Stable carbon isotope fractionation by methylotrophic methanogenic archaea.
In natural environments methane is usually produced by aceticlastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic archaea. However, some methanogens can use C(1) compounds such as methanol as the substrate. To determine the contributions of individual substrates to methane production, the stable-isotope values of the substrates and the released methane are often used. Additional information can be obtained...
متن کاملStable Carbon Isotope Fractionation by Methanogens
Introduction: Methanogenic archaea, which consume CO2 and H2, have been considered models for possible life forms on Mars for a long time, even before the discovery of methane in the Martian atmosphere (1-8). Several intensive experimental studies have been conducted to investigate survivability of methanogens under conditions that approach those found on Mars (2, 3, 9). Various potential sourc...
متن کاملStable carbon isotope fractionation of chloroethenes by dehalorespiring isolates.
Stable carbon isotope fractionation during the reductive dechlorination of chloroethenes by two bacterial strains that dechlorinate to ethene, Dehalococcoides ethenogenes 195 and Dehalococcoides sp. strain BAV1 as well as Sulfurospirillum multivorans and Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23, isolates that do not dechlorinate past DCE, are reported. Fractionation by a Dehalococcoides-containin...
متن کاملStable carbon isotope fractionation by sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Biogeochemical transformations occurring in the anoxic zones of stratified sedimentary microbial communities can profoundly influence the isotopic and organic signatures preserved in the fossil record. Accordingly, we have determined carbon isotope discrimination that is associated with both heterotrophic and lithotrophic growth of pure cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). For heterotro...
متن کاملHydrogen and carbon isotope fractionation during degradation of chloromethane by methylotrophic bacteria
Chloromethane (CH3 Cl) is a widely studied volatile halocarbon involved in the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere. Nevertheless, its global budget still remains debated. Stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool to constrain fluxes of chloromethane between various environmental compartments which involve a multiplicity of sources and sinks, and both biotic and abiotic processes. In this ...
