Halorespiring microorganisms have been detected in soils that were not polluted with chlorinated compounds. In this study, we describe alternative electron acceptor utilization by some halorespiring bacteria and phylogenetically related bacteria. It appears that oxidized metals like selenate, arsenate and manganese are rather common electron acceptors for halorespiring species of Desulfitobacterium and Sulfurospirillum and related bacteria. All tested microorganisms are able to reduce anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) and four tested organisms (Desulfitobacterium hafniense DP7, Sulfurospirillum barnesii, Sulfurospirillum deleyianum and Sulfurospirillum arsenophilum) are able to oxidize reduced anthrahydroquinone-2,6,-disulfonate (AH2QDS) as well. The characteristic to reduce oxidized metals, and to reduce and oxidize quinone moieties coupled to energy conservation is a likely explanation for the presence of halorespiring microorganisms in unpolluted soils.
在未受氯化物污染的土壤中发现了卤代微生物。在这项研究中,我们描述了一些卤代细菌和系统发育相关细菌对电子受体的替代利用。硒酸盐、砷酸盐和锰等氧化金属似乎是脱硫杆菌和硫螺旋体等卤代细菌及相关细菌的常见电子受体。所有受测微生物都能还原蒽醌-2,6-二磺酸盐(AQDS),四种受测微生物(Desulfitobacterium hafniense DP7、Sulfurospirillum barnesii、Sulfurospirillum deleyianum 和 Sulfurospirillum arsenophilum)还能氧化还原蒽醌-2,6,-二磺酸盐(AH2QDS)。还原氧化金属、还原和氧化醌类物质以及能量守恒的特性很可能是未受污染的土壤中存在卤代微生物的原因。
