Summary During primary colonization of rock substrates by plants, mineral weathering is strongly accelerated under plant roots, but little known on how it affects soil ecosystem development before establishment. Here we show that mediated chemolithoautotrophic bacteria associated to community formation in sites recently released permanent glacier ice cover the Midtre Lovénbreen moraine (78°53′N), Svalbard. Increased fertility fosters growth prokaryotes and plants at boundary between intense...

Two strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans , one known to synthesize monomethylmercury from ionic mercury, were grown determine methylmercury toxicity and for comparison with an anaerobic strain Clostridium pasteurianum a H 2 producer, the broad-spectrum mercury-resistant Pseudomonas putida FB-1, capable degrading 1 μg methane elemental mercury in h. The CH 3 HgCl resistance D. was 10 times that P. FB-1 100 C. . related disappearance cultures by transformation dimethylmercury, metacinnabar,...
A Cr(VI)-resistant yeast, designated strain DBVPG 6502, was isolated from a sewage treatment plant receiving wastes tannery industries in Italy. The tentatively identified as species of Candida based on morphological and physiological analyses. This highly resistant to Cr(VI) when compared with eight other yeast species, growing at concentrations up 500 micrograms/ml (10 mM). resistance constitutive. did not reduce Cr(III) under aerobic conditions. showed very little accumulation Cr(VI)....
The adhesion of a recently described species, Acinetobacter venetianus VE-C3 (F. Di Cello, M. Pepi, F. Baldi, and R. Fani, Res. Microbiol. 148:237-249, 1997), to diesel fuel (a mixture C12 C28 n-alkanes) n-hexadecane was studied compared that sp. strain RAG-1, which is known excrete the emulsifying lipopolysaccharide, emulsan. Oxygen consumption rates, biomass, cell hydrophobicity, electrophoretic mobility, zeta potential were measured for two strains. dropping-mercury electrode (DME) used...
A bacterial strain ANT-3b was isolated at the sea-ice seawater interface from Terra Nova Bay station, Ross Sea, Antarctica. It on mineral medium supplemented with 2% diesel fuel as a sole carbon and energy source grown routinely 2%n-hexadecane. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence indicates that has 99.8% similarity Halomonas neptunia. The in n-hexadecane between 4 20 °C, but not 30 °C. maximum degradation rate n-alkane measured 15 5.6 ± 1.7 mg O2μg−1 protein d−1. produced emulsifying...
ABSTRACT An iron-poor stream of nearly neutral pH polluted by mine tailings has been investigated for a natural phenomenon responsible the polishing heavy metals in wastewaters. A white mineralized mat, which was determined to be hydrozincite [Zn 5 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 6 ] X-ray diffraction analysis, observed sediments mainly spring. The precipitate shows total organic matter residue 10% dry weight and contains high concentrations Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, other metals. Scanning electron microscopy analysis...

High concentrations of total barium, ranging from 0.42 to 1.58 mg(middot)g(sup-1) (dry weight) were found in sludges two sewage treatment plants near Florence, Italy. Barium the suspended matter decreased as redox potential values changed negative positive. An anoxic sludge sample was aerated, and 30% barium removed 24 h. To demonstrate that solubilized barite by sulfate-reducing bacteria, a strain Desulfovibrio desulfuricans used study solubilization under laboratory conditions. During cell...
The enterobacterium Klebsiella oxytoca strain BAS-10 was isolated from sediments under an iron mat formed in a stream receiving leached waters pyrite mine tailings. Under anaerobic laboratory conditions, fermented Fe(III)-citrate and Na-citrate giving CH(3)COOH CO(2). In the presence of ferric citrate, secreted quantities thick gel containing glucose and/or mannose, if not other sugars. Sugar residues were observed microbial aggregates using sugar-specific concanavalin A lectin conjugated...
