Microbial manganese reduction by enrichment cultures from coastal marine sediments.
Manganese reduction was catalyzed by enrichment cultures of anaerobic bacteria obtained from coastal marine sediments. In the absence of oxygen, these enrichment cultures reduced manganates when grown on either lactate, succinate, or acetate in both sulfate-free and sulfate-containing artificial seawaters. Sodium azide as well as oxygen completely inhibited microbial manganese reduction by thes...
متن کاملShort Communication Iron reduction by psychrotrophic enrichment cultures
Psychrotrophic (6 203C) enrichment cultures from deep Pacific marine sediments and Alaskan tundra permafrost reduced ferric iron when using organic acids or H2 as electron donors. The representative culture W3-7 from the Pacific sediments grew fastest at 103C, which was 5-fold faster than at 253C and more than 40-fold faster than at 43C. Fe(III) reduction was also the fastest at 103C, which was...
متن کاملArsenic Enrichment in Estuarine Sediments – Impact of Iron and Manganese Mining
River Mandovi and Zuari (west coast of India) are flowing through iron and manganese mining areas and are heavily used for iron and manganese ore transport. This region generates 25-30 million tons of mining rejects per year. The iron ore of Mandovi-Zuari catchments area has approximately 50.04 μg/g of arsenic and partial dissolution of the mining rejects could enrich the dissolved arsenic in e...
متن کاملMethylation of trimethyltin compounds by estuarine sediments.
Both biologically active and autoclaved sediments convert trimethyltin hydroxide to the volatile tetramethyltin. Larger amounts of tetramethyltin were formed in the bioactive sediments than in the sterile sediments. No volatile tin compounds were detected in the absence of trimethyltin hydroxide or from trimethyltin hydroxide in seawater or in seawater containing bentonite. The formation of tet...
متن کاملpH-Mediated Microbial and Metabolic Interactions in Fecal Enrichment Cultures
pH and fermentable substrates impose selective pressures on gut microbial communities and their metabolisms. We evaluated the relative contributions of pH, alkalinity, and substrate on microbial community structure, metabolism, and functional interactions using triplicate batch cultures started from fecal slurry and incubated with an initial pH of 6.0, 6.5, or 6.9 and 10 mM glucose, fructose, o...
