Aos meus pais Itamar e Maria, meu irmão Marcelo e a Marina ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all I would like to thanks the Brazilian Government agency for the development of science and technology (CNPq) which sponsored the four years of my Ph.D. in Wageningen. My tenure in the Sub-department of Environmental Technology positively changed my life. I do hope that I will make a visible contribution to my country, Brazil, and possibly to the world beyond its boundaries. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Piet Lens for introducing me to the stinking and very interesting field of sulfate reduction. His creativity, optimism, enthusiasm and peculiar sense of humor were always inspiring. I would also like to thank to my promotor Gatze Lettinga for his goodwill and absolute commitment to ensure that I started and completed the Ph.D. program in due time. I extend my appreciation also to Dora Lettinga for her sincere hospitality. This Ph.D. period in the Netherlands would not start without the introduction to the sanitation field provided by my former research colleagues and professors in Brazil: Carlos Blundi (in memoriam), Eugênio Foresti, Marcelo Zaiat, Mario Kato, Bernardo Teixeira, Nemésio Salvador and Viviana Baldochi. For all my colleagues in Brazil I send my honest wishes of esteem and consideration. Many thanks to Paula Paulo for introducing me to the laboratories and analytical apparatus of our department. Her willingness to help and to have a delightful conversation will never be forgotten. Great part of this work would not be accomplished without the help of diligent students. I would like to show my appreciation to them for their excellent contribution: Rafa Herran, Eva Camarero, Juliana de Morais, Wenrui Xu, Yang Shuo and Alexia Gordillo. I am also grateful to the members of our dedicated technical team at the department: Geert Meijer, Ilse Gerrits, Sjoerd Hobma, Hillion Wegh and Vinnie de Wilde. The contribution of the research colleagues Bernd van Houten and Caroline Plugge from the Department of Microbiology is also highly appreciated. I would like also to extend my compliments to our industrious secretaries: Liesbeth Kesaulÿa, Anita van de Weerd and Heleen Vos. Their unreserved enthusiasm and readiness for handling the complex Dutch bureaucracy is greatly acknowledged. In order to come through this thesis, I had the pleasure to interact with many research colleagues and collaborators. Some of them have long left for greener pastures. Some of these research colleagues always came to my rescue whenever I was confronted with research pitfalls such as reactor set-up and analytical procedures. Others were always keen to invite me for unforgettable evenings savoring the excellent Belgian (ok, also Dutch) beers. It has been very pleasant to work in the delightful atmosphere with Jan Sipma, Marcel Zandvoort (thanks for the translation of Chapter 10 !), Bego Osuna, Giovanni Esposito, Francisco Cervantes (and Liz Levario), Agnieszka Popenda, Sonia Lopes, Johan Vermeulen, Joost van Buuren, Iemke Bisschops, Bas Buys, Jules van Lier, Jarno Gieteling, Sonja Parshina, Adrie Veeken, Look Hulshoff Pol, Lucas Seghezzo, Sjon Kortekaas, Robin van Leerdam, Peter van der Maas, Velu Muniandi, Nidal Mahmoud, Martijn Smit, Adriaan Mels, Jan Weijma, Loan Nguyen, Gabor Szanto, Maha Halasheh and Jaap Vogelaar.

Marcus VG Vallero Wageningen, the Netherlands. November, 2003. ABSTRACT Vallero, M.V.G. (2003). Sulfate reducing processes at extreme salinity and temperature: extending its application window. Doctoral Thesis, Wageningen University, Wageningen, the Netherlands, pp.214. The characteristics of various sulfate-rich wastewaters, such as temperature, pH and salinity, are determined by the (industrial) process from which they originate, and can be far from the physiological optima of the sulfur cycle microorganisms. The main goal of the research described in this thesis was to investigate and develop high rate sulfate reducing wastewater treatment processes for the treatment of inorganic sulfate-rich wastewaters under extreme conditions, i.e. high temperature and high salinity. In this thesis, several simple organic bulk chemicals were tested as electron donor, viz. lower alcohols (methanol and ethanol) and volatile fatty acids (formate, acetate and propionate). With respect to the start-up of upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors at high salinity or high temperature, the results obtained in this investigation indicate that the appearance of a targeted metabolic property (sulfate reduction at high salinity or at high temperature) is independent of the strategy for biomass acclimation (direct exposure vs. stepwise exposure). The stepwise adaptation of thermophilic sulfidogenic methanol degrading biomass to a high osmolarity environment, both at 55°C or at 70°C, likely does not occur in UASB reactors, as probably no methanol halotolerant thermophilic sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) were present in the thermophilic inoculum sludge used in the investigations described in this thesis. Exposing the sludge directly to a very high salinity (50 g NaCl.L-1) stimulated the growth of a mesophilic (30°C) propionate- and ethanol-utilizing 2- -1 -1 halotolerant SRB population, which supported high rate sulfate reduction (up to 3.6 g SO4 .L .day ) in a UASB reactor. The start-up of thermophilic (55 to 65°C) and extreme thermophilic (70°C or higher) anaerobic bioreactors inoculated with mesophilic sludges at the targeted temperature proceeded fast and stable, as it provoked the rapid selection of (extreme) thermophiles. Therefore, the key for the successful treatment of high salinity or hot wastewaters is to invest enough time for the growth of the targeted microorganism in the biomass. The results of this investigation show that the competition between SRB, methane producing archaea and acetogenic bacteria for substrate is highly dependent of the type of substrate and operational conditions imposed to the bioreactor. This thesis describes a situation where the production of acetate and methane was completely suppressed in methanol-fed sulfate reducing UASB reactors operated at 70°C. As a result, for the first time a fully sulfate reducing granular sludge has been cultivated in a methanol-fed thermophilic sulfate reducing reactor 2- -1 -1 (with sulfate reduction rates as high as 14.4 g SO4 .L .day ), provided that an operational temperature of 70°C is kept. The production of methane can be easily suppressed in thermophilic methanol fed reactors, either by running the reactor at temperatures equal or higher than 65°C or by exposing 55°C operated reactors to a short (2 days) temperature (65 – 70°C) shock. Methanogenesis can also be easily suppressed in mesophilic propionate- and ethanol-fed reactors, provided high salinity conditions prevail (e.g. above 50 mS.cm-1). It seems, however, that the production of acetate, with

In addition, the sequence of the dsrAB gene homologs of the sulfite reducer Desulfitobacterium dehalogenans was determined. In contrast to previous reports, comparative analysis of all available DsrAB sequences produced a tree topology partially inconsistent with the corresponding 16S rRNA phylogeny. For example, the DsrAB sequences of -several Desulfotomaculum species (low G؉C gram-positive division) and two members of the genus Thermode sulfobacterium (a separate bacterial division) were monophyletic with ␦-proteobacterial DsrAB sequences.

  • (Pelobacter) and Methanococcoides Are Responsible for Choline-Dependent Methanogenesis in a Coastal Saltmarsh Sediment
    The ISME Journal https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-018-0269-8 ARTICLE Deltaproteobacteria (Pelobacter) and Methanococcoides are responsible for choline-dependent methanogenesis in a coastal saltmarsh sediment 1 1 1 2 3 1 Eleanor Jameson ● Jason Stephenson ● Helen Jones ● Andrew Millard ● Anne-Kristin Kaster ● Kevin J. Purdy ● 4 5 1 Ruth Airs ● J. Colin Murrell ● Yin Chen Received: 22 January 2018 / Revised: 11 June 2018 / Accepted: 26 July 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access Abstract Coastal saltmarsh sediments represent an important source of natural methane emissions, much of which originates from quaternary and methylated amines, such as choline and trimethylamine. In this study, we combine DNA stable isotope 13 probing with high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes and C2-choline enriched metagenomes, followed by metagenome data assembly, to identify the key microbes responsible for methanogenesis from choline. Microcosm 13 incubation with C2-choline leads to the formation of trimethylamine and subsequent methane production, suggesting that 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: choline-dependent methanogenesis is a two-step process involving trimethylamine as the key intermediate. Amplicon sequencing analysis identifies Deltaproteobacteria of the genera Pelobacter as the major choline utilizers. Methanogenic Archaea of the genera Methanococcoides become enriched in choline-amended microcosms, indicating their role in methane formation from trimethylamine. The binning of metagenomic DNA results in the identification of bins classified as Pelobacter and Methanococcoides. Analyses of these bins reveal that Pelobacter have the genetic potential to degrade choline to trimethylamine using the choline-trimethylamine lyase pathway, whereas Methanococcoides are capable of methanogenesis using the pyrrolysine-containing trimethylamine methyltransferase pathway.

Peaks of zero valence sulfur, Mn(IV), and Fe(III) were observed in the chemocline separating oxic surface waters from sulfidic and anoxic bottom waters. The vertical fluxes of electron acceptors and donors (principally O2 and H2S) balanced within 5%; however, the zones of oxygen reduction and sulfide oxidation were clearly separated. The pathway of electron transfer between O2 and H2S was not apparent from the distribution of sulfur, nitrogen, or metal compounds investigated. The chemical zonation was related to bacterial populations as detected by ethidium bromide (EtBr) staining and by in situ hybridization with fluorescent oligonucleotide probes of increasing specificity. About half of all EtBr-stained cells were detectable with a general oligonucleotide probe for all eubacteria when digital image analysis algorithms were used to improve sensitivity. Both EtBr staining and hybridization indicated a surprisingly uniform distribution of bacteria throughout the water column. However, the average cell size and staining intensity as well as the abundance of different morphotypes changed markedly within the chemocline.

However, quantitative models describing kinetic sulfur isotope fractionations during DSR consider the indi- vidual enzymatic reactions as reversible (Rees, 1973). Brunner and Bernasconi (2005) extended this line of thought, and suggested that as long as cell external sulfide (CES) concentrations are high enough, CES may diffuse back across the cyto- plasmic cell membrane and may subsequently be re-oxidized to sulfate. Here, we test this hypothesis by measuring the time evolution of the d34S-sulfate signal during DSR in closed system experiments under different levels of sulfide stress (0–20 mM and 0–40 mM total dissolved sulfide). Our results show that the measured d34S-sulfate signal is markedly different in the latter case and that the observed sulfate S-isotope time-evolution is incompatible with a Rayleigh type fractionation model.

Abstract: This paper is devoted to microscopic methods for the identification of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). In this context, it describes various habitats, morphology and techniques used for the detection and identification of this very heterogeneous group of anaerobic microorganisms. SRB are present in almost every habitat on Earth, including freshwater and marine water, soils, sediments or animals. In the oil, water and gas industries, they can cause considerable economic losses due to their hydrogen sulfide production; in periodontal lesions and the colon of humans, they can cause health complications. Although the role of these bacteria in inflammatory bowel diseases is not entirely known yet, their presence is increased in patients and produced hydrogen sulfide has a cytotoxic effect. For these reasons, methods for the detection of these microorganisms were described. Apart from selected molecular techniques, including metagenomics, fluorescence microscopy was one of the applied methods. Especially fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in various modifications Citation: Kushkevych, I.; Hýžová, B.; was described.
