Microbial Metal Tolerance in Bermuda Carbonate Sediments |
|
| Authors: | Mark E. Hines and Galen E. Jones |
| Abstract: | The recovery of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from Bermuda carbonate sediments on metal-supplemented media varied as much as 44-fold over a 15-cm depth. Distributional relationships with sulfate-reducing bacteria and sediment character indicated that metal tolerance was a function of metal bioavailability. |
