Pathways of carbon oxidation in an Arctic fjord sediment (Svalbard) and isolation of psychrophilic and psychrotolerant Fe(III)-reducing bacteria
Udgivelsesdato: Sept. 2006 The main mineralization pathways were determined in permanently cold fjord sediment on the west coast of Svalbard. In whole core incubations, the total oxygen uptake rate was 4.2 ± 0.4 mmol m –2 d –1 and the sulfate reduction rate 2.6 ± 0.6 mmol m –2 d –1 at 0 to 20 cm dep...
