Article Synopsis
- This study examines the dynamics of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) in shallow freshwater lakes, contrasting with previous research that focused on deep lakes.
- A mesocosm experiment was conducted using water from a nutrient-rich lake to analyze how these sulfur bacteria interact during the decomposition of cyanobacterial bloom biomass (CBB) and how increased sulfate levels affect the microbial community.
- Findings revealed that SRB produce dissolved sulfide during CBB breakdown, which then supports the growth of SOB; an increase in sulfate led to a four-fold rise in a specific SOB species and a shift in bacterial populations over time.
