&A session. All workshop guests are encouraged to bring their own site data for evaluation to promote a lively discussion!
