Metabolic Flexibility of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria
Dissimilatory sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRB) are a very diverse group of anaerobic bacteria that are omnipresent in nature and play an imperative role in the global cycling of carbon and sulfur. In anoxic marine sediments sulfate reduction accounts for up to 50% of the entire organic mineralization in coastal and shelf ecosystems where sulfate diffuses several meters deep into the sediment....
متن کاملCommunity size and metabolic rates of psychrophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria in Arctic marine sediments.
The numbers of sulfate reducers in two Arctic sediments with in situ temperatures of 2.6 and -1.7 degrees C were determined. Most-probable-number counts were higher at 10 degrees C than at 20 degrees C, indicating the predominance of a psychrophilic community. Mean specific sulfate reduction rates of 19 isolated psychrophiles were compared to corresponding rates of 9 marine, mesophilic sulfate-...
متن کاملSulfurous Analysis of Bioelectricity Generation from Sulfate-reducing Bacteria (SRB) in a Microbial Fuel Cell
The current importance of energy emphasizes the use of renewable resources (such as wastewater) for electricity generation by microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the present study, the native sulfate-reducing bacterial strain (R.gh 3) was employed simultaneously for sulfurous component removal and bioelectricity generation. In order to enhance the electrical conductivity and provision of a compatible...
متن کاملFractionation of Hydrogen Isotopes by Sulfate- and Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria
Hydrogen atoms from water and food are incorporated into biomass during cellular metabolism and biosynthesis, fractionating the isotopes of hydrogen-protium and deuterium-that are recorded in biomolecules. While these fractionations are often relatively constant in plants, large variations in the magnitude of fractionation are observed for many heterotrophic microbes utilizing different central...
متن کاملKinetics of Colony Formation by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria
The colony formation of sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Desulfotomaculum orientis, on agar plates well fitted the theoretical curve of the FOR model proposed by Hattori (1985) The estimates of A for both strains dropped from 5 to I day-1 with cultivation in a liquid medium or starvation in a buffer solution, while that of tr was not affected so much The estimates of h...
