Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The experimental approach of anaerobic biodegradation processes was undertaken in the Calvi Bay (Corsica) and in an aquarium. Three types of calcified skeletons were considered: isolated prismatic layer of Pinna nobilis (bivalvia) shell, nacreous layer of Nautilus pompilius (cephalopod) shell and stereom of Sphaerechinus granularis (echinoid) skeletal plates. The experimental material was embedded into organoclastic sand-filled closed jars retrieved periodically (1, 3, 6 or 9 months). I.C.P. and X-ray diffraction analysis, protein, chitin and enzymatic activity estimation showed that calcified skeleton biodegradation occurred very fast in anaerobiosis. Anoxic weathering was almost as fast as the aerobic one. Biodegradation patterns were very different from one type of calcified skeleton to another, caused by differences of organic matter distribution. In opposition to "classical" views, it is shown that anoxic biodegradation processes occur in very similar ways as oxic ones. |
