Ferrous 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 کاملAnaerobic oxidation of ferrous iron by purple bacteria, a new type of phototrophic metabolism.
Anoxic iron-rich sediment samples that had been stored in the light showed development of brown, rusty patches. Subcultures in defined mineral media with ferrous iron (10 mmol/liter, mostly precipitated as FeCO3) yielded enrichments of anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria which used ferrous iron as the sole electron donor for photosynthesis. Two different types of purple bacteria, represented by st...
متن کاملUse of an intelligent control system To evaluate multiparametric effects on iron oxidation by thermophilic bacteria
A learning-based intelligent control system, the BioExpert, was developed and applied to the evaluation of multiparametric effects on iron oxidation by enrichment cultures of moderately thermophilic, acidophilic mining bacteria. The control system acquired and analyzed the data and then selected and maintained the sets of conditions that were evaluated. Through multiple iterations, the BioExper...
متن کاملDirect method for continuous determination of iron oxidation by autotrophic bacteria.
A method for direct, continuous determination of ferric ions produced in autotrophic iron oxidation, which depends upon the measurement of ferric ion absorbance at 304 nm, is described. The use of initial rates is shown to compensate for such changes in extinction during oxidation, which are due to dependence of the extinction coefficient on the ratio of complexing anions to ferric ions. A grap...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide oxidation by methanogenic bacteria.
Different species of methanogenic bacteria growing on CO(2) and H(2) were shown to remove CO added to the gas phase. Rates up to 0.2 mumol of CO depleted/min per 10 ml of culture containing approximately 7 mg of cells (wet weight) were observed. Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was selected for further study based on its ability to grow rapidly on a completely mineral medium. This species u...
