- GENERAL CHEMISTRY OF AQUATIC SYSTEMS / Jacques Buffle and Werner Stumm: Global chemical description of aquatic systems -- Principles of chemical equilibria -- Chemical control of redox and acid-base conditions by major elements -- Chemical control of minor elements: complexation and adsorption reactions -- THE ROLE OF COORDINATION AT THE SURFACE OF AQUATIC PARTICLES / Werner Stumm, Laura Sigg, and Barbara Sulzberger: The particle surface as a carrier of functional groups: surface complex formation -- Surface reaction and particle charge: coagulation in natural systems -- Surface complexation by naturally occurring particles -- Biological surfaces as coordinating interfaces -- Structure and chemical processes at solid-solution interfaces -- TRANSFORMATIONS OF IRON AT REDOX BOUNDARIES / Richard R. De Vitre, Barbara Sulzberger, and Jacques Buffle: Origin and nature of iron species in lakes -- Physical circulation processes of autochthonous iron species in anoxic water layers -- Oxidation-hydrolysis reactions -- Reduction/dissolution reactions in dark environments -- Photochemical reduction of iron(III) species -- PROCESSES OCCURRING AT THE SEDIMENT-WATER INTERFACE: EMPHASIS ON TRACE ELEMENTS / Andre Tessier, Richard Carignan, and Nelson Belzile: Measurement of concentration profiles and fluxes across the sediment-water interface -- Processes involving trace elements in recent sediments -- REGULATION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN LAKES: THE ROLE OF SEDIMENTATION / Laura Sigg: Inputs of trace metals to lakes -- Removal of trace elements from the water column by sedimentation -- Metal concentrations in the water column -- UPTAKE OF TRACE METALS BY AQUATIC ORGANISMS / Andre Tessier, Jacques Buffle, and Peter G. C. Campbell: Transport processes across biological membranes -- Uptake from solution by organisms exposed to dissolved trace metals only -- Uptake by organisms exposed to particulate trace metals — Benthic organisms -- CELL STRUCTURE AND METABOLISM AND ITS RELATION WITH THE ENVIRONMENT / Reiner Bachofen: The cell as a single compartment in its environment -- Structure and function of the biological membrane -- Cells as multicompartment systems -- Energy transduction in cells -- Energy conversion and adaptation to extreme environments -- Interaction with solutes and ions of the environment -- Sensing of and reaction to environmental signals -- MICROBIAL ACTIVITIES AND THEIR ECO-CHEMICAL INFLUENCE / Kurt Hanselmann: Biomass synthesis: objectives -- Biomass synthesis stoichiometry -- Energetics of biomass formation -- Energy yield: microbial choice of assimilation and dissimilation reactions in a complete ecosystem -- Energetics principles applied to microbial abilities -- MICROORGANISMS IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT / Kurt Hanselmann: Ecological dimensions -- Structure and function of microbial ecosystems.
