Title: Co(III)EDTA- Reduction by Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Propagation of Reactions Involving Dissolved Sulfide and Polysulfides.

Journal Article · · Environmental Science and Technology
OSTI ID:790198

The migration of 60Co is driven by Co(III)EDTA- complexes. Here we document the bacterial mediated reduction of Co(III) to Co(II)EDTA2- complexes, which are far less mobile within the environment. Additionally, we demonstrate that sulfate promotes reduction via production of reactive polysulfides rather than acting as a competitive electron acceptor.
