ABSTRACT. In a series of research articles and books, the author originated a novel theory of ecosystem-driven water self-purification. Fundamental elements are formulated by the author for a qualitative theory of the polyfunctional (multifunctional) role of the biota (living organisms) in maintaining water self-purification and water quality in aquatic ecosystems. In this article the attention given to biological (biotic) factors involved in water self-purification in aquatic ecosystems. The author produced a list of the main biological (biotic) factors which are of key importance to the mechanisms and processes of water self-purification and commented these factors.

ABSTRACT: General principles of the theory of polyfunctional role of biota in self-purification of water in aquatic ecosystems have been formulated. The theory includes the following elements: (1) energy sources for self-purification of aquatic ecosystems; (2) main functional units of the self-purification system; (3) main self-purification processes; (4) contributions of major taxa to self-purification of aquatic ecosystems; (5) reliability of the system and mechanisms ensuring it; (6) self-regulation of biota; (7) response of the system to external stimuli (impacts); (8) analogy between an ecosystem and a bioreactor; (9) conclusions for nature conservation practice. The theory covers both freshwater and marine ecosystems.

It is the first paper in which a synthesis of both authors new experimental data and international literature was made, which led to a new broad picture of the fundamental role of biological filtering in self-purification ( and self-bioremediation, self-organization, as well as stability) of aquatic ecosystems.

A. Biological filtering and ecological machinery for self-purification and bioremediation in aquatic ecosystems: towards a holistic view. - Rivista di Biologia. 1998; 91(2): 221-232. PMID: 9857844 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] According to one of approaches to the definition of criteria for the phenomenon of life, the key attribute is the ability of the life system for some self-regulating and self-supporting. Part of such holistic functions of aquatic ecosystems as self-regulating and self-supporting is their cleaning the water via a multitude of various mechanisms. The goal of this paper is to present some fundamental elements of the theory of ecosystem self-purification (water self-purification) which emphasizes the importance of the four functional biological filters that are instrumental in purification and upgrading the quality of water in aquatic ecosystems. These functional filters are: (1) direct water filtering by aquatic organisms that are filter-feeders; (2) the filter (represented mainly by communities of aquatic plants/periphyton) which prevents input of pollutants and biogenic elements (N, P) from land into water bodies and water streams; (3) the filter (represented by benthic organisms) which prevents re-entry of pollutants and biogenic elements from the bottom sediments into the water; (4) the filter (represented by microorganisms attached to particles which are suspended in the water) that provides microbiological treatment of the water column. New experimental data by the author reveal the negative role of manmade effects on the ecological machinery which purifies water. The analysis and discussion lead to the holistic theory of the natural process of bioremediation of aquatic ecosystems. ** http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/08/new-broad-picture-of-fundamental-role.html ** Keywords: self-regulating and self-supporting, aquatic ecosystems, theory of ecosystem selfpurification, upgrading the quality of water, water filtering by aquatic organisms that are filter-feeders; communities of aquatic plants/periphyton, pollutants and biogenic elements (N, P), benthic organisms, microorganisms attached to particles which are suspended in the water, microbiological treatment of water column, man-made effects, natural process of bioremediation; https://www.academia.edu/1900925/;
