    摘要: An example of an apparatus and method of operating the apparatus to treat produced water. The apparatus includes a cavitation chamber. In addition, the apparatus includes an inlet to receive produced water with a microorganism. The apparatus further includes a pump to pump the produced water from the inlet into the cavitation chamber at a predetermined pressure. The apparatus also includes an injector to inject a biocide to the produced water to control a population of the microorganism. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a micro-bubble generator disposed within the cavitation chamber. The micro-bubble generator reduces a pressure of the produced water below a fluid vapor pressure to create micro-bubbles which collapse to generate a micro shockwave to enhance the efficacy of the biocide at reducing the population of the microorganism. The apparatus further includes an outlet to release the produced water after the population of the microorganism is lowered.

    摘要: Methods for improving the ability of a population of biological agents to compete and survive in a field setting are provided. By improving the population of biological agents, the modified population of agents is able to grow, compete with other microbial strains and fungi, and provide protection for plants from pathogens. In particular, modified biological agents and modified populations of such agents that are herbicide tolerant or resistant are selected or engineered. In this manner, the protection from disease-causing agents is enhanced. Such modified populations of biological agents can be added to soils to prevent fungal pathogens and the diseases they cause promoting plant growth. Therefore, the present invention is useful for enhancing the competitiveness of modified biological agents particularly over other microbial agents which are not herbicide resistant. Compositions of the invention include selected or engineered herbicide resistant biological agents and modified populations of biocontrol agents. These modified biological agents can be used as an inoculant or as a seed coating for plants and seeds.
