Abstract: The environment and
especially the
outskirts of cities are constantly facing numerous
environmental challenges, one of
which is the growing pollution due to accumulation of
cellulose-containing
waste. The same is observed during the long-term manned
space flights: a
huge amount of cellulose
waste
are accumulated, the
utilization of which is a definitive scientific challenge.
In
recent years, many scientists have deepened and expanded
their research on this
issue concerning life support systems in long-term
spaceflight, which still
remains unresolved. Many experiments are being conducted
on biodegradation
processes in the conditions of simulated microgravity
focused on their future
application for the effective waste utilization in the life
support system. The microgravity
conditions have been shown to lead to changes in bacterial
gene expression,
growth rate, reduced motility, increased virulence and
biofilm formation, etc.
Therefore, this review aims to throw light on the types of cellulose
substrates and the various
approaches for their biodegradation in Earth’s conditions
and long-term manned
space flights.

ASSESSMENT OF
THE RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES IMPATIENS GLANDULIFERA ROYLE
Plamen Glogov, Stela Gudorova, Mariam Bozhilova, Mira L. Georgieva
Abstract: Based on
comparative data taken from similar researches it was made
an analysis of the
resource potential of Impatiens
glandulifera
populations in specific areas and the possibilities for
realization of the products according to the needs of the
Bulgarian market. The
total area of Impatiens
glandulifera populations
in the studied area is approximately 5000 m2. The
estimated biomass
of the populations is 2,89 t and their gross calorific value
is 47627,2 MJ. The
annual seed production of the species’ population in the
research area is
approximately 621 kg air-dry mass. The annual production of
pollen is about 6
kg dry matter, and the honey production is 137,8 kg.
Opportunities for
utilization of plant biomass in the studied area at this
stage are limited, due
to the prospect of a significant reduction in the size of
its populations in
the upcoming years due to the envisaged control measures
related to the
conservation of biodiversity in natural habitats. At this
stage, there is
insufficient investor interest, production conditions and
resources to use the
production of Impatiens
glandulifera
as a source of biofuels. Small-range producers at a local
level, where it is
advisable to establish mixed production with other species,
could use the
output of fodder and honey. The effect of the medicinal and
nutritional
properties of the plant in the conditions of the Bulgarian
socio-cultural and
business environment requires confirmation based on in-depth
studies before
taking actions related to their marketing.
Keywords:
invasive alien
species, special uses, biofuels, honey, environmental

DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN
THE POPULATIONS OF PLATANUS ORIENTALIS
L. IN BULGARIA -
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON NEUTRAL MARKERS AND
QUANTITATIVE SIGNS
Mira L. Georgieva
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to perform a comparative
analysis of data from the
two main types of studies on genetic differentiation in natural
populations of Platanus
orientalis L. in Bulgaria based
on neutral genetic
markers and quantitative traits. The objects of
study include nine
natural populations, representing the full distribution of
the species in our
country. Population differentiation calculated on the
basis of neutral markers
(FST) was estimated at 0.077 (FST=0.077). For
comparison, the
differentiation calculated on the basis of quantitative
adaptive traits was
used, which is the ratio of the variation within the
populations (0.0397) and
the total phenotypic variation composed of the variation
between the
populations (0.18987) and the intrapopulation component.
Thus, the
differentiation based on quantitative characteristics has
a value of 0.17 (QST
= 0.17). Quantitative traits should not be underestimated
in studies of genetic
variability between populations, at the expense of neutral
molecular genetic
markers, such as isoenzymes and various DNA markers. The
results of these
analyzes are obtained much faster, while the study of
quantitative traits
requires different
progeny tests and other experiments that take more time, but the
information obtained
from them is no less important because they are related in
most cases with the
adaptability of individuals and hence with conservation
practice.
Keywords: oriental plane,
genetic diversity, differentiation,
quantitative traits, population.

AN
ATTEMPT TO A CLASSIFICATION OF PLANT COMMUNITIES WITH THE
PARTICIPATION OF FRAXINUS
ORNUS L. IN BULGARIA
Stela Gudorova, Plamen Glogov
Abstract: The purpose
of this study
is to make an inventory of the data from the studies on
phytocenoses with diagnostic participation of Fraxinus ornus L. in Europe and Bulgaria and
to present an
up-to-date syntaxonomic classification of this type of
communities for the
territory of the country.
As a result of
the study of the communities with the participation of flowering ash,
19 associations of 4 classes, 5 orders and 7 unions were
established, of which
the greatest diversity of these communities is observed in
the class Quercetea
pubescentis and in the type
Xerophytic and mesoxerophytic, microthermal and mesothermal
vegetation in the
xerothermic oak belt and in the hilly plains.
Most of the
communities form habitats of conservation
importance, included in national and international
legislative documents
related to their protection. Over 50% of these habitats fall
into the
categories of "endangered" and "potentially endangered".
The presented
classification will help in the future studies on the communities
involving flowering ash,
forecasting their dynamics in natural plantations and
artificial stands and
applying effective silvicultural systems to restore
indigenous vegetation
types.
Key
words: phytocenoses,
derivative vegetation, shrubs,
xerophytes,
thermophilic oaks.

Abstract. Microbiological fuel cells (MFCs) are
bio-electrochemical reactors which
convert the chemical energy of organic matter into
electricity due to the
specific electrogenic activity of certain groups of
microorganisms. In the
past, this technology was considered mainly as a source of
alternative energy
but today it is believed that the main advantages of these
systems originate
from their alternative application as a tool for studying
various processes of
biological wastewater treatment. However, in order MFCs to
be applied as such,
we need to gather detailed knowledge of their working
mechanisms. In this
context the aim of this review is to disclose the biology of
anode processes in
MFCs and to provide more clarity regarding the mechanisms of
electron transfer
in the anodic
chamber.

Abstract. Experimental
studies
of two-phase anaerobic digestion
of corn
steep liquor in continuous automatic
and
semi-automatic modes of
the cascade system
with simultaneous operation
of both monitoring
and control
systems were performed. Corn
steep
liquor - a waste product from the process of treatment corn
grain for starch
extraction - was used
as a substrate in
the process of anaerobic biodegradation with hydrogen and methane production. The daily
yields
of biohydrogen in bioreactor 1 of the cascade (with working
volume of 10
dm3)
are
variable and in good
operation are in the range of 0.7 to 1.0 l of biogas from
1 dm3
working volume of the bioreactor, and the optimal pH range
is in the range of
5.0 - 5.5. The
concentration
of hydrogen in the biogas from the hydrogen bioreactor 1 when
a
good
process is
accomplished is
in
the range of 14 - 34.7%. The daily
yields of biomethane in bioreactor 2
of the cascade (with
working volume of 80
dm3)
vary
in the range from
0.4
to 0.85 l of biogas from 1 dm3 working volume
of the bioreactor, and
the concentration of methane in the biogas from bioreactor
2 is high and
remains practically constant (in the range 65-69%). At a
dilution rate of 0.4
day-1 and a organic
loading rate of 20
g/l for
bioreactor 1, respectively a dilution rate of 0.05 day-1
for
bioreactor
2, the
best results were
obtained.
