  • Title: [Regulation of hydrogen sulfide level by acidophobic bacteria of Thiobacillus genus in technogenic reservoirs of sulfur mining regions].
    Author: Moroz OM.
    Journal: Mikrobiol Z; 2010; 72(6):30-6. PubMed ID: 21381314.
    Abstract:
    An increase of acidophobic thione bacteria quantity in Rozdil and Yavoriv reservoirs of sulfur mining regions during 2005-2009 years, which correlates with a decrease of hydrogen sulfide content in water surface layers, was shown. The ability of acidophobic bacteria of Thiobacillus genus, isolated from "Yavorivske" lake, to oxidize effectively hydrogen sulfide added into Beijerinck medium instead of thiosulfate, was discovered. It was established, that hydrogen sulfide oxidizing efficiency by Thiobacillus sp. Yav-8, Yav-11 and Yav-14 strains is the highest (78.48-84.56%) when its content in cultivation medium was increased twice: to 2584 mg/l. An increase of sulfur quantity in sodium sulfide form from to six times as compared with its standard content in sodium thiosulfate form in the Beijerinck medium does not lead to the increase of hydrogen sulfide oxidizing efficiency by cells.
