Abstract: | Nitrate-reducing bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens andAlcaligenes sp.) as well as extracellular compounds from these bacteria increased the dissolution rate of iron and phosphorus sorbed to iron precipitates during anaerobic, nitrate-free conditions in experimental sediment-water systems. It is suggested that the influence of the bacteria is due to enzymatic catalyzation of chemical iron reduction. |
