Effects of temperature on biomass and sulfide production in Desulfovibrio hydrothermals (INSPIRE_Pyrite project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Effects of temperature on biomass and sulfide production in Desulfovibrio hydrothermalis strain AM13 across a range of biologically relevant temperatures. Measured biomass production (cell concentration in stationary phase) and maximum sulfide concentration produced and maximum sulfide production rate in the exponential phase.

Figures included with the data:

Methods & Sampling

Inoculum: 200 µl stock culture (stationary phase) into 50 ml medium (expected at t0: 8.0 E+5 cells/ml).

"The time between t0 and tend is variable. We wait to reach the stationary phase. The rate is the maximum rate (exponential phase of sulfide production)." A. Picard, personal communication.

Data Processing Description

Method for cell counting: Cell cultures were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde for cell counts. Between 100 and 1,000 microliters of fixed sample were filtered onto a 0.2 µm GTBP polycarbonate filter (Millipore), stained with DAPI (4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole; Sigma), and counted via epiflourescent microscopy, using a Zeiss Axiophot scope equipped with objectives capable of 20x, 60x and 100x magnification.

Method for sulfide concentration: Spectrophotometric quantification using standard curve after Cline, 1969.

adapted to the range of concentrations in the cultures.
