Our knowledge about Fe(Ⅲ) reduction predominantly comes from pure cultures of dissimilatory Fe(Ⅲ) reducing bacteria (DFRB). The objective of this study was to compare the effects of glucose and a selection of short organic acids (citrate, succinate, pyruvate, propionate, acetate, and formate) on Fe(Ⅲ) reduction via the anaerobic culture of three paddy soil solutions with Fe...展开更多

By adding iron metal or electrochemical method, Fe III (EDTA) can be reduced to Fe II (EDTA). However, there are various drawbacks associated with these techniques. The dissimilatory reduction of Fe III (EDTA) with microorganisms in the system of nitric oxide removal by metal chelate absorption was investigated. Ammonium salt instead of nitrate was used as the nitrogen source, as nitrates inhibited the reduction of Fe III due to the competition between the two electron acceptors. Supplemental glucose and lactate stimulated the formation of Fe II more than ethanol as the carbon sources. The microorganisms cultured at 50℃ were not very sensitive to the other experimental temperature, the reduction percentage of Fe III varied little with the temperature range of 30—50℃. Concentrated Na 2CO 3 solution was added to adjust the solution pH to an optimal pH range of 6—7 The overall results revealed that the dissimilatory ferric reducing microorganisms present in the mix culture are probably neutrophilic, moderately thermophilic Fe III reducers.展开更多
