New strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria were obtained from human intestine. These bacteria are vibrio-like (strains SRB Vib-1, SRB Vib-2, SRB Vib-3) and short rod-like (strains SRB Rod-4 and SRB Rod-5) forms. Growth of these strains of bacteria, usa ge of sulfates by bacteria and their production of hydrogen sulfide were studied. The strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria SRB Vib-1, SRB Vib-2, SRB Vib-3 more intensively accumulate biomass compared with strains SRB Rod-4 і SRB Rod-5. The SRB Vib-1 and SRB Vib-2 strains grow most intensively. Accumulation of bacterial biomass (3.8 g/l) is the highest on the third day of cultivation, and after that a stationary growth phase began. The SRB Vib-3 strain of bacteria accumulates 2.89 gram per liter of biomass on the third day of bacteria cultivation. Maximal biomass of SRB Rod-4 and SRB Rod-5 bacteria strains ranged from 2.59 to 3.25 gram per liter on the eighth day of cultivation. The obtained sulfate-reducing bacteria intensively use sulfate ions and produce hydrogen sulfide. The SRB Vib-1, SRB Vib-2, SRB Vib-3 strains produce from 2.99 mM to 3.12 mM of hydrogen sulfide. The rod-shaped strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria use sulfate ions and produce hydrogen sulfide less intensively in the presence of sulfates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
