| Abstract |
Wastewater treatment by gamma radiation is a promising technology, with the capacity to reduce the impact of chemical and biological pollution of effluents in the environment. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of gamma radiation on the inactivation response of wastewater microorganisms. Wastewater samples were irradiated at a Co-60 facility, at different dose rates and at sublethal doses. The D10-values of total coliforms and mesophilic microbiota were determined for each sample and dose rate. Radio-resistant microorganisms in wastewater samples were isolated and their growth and inactivation kinetics in different composition substrates were determined, to find out the capacity of these bacteria to biodegrade the organic content of the wastewater. The results obtained suggest that irradiation substrate and dose rate influence the response of microorganisms to gamma radiation and could be also important factors for bioremediation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 September 2015.
All research outputs
#21,162,249
of 23,815,455 outputs
Outputs from Radiation and Environmental Biophysics
#407
of 456 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,503
of 269,989 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Radiation and Environmental Biophysics
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,815,455 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 456 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 269,989 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
