Oxidation of iodide to iodate by cultures of marine ammonia-oxidising bacteria

چکیده
Reaction with iodide (I−) at the sea surface is an important sink for atmospheric ozone, and causes sea-air emission of reactive iodine which in turn drives further ozone destruction. To incorporate this process into chemical transport models, improved understanding factors controlling marine speciation, especially sea-surface concentrations, needed. The oxidation I− to iodate (IO3−) main oceanic I−, but mechanism remains unknown. We demonstrate first time that nitrifying bacteria mediate IO3−. A significant increase IO3− concentrations compared media-only controls was observed cultures ammonia-oxidising Nitrosomonas sp. (Nm51) Nitrosoccocus oceani (Nc10) supplied 9–10 mM indicating Cell-normalised production rates were 15.69 (±4.71) fmol cell−1 d−1 sp., 11.96 (±6.96) Nitrosococcus oceani, molar ratios iodate-to-nitrite 9.2 ± 4.1 1.88 0.91 respectively. Preliminary experiments on nitrite-oxidising showed no evidence oxidation. If link between ammonia here representative, our ocean cycling model predicts future changes nitrification could alter global fields potential implications chemistry air quality.

Quantitative analysis of ammonia oxidising bacteria using competitive PCR.
Culture-based methods for enumeration, such as most probable number (MPN) methodologies, have proved inefficient due to difficulties in the isolation and cultivation of ammonia oxidising bacteria in the laboratory. Biases are associated with the isolation of bacteria in selective media and organisms cultivated in the laboratory may not be truly representative of those in the environment. In thi...
متن کاملTransformation of iodate to iodide in marine phytoplankton driven by cell senescence
Previous studies have suggested that phytoplankton play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of iodine, due to the appearance of iodide in the euphotic zone. Changes in the speciation of iodine over the course of the growth cycle were examined in culture media for a variety of phytoplankton taxa (diatoms, dinoflagellates and prymnesiophytes). All species tested showed the apparent ab...
متن کاملDifferential response of nonadapted ammonia-oxidising archaea and bacteria to drying-rewetting stress.
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of severe drought events followed by heavy rainfall, which will influence growth and activity of soil microorganisms, through osmotic stress and changes in nutrient concentration. There is evidence of rapid recovery of processes and adaptation of communities in soils regularly experiencing drying/rewetting and lower resistance and resilience ...
متن کاملMethyl iodide production from marine phytoplankton cultures
Unialgal cultures of 15 species of marine phytoplankton were examined for the production of methyl iodide (CHJ). CH,I production was quantified during log and stationary phases of phytoplankton growth in f/2 medium and compared to CHJ levels in control vessels. Significant increases in CHJ production were seen in five cultures. Phytoplankton CHJ production varied from a low of lop4 amol CHJ cel...
متن کاملConversion of Iodate to Iodide in Viva and in Vitro*
Iodate is almost immediately reduced to iodide following its intravenous administration to rats or rabbits. Even when it is given in relatively large doses, reduction is complete within 2 to 3 min. Following oral administration also, radioiodate is so rapidly transformed to radioiodide that 2-hour thyroid 13rI uptakes in rats that received radioiodate by stomach tube were not significantly diff...
