Abundance and activity of methanotrophic bacteria in littoral and profundal sediments of lake constance (Germany).
The abundances and activities of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) were compared in depth profiles of littoral and profundal sediments of Lake Constance, Germany. Abundances were determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting the pmoA gene and by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and data were compared to methane oxidation rates calculated from high-resolution concentration pro...
متن کاملComparison of aerobic methanotrophic communities in littoral and profundal sediments of Lake Constance by a molecular approach.
Analysis of pmoA and 16S rRNA gene clone libraries of methanotrophic bacteria in Lake Constance revealed an overall dominance of type I methanotrophs in both littoral and profundal sediments. The sediments exhibited minor differences in their methanotrophic community structures. Type X methanotrophs made up a significant part of the clone libraries only in the profundal sediment and were also f...
متن کاملPreferential cultivation of type II methanotrophic bacteria from littoral sediments (Lake Constance).
Most widely used medium for cultivation of methanotrophic bacteria from various environments is that proposed in 1970 by Whittenbury. In order to adapt and optimize medium for culturing of methanotrophs from freshwater sediment, media with varying concentrations of substrates, phosphate, nitrate, and other mineral salts were used to enumerate methanotrophs by the most probable number method. Hi...
متن کاملFerrous iron oxidation by denitrifying bacteria in profundal sediments of a deep lake (Lake Constance)
Profundal sediments of Lake Constance were sampled at 60 130 m water depth and studied with respect to the population sizes and depth distribution of mixotrophic and lithotrophic iron oxidizing, denitrifying bacteria. The sediment cores showed a distinct stratification with oxygen and nitrate being consumed within the first centimeter of the sediment. The sediment contained large amounts of aci...
متن کاملActivity and diversity of methanotrophic bacteria at methane seeps in eastern Lake Constance sediments.
The activity and community structure of aerobic methanotrophic communities were investigated at methane seeps (pockmarks) in the littoral and profundal zones of an oligotrophic freshwater lake (Lake Constance, Germany). Measurements of potential methane oxidation rates showed that sediments inside littoral pockmarks are hot spots of methane oxidation. Potential methane oxidation rates at littor...
