Bioenergetic Controls on Microbial Ecophysiology in Marine Sediments
Marine sediments constitute one of the most energy-limited habitats on Earth, in which microorganisms persist over extraordinarily long timescales with very slow metabolisms. This habitat provides an ideal environment in which to study the energetic limits of life. However, the bioenergetic factors that can determine whether microorganisms will grow, lie dormant, or die, as well as the selectiv...
متن کاملFe-phyllosilicate redox cycling organisms from a redox transition zone in Hanford 300 Area sediments
Microorganisms capable of reducing or oxidizing structural iron (Fe) in Fe-bearing phyllosilicate minerals were enriched and isolated from a subsurface redox transition zone at the Hanford 300 Area site in eastern Washington, USA. Both conventional and in situ "i-chip" enrichment strategies were employed. One Fe(III)-reducing Geobacter (G. bremensis strain R1, Deltaproteobacteria) and six Fe(II...
متن کاملMotility of bacteria in sediments
Motility and chemotactic responses to dissolved organic matter of bacteria living within different types of sediments were investigated down to 35 cm beneath the sediment surface. At least 20% of bacteria swim, although they often attach temporarily to solid surfaces, and they respond to point sources of organic matter. Altogether their motile behaviour and their relative densities are very sim...
متن کاملVitamin B1 ecophysiology of marine picoeukaryotic algae: Strain-specific differences and a new role for bacteria in vitamin cycling
We confirmed multiple picoeukaryotic algae, Ostreococcus, Micromonas, and Pelagomonas spp., as thiamine (vitamin B1) auxotrophs in laboratory experiments with axenic cultures. Examined strains have half saturation growth constants (Ks) for B1 between 1.26 and 6.22 pmol B1 L , which is higher than reported seawater concentrations. Minimum B1 cell quotas for Ostreococcus and Micromonas spp. are h...
متن کاملEcophysiology of abundant denitrifying bacteria in activated sludge.
The abundance of potential denitrifiers in full-scale wastewater treatment plants with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal was investigated by FISH and various oligonucleotide probes. The potential denitrifiers were characterized as probe-defined populations that were able to consume radiolabelled substrate with oxygen, nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptor as determined by microautor...
