Algal or bacterial-dominated biofilms were grown by varying nutrient conditions. Both types of microbial communities accumulated TBT in excess of 300 ng/mg biomass (dry weight basis) from estuarine water solutions containing 50 ,ug/L TBT, corresponding to bioconcentration factors of over 7000. No degradation of TBT to dibutyltin (DBT) species was detected, either in the biofilm material or in the surrounding solution. Thus, the microbial biofilms concentrated but did not degrade TBT. These results suggest that microbial films on TBT-painted structures in marine environments concentrate TBT at materials surfaces, thereby acting as \"capacitors\". Such effects might make practical the use of paints with extremely low TBT release rates delivering antifouling service with reduced environmental hazard.","PeriodicalId":435174,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '88.

The Gemini development used advanced submersible-technology designs, including a fiber-optic umbilical cable, dual spatially correspondent heave-duty manipulators, and an air-transportable aluminium handling system. The authors describe the engineering development and systems integration. Specific areas of discussion include telemetry system design and integration for this great depth, cable design, power system engineering, vehicle sensor and manipulators/tools specification and integration, and handling system design. Sea testing is also addressed, with a focus on operational problems and solutions when working in 10000-ft depths.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":435174,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '88.
