Community dynamics within a bacterial consortium during growth on toluene under sulfate-reducing conditions.
A sulfate-reducing bacterial consortium was enriched from an anoxic aquifer contaminated with BTEX compounds, using toluene as a growth substrate. Total cell counts, protein contents and sulfide production were determined to follow growth at the in situ temperature (14 degrees C) and at 25 degrees C, respectively. Community members were identified by 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing. Phylog...
متن کاملComparison of mechanisms of alkane metabolism under sulfate-reducing conditions among two bacterial isolates and a bacterial consortium.
Recent studies have demonstrated that fumarate addition and carboxylation are two possible mechanisms of anaerobic alkane degradation. In the present study, we surveyed metabolites formed during growth on hexadecane by the sulfate-reducing isolates AK-01 and Hxd3 and by a mixed sulfate-reducing consortium. The cultures were incubated with either protonated or fully deuterated hexadecane; the su...
متن کاملComplete oxidation of toluene under strictly anoxic conditions by a new sulfate-reducing bacterium.
A toluene-degrading sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain Tol2, was isolated from marine sediment under strictly anoxic conditions. Toluene was toxic if applied directly to the medium at concentrations higher than 0.5 mM. To provide toluene continuously at a nontoxic concentration, it was supplied in an inert hydrophobic carrier phase. The isolate had oval, sometimes motile cells (1.2 to 1.4 by 1....
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of toluene and xylene by aquifer microorganisms under sulfate-reducing conditions.
Toluene and the three isomers of xylene were completely mineralized to CO2 and biomass by aquifer-derived microorganisms under strictly anaerobic conditions. The source of the inoculum was gasoline-contaminated sediment from Seal Beach, Calif. Evidence confirming that sulfate was the terminal electron acceptor is presented. Benzene and ethylbenzene were not degraded under the experimental condi...
متن کاملMicrobial reduction of uranium under iron- and sulfate-reducing conditions: Effect of amended goethite on microbial community composition and dynamics.
There is a growing need for a better understanding of the biogeochemical dynamics involved in microbial U(VI) reduction due to an increasing interest in using biostimulation via electron donor addition as a means to remediate uranium contaminated sites. U(VI) reduction has been observed to be maximized during iron-reducing conditions and to decrease upon commencement of sulfate-reducing conditi...
