Image analysis for quantification of bacterial rock weathering.
A fast, quantitative image analysis technique was developed to assess potential rock weathering by bacteria. The technique is based on reduction in the surface area of rock particles and counting the relative increase in the number of small particles in ground rock slurries. This was done by recording changes in ground rock samples with an electronic image analyzing process. The slurries were p...

متن کاملOrganic and inorganic compounds in limestone weathering crusts from cathedrals in southern and Western europe.
Limestone and weathering crusts have been studied at the major cathedrals of Sevilla, in southwestern Spain, and Mechelen, in northern Belgium. These cities have very different climatic and environmental conditions. The deterioration characteristics of the limestone in both localities have been compared. Detailed petrographical characterization was carried out for the different building stones,...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Rhizobium sp. H41, a Rock-Weathering Bacterium from a Weathered Rock Surface
Rhizobium sp. H41 isolated from weathered tuff can weather tuff and release Fe, Si, and Al from the rock under nutrient-poor conditions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain H41, which may facilitate a better understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in rock weathering by the bacterium.
متن کاملRock and Mineral Weathering Experiments under Model Venus Conditions
Introduction. Chemical analyses of rock and rego-lith at the Venera and Vega landing sites [1] suggest that Venus' surface consists of basaltic rocks with variable amounts of S, either as a primary constituent or as a secondary product of atmospheric interactions. Starting with these chemistries, models of Venus mineralogy predict that the surface is composed of primary basaltic minerals, unrea...
