Zusammenfassung: | This article aims to study hydrogen production/consumption in
Desulfovibrio (
D.)
desulfuricans strain New Jersey, a sulfate reducer isolated from a medium undergoing active biocorrosion and to compare its hydrogen metabolism with two other
Desulfovibrio species,
D. gigas and
D. vulgaris Hildenborough. Hydrogen production was followed during the growth of these three bacterial species under different growth conditions: no limitation of sulfate and lactate, sulfate limitation, lactate limitation, pyruvate/sulfate medium and in the presence of molybdate.
Hydrogen production/consumption by
D. desulfuricans shows a behavior similar to that of
D. gigas but a different one from that of
D. vulgaris, which produces higher quantities of hydrogen on lactate/sulfate medium. The three species are able to increase the hydrogen production when the sulfate became limiting. Moreover, in a pyruvate/sulfate medium hydrogen production was lower than on lactate/sulfate medium. Hydrogen production by
D. desulfuricans in presence of molybdate is extremely high.
Hydrogenases are key enzymes on production/consumption of hydrogen in sulfate reducing organisms. The specific activity, number and cellular localization of hydrogenases vary within the three
Desulfovibrio species used in this work, which could explain the differences observed on hydrogen utilization. |
