Summary:

The effect of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) on the structure and function of microbial communities was studied in a flow-through model ecosystem containing several trophic levels. The LAS was supplied to 19-litre glass aquaria at 0.5 and 5.0 mg/litre in either well water (Phase I) or sewage effluent (Phase II). The structure of microbial populations was estimated from measurements of total viable biomass; function assays consisted of measuring rates of glucose or LAS degradation, or both. Assays of microbial function were also carried out in waters from two rivers.
