为了研究脱氮硫杆菌(Thiobacillus denitrificans,TDN)对硫酸盐还原菌(sulfate-reducing bacteria,SRB)生长的影响,将从污水中分离到的硫酸盐还原菌和从pH为2~3的酸性土壤中分离到的脱氮硫杆菌(TDN)用于含适当浓度硫酸盐和硝酸盐的模拟污水的处理,并测定单菌或混菌培养后系统中硫酸盐、硝酸盐浓度的变化以及硫化氢的产量。结果表明,在仅接种硫酸盐还原菌的培养系统中,硫酸盐和硝酸盐的含量分别降低4.8%和1.0%;而在同时接种脱氮硫杆菌和硫酸盐还原菌的系统中硫酸盐的含量升高了4.7%,但硝酸盐氮含量降低了25%,这一作用随着培养基中硝酸盐起始浓度的提高而得到加强。另外,混菌培养系统的硫化氢浓度比单一硫酸盐还原菌培养系统降低了65.93%。由此推断,在混菌培养系统中,脱氮硫杆菌通过其反硝化过程产生的代谢产物使硫酸盐还原菌的生长环境条件发生改变,从而抑制其生长并减少了硫化氢的产生。这对预防硫酸盐还原菌带来的不利影响提供了有效的措施。

Activity and diversity of sulfate-reducing bacteria in a petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer

Microbial sulfate reduction is an important metabolic activity in petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated aquifers. We quantified carbon source-enhanced microbial SO(4)(2-) reduction in a PHC-contaminated aquifer by using single-well push-pull tests and related the consumption of sulfate and added carbon sources to the presence of certain genera of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). We also used molecular methods to assess suspended SRB diversity. In four consecutive tests, we injected anoxic test solutions (1,000 liters) containing bromide as a conservative tracer, sulfate, and either propionate, butyrate, lactate, or acetate as reactants into an existing monitoring well. After an initial incubation period, 1,000 liters of test solution-groundwater mixture was extracted from the same well. Average total test duration was 71 h. We measured concentrations of bromide, sulfate, and carbon sources in native groundwater as well as in injection and extraction phase samples and characterized the SRB population by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Enhanced sulfate reduction concomitant with carbon source degradation was observed in all tests. Computed first-order rate coefficients ranged from 0.19 to 0.32 day(-1) for sulfate reduction and from 0.13 to 0.60 day(-1) for carbon source degradation. Sulfur isotope fractionation in unconsumed sulfate indicated that sulfate reduction was microbially mediated. Enhancement of sulfate reduction due to carbon source additions in all tests and variability of rate coefficients suggested the presence of specific SRB genera and a high diversity of SRB. We confirmed this by using FISH and DGGE. A large fraction of suspended bacteria hybridized with SRB-targeting probes SRB385 plus SRB385-Db (11 to 24% of total cells). FISH results showed that the activity of these bacteria was enhanced by addition of sulfate and carbon sources during push-pull tests. However, DGGE profiles indicated that the bacterial community structure of the dominant species did not change during the tests. Thus, the combination of push-pull tests with molecular methods provided valuable insights into microbial processes, activities, and diversity in the sulfate-reducing zone of a PHC-contaminated aquifer.     

Biodiversity analysis by polyphasic study of marine bacteria associated with biocorrosion phenomena

Aims: A polyphasic approach was used to study the biodiversity bacteria associated with biocorrosion processes, in particular sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) and thiosulfate‐reducing bacteria (TRB) which are described to be particularly aggressive towards metallic materials, notably via hydrogen sulfide release. Methods and Results: To study this particular flora, an infrared spectra library of 22 SRB and TRB collection strains were created using a Common Minimum Medium (CMM) developed during this study and standardized culture conditions. The CMM proved its ability to allow for growth of both SRB and TRB strains. These sulfurogen collection strains were clearly discriminated and differentiated at the genus level by fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy. In a second step, infrared spectra of isolates, recovered from biofilms formed on carbon steel coupons immersed for 1 year in three different French harbour areas, were compared to the infrared reference spectra library. In parallel, molecular methods (M13‐PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing) were used to qualitatively evaluate the intra‐ and inter‐species genetic diversity of biofilm isolates. The biodiversity study indicated that strains belonging to the Vibrio genus were the dominant population; strains belonging to the Desulfovibrio genus (SRB) and Peptostreptococcaceae were also identified. Conclusion: Overall, the combination of the FT‐IR spectroscopy and molecular approaches allowed for the taxonomic and ecological study of a bacterial flora, cultivated on CMM, associated with microbiology‐induced corrosion (MIC) processes. Significance and Impact of the Study: Via the use of the CMM medium, the culture of marine bacteria (including both SRB and TRB bacteria) was allowed, and the implication of nonsulforogen bacteria in MIC was observed. Their involvement in the biocorrosion phenomena will have to be studied and taken into account in the future.

Activity and Diversity of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in a Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Aquifer

Microbial sulfate reduction is an important metabolic activity in petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated aquifers. We quantified carbon source-enhanced microbial SO₄²⁻ reduction in a PHC-contaminated aquifer by using single-well push-pull tests and related the consumption of sulfate and added carbon sources to the presence of certain genera of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). We also used molecular methods to assess suspended SRB diversity. In four consecutive tests, we injected anoxic test solutions (1,000 liters) containing bromide as a conservative tracer, sulfate, and either propionate, butyrate, lactate, or acetate as reactants into an existing monitoring well.

We measured concentrations of bromide, sulfate, and carbon sources in native groundwater as well as in injection and extraction phase samples and characterized the SRB population by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Enhanced sulfate reduction concomitant with carbon source degradation was observed in all tests. Computed first-order rate coefficients ranged from 0.19 to 0.32 day⁻¹ for sulfate reduction and from 0.13 to 0.60 day⁻¹ for carbon source degradation. Sulfur isotope fractionation in unconsumed sulfate indicated that sulfate reduction was microbially mediated. Enhancement of sulfate reduction due to carbon source additions in all tests and variability of rate coefficients suggested the presence of specific SRB genera and a high diversity of SRB. We confirmed this by using FISH and DGGE. A large fraction of suspended bacteria hybridized with SRB-targeting probes SRB385 plus SRB385-Db (11 to 24% of total cells).

Culture dependent methods for enumeration of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the Oil and Gas industry

The group of anaerobic microorganisms collectively referred to as Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) is a major concern in the Oil and Gas industry primarily because of this group’s ability to generate substantial amounts of hydrogen sulfide and insoluble ferrous sulfide in the presence of iron. Traditionally, the Oil industry has relied on two recommended standard practices i.e. API RP-38 and NACE TM0194 for the detection and enumeration of culturable sulphate reducing bacteria for routine field monitoring. API RP-38 has now been withdrawn without any replacement. Data generated by nonstandard molecular microbiological methods which are still in the developmental stage cannot be compared with the accepted control levels for SRBs in oil field systems, monitored over the years with viable culture methods. Culture based methodologies are still important tools for the study of SRB, as they help in understanding the physiological characteristics which may be similar or different across phylogenetically similar bacteria. This review article therefore tries to highlight the continued importance of culture dependent methods for detection and enumeration of SRB in Oil field systems and the need for further development of an universal standard culture based method for studying SRB in the Oil and Gas industry.     

重度肥胖症患者膳食干预前后肠道内硫酸盐还原菌的定量检测

目的检测重度肥胖症患者膳食干预过程中,肠道内硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）的数量变化,为进一步研究SRB与肥胖的关系提供参考。方法以SRB基因组中的重要功能基因一腺苷酰硫酸（APS）还原酶基因作为指示基因,通过实时定量PCR的方法检测了12名重度肥胖症患者在进行膳食干预过程中随着体重的降低,肠道内SRB的数量变化,同时以16SrRNA基因对肠道内总菌进行定量来计算SRB占总菌的相对比例。结果膳食干预过程中,随着患者体重的显著降低,其肠道内SRB占总菌的比例也显著下降。在维持期,患者体重仍和干预前有显著差异,但较干预期有所回升;其体内SRB含量也显著低于干预前,但相比干预期,有所上升。结论研究结果提示肠道菌群中SRB细菌与肥胖的发展有密切关系,为后续研究SRB细菌的功能和作用机理奠定了基础。     

Molecular ecology of a facultative swine waste lagoon

Aims:  To investigate the microbial ecology of three facultative swine waste lagoons.
Methods and Results:  Phylogenetic analysis of sequences in a 16S rRNA gene clone library and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses were used to assess bacterial diversity in a swine waste lagoon. FISH analysis and Gram-staining were used to compare the microbial communities of all three swine waste lagoons. Six operational taxonomic units were in high relative abundance and corresponded to the following phylotypes; Thiolamprovum , Verrucomicrobia , Acholeplasma , Turicibacter , Clostridium and Bacteroides . PCR was employed to detect the genes apsA and dsrAB which encode for enzymes specifically associated with dissimilatory sulfate-reduction within sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Amplification of these genes confirmed their presence within the lagoons.
Conclusions:  All lagoons were dominated by purple sulfur bacteria, affiliated to Thiolamprovum pedioforme . The molecular identification of fermentative bacteria and SRB indicate the following metabolic processes within such facultative ponds: sulfur-cycling, fermentation, inter-species hydrogen transfer and carbon cycling.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study provides the first molecular evidence for the existence of a sulfur cycle which is linked to phototrophic sulfide oxidation by purple bacteria and organotrophic sulfate-reduction by SRB.
