    Notes: Abstract Cultures of Chromatium vinosum, devoid of sulfur globules, were supplemented with sulfide and incubated under anoxic conditions in the light. The concentrations of sulfide, polysulfides, thiosulfate, polythionates and elemental sulfur (sulfur rings) were monitored for 3 days by ion-chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC. While sulfide disappeared rapidly, thiosulfate and elemental sulfur (S6, S7 S8 rings) were formed. After sulfide depletion, the concentration of thiosulfate decreased fairly rapidly, but elemental sulfur was oxidized very slowly to sulfate. Neither polysulfides (S x 2− ), polythionates (SnO 6 2− , n=4–6), nor other polysulfur compounds could be detected, which is in accordance with the fact that sulfide-grown cells were able to oxidize polysulfide without lag. The nature of the intracellular sulfur globules is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract: The purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina was examined for photo-autotrophic growth on dimethyl sulfide (DMS). The maximum specific growth rate μmax (0.068 h−1), saturation constant Ks (38 μm l−1), and yield (5.24 mg protein mmol−1 DMS) were determined in chemostat experiments. Dimethyl sulfoxide was the only product of DMS oxidation. Batch experiments revealed the simultaneous oxidation of DMS and hydrogen sulfide.

    Notes: Abstract The sulfur cycle in a microbial mat was studied by determining viable counts of sulfate-reducing bacteria, chemolithoautotrophic sulfur bacteria and anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria. All three functional groups of sulfur bacteria revealed a maximum population density in the uppermost 5 mm of the mat: 1.1 × 108 cells of sulfate reducers cm−3 sediment, 2.0 × 109 cells of chemolithoautotrophs cm−3 sediment, and 4.0 × 107 cells of anoxygenic phototrophs cm−3 sediment. Bacterial dynamics were studied by sulfate reduction rate measurements, both under anoxic conditions (dark incubation) and oxic conditions (incubation in the light), and determination of the vertical distribution of the potential rate of thiosulfate consumption under oxic conditions. Sulfate reduction rates in the top 5 mm of the sediment were 566 nmol cm−3 d−1 in the absence of oxygen, and 123 nmol cm−3 d−1 in the presence of oxygen. In the latter case, the maximum rate was found in the 5–10-mm depth horizon (361 nmol cm−3 d−1). Biological consumption of amended thiosulfate was rapid and decreased with depth, while in the presence of molybdate, thiosulfate consumption decreased to 10–30% of the original rate.

    Water Quality and Microbial Dynamics in Shrimp Ponds Receiving Bagasse-Based Feed (1991)

    Notes: Pond water quality and associated microbial biomass were studied in relation to the type of feed applied during the culture of the marine shrimp Penaeus vannamei. The feeds tested included conventional feedlot manure as well as two feeds based on bagasse, a sugarcane waste product. Physical and chemical parameters were studied during a 100 day trial in 200 m2 earthen ponds. Both bagasse-based feeds supported a significantly larger microbial community as measured by specific biomass numbers (P 〈 0.01), ATP content (P 〈 0.001) and amount of the particulate organic matter present on pond bottoms (P 〈 0.025). For both bagasse-based treatments, the estimated bacterial cell number in the flocculent layer was 3.11 ± 1012/m2, compared to the much lower cell number of 7.53 ± 1010/m2 for control ponds. Harvest data suggest that bagasse forms a potential base for feeds when applied to extensive shrimp cultures.

    Microbial consumption of dimethyl sulfide and methanethiol in coastal marine sediments (1995)

    Notes: Abstract: Samples were taken from oxic and anoxic zones of three ecosystems: a cyanobacterial mat, a diatom film and a carbonate sediment. Dimethylsulfide (DMS) concentrations were determined by headspace analysis of sediment slurries; maximal amounts were in the upper 5–10 mm of the sediments of 20 μM (cyanobacterial mat), 8 μM (diatom film) and 〈 1 μM in the carbonate sediment. Dissolved DMS in the cyanobacterial mat, determined by centrifugation and cryogenic trapping, was about two orders of magnitude lower than from slurry estimations but its variation with depth was similar. CH3SH concentrations in slurried samples, determined after treatment with tributylphosphine, ranged from 2 to 7 μM in the diatom mat and was below the limit of detection (〈 0.1 μM) in the carbonate sediment. MPN counts of bacteria that grew on DMS under oxic and anoxic (nitrate added) conditions were determined at all three sites. Aerobic DMS utilizers peaked in the surface and decreased with depth, while the population of anaerobic DMS utilizers was relatively constant in the top 20 mm. Populations of DMS utilizers were highest in the cyanobacterial mat and lowest in the carbonate sediment. MPN's of thiosulfate utilizers, aerobic and anaerobic (nitrate added) were determined in the cyanobacterial mat. Populations of aerobic and anaerobic S2O32− utilizers were similar throughout the top 20 mm and comparable to those of DMS utilizers in the top 5 mm, but higher by about 100-fold below that zone. DMS and CH3SH consumption rates were measured in slurries of sediments and aerobic rates were similar or only slightly higher than anaerobic rates; the latter were stimulated by nitrate.

    Metabolism of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and glycine betaine by a marine bacterium (1992)

    Notes: Abstract The metabolism of the methylated osmolytes glycine betaine (GB) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was studied in a bacterium (strain MD 14–50) isolated from a colony of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. MD 14–50 when grown on DMSP cleaved dimethylsulfide (DMS) from DMSP and oxidized acrylate. In contrast to DMSP, GB was metabolized by sequential N-demethylations. Low concentrations (100 μM) of DMSP or GB allowed the growth of MD 14–50 on glucose at higher salinities than in their absence. At elevated salinities, DMSP was accumulated intracellularly with less catabolism and DMS production. Thus, DMSP and GB were catabolized by different mechanisms but functioned interchangeably as osmolytes.

    Notes: Abstract The populations of chemolithoautotrophic (colorless) sulfur bacteria and anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria were enumerated in a marine microbial mat. The highest population densities were found in the 0–5 mm layer of the mat: 2.0 × 109 cells cm−3 sediment, and 4.0 × 107 cells cm−3 sediment for the colorless sulfur bacteria and phototrophs, respectively. Kinetic parameters for thiosulfate-limited growth were assessed for Thiobacillus thioparus T5 and Thiocapsa roseopersicina M1, both isolated from microbial mats. For Thiobacillus T5, growing at a constant oxygen concentration of 43 μmol l−1, μmax was 0.336 h−1 and Ks 0.8 μmol l−1. Phototrophically grown Thiocapsa strain M1 displayed a μmax of 0.080 h−1 and a Ks of 8 μmol l−1 when anoxically grown under thiosulfate limitation. In a competition experiment with thiosulfate as electron donor, Thiocapsa became dominant during a 10-h oxic/14-h anoxic regimen at continuous illumination, despite the higher affinity for thiosulfate of Thiobacillus.

    Demethylation and cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate in marine intertidal sediments (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Demethylation and cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was measured in three different types of intertidal marine sediments: a cyanobacterial mat, a diatom-covered tidal flat and a carbonate sediment. Consumption rates of added DMSP were highest in cyanobacterial mat slurries (59 μmol DMSP 1−1) and lower in slurries from a diatom mat and a carbonate tidal sediment (24 and 9 μmol DMSP 1−1 h−1, respectively). Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and 3-mercaptopropionate (MPA) were produced simultaneously during DMSP consumption, indicating that cleavage and demethylation occurred at the same time. Viable counts of DMSP-utilizing bacteria revealed a population of 2 × 107 cells cm−3 sediment (90% of these cleaved DMSP to DMS, 10% demethylated DMSP to MPA) in the cyanobacterial mat, 7 × 105 cells cm−3 in the diatom mat (23% cleavers, 77% demethylators), and 9 × 104 cells cm−3 (20% cleavers and 80% demethylators) in the carbonate sediment. In slurries of the diatom mat, the rate of MPA production from added 3-methiolpropionate (MMPA) was 50% of the rate of MPA formation from DMSP. The presence of a large population of demethylating bacteria and the production of MPA from DMSP suggest that the demethylation pathway, in addition to cleavage, contributes significantly to DMSP consumption in coastal sediments.
