Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to develop and test a thermodynamic network model for predicting the effects of substrate additions and environmental perturbations on microbial growth, community composition and system geochemistry. The hypothesis is that a thermodynamic analysis of the energy-yielding growth reactions performed by defined groups of microorganisms can be used to make quantitative and testable predictions of the change in microbial community composition that will occur when a substrate is added to the subsurface or when environmental conditions change.

Stability of U(VI) and Tc(VII) Reducing Microbial Communities to Environmental Perturbation: Development and Testing of a Thermodynamic Network Model

Technical Report McKinley, James P. ; Istok, Jonathan

Previously published research from in situ field experiments at the NABIR Field Research Center have shown that cooperative metabolism of denitrifiers and Fe(III)/sulfate reducers is essential for creating subsurface conditions favorable for U(VI) and Tc(VII) bioreduction (Istok et al., 2004). The overall goal of this project is to develop and test a thermodynamic network model for predicting the effects of substrate additions and environmental perturbations on the composition and functional stability of subsurface microbial communities. The overall scientific hypothesis is that a thermodynamic analysis of the energy-yielding reactions performed by broadly defined groups of microorganisms can be used to makemore »« less

Stability of U(VI)- and Tc(VII) reducing microbial communities to environmental perturbation: a thermodynamic network model and intermediate-scale experiments

Technical Report McKinley, James P. ; Liu, Chongxuan ; Istok, Jack ; ...

The project is a collaborative task with a larger project headed by Jack Istok at Oregon State University, which is conducted under the same title. The project was conceptualized as follows. A ''geochemical'' model of microbial communities was hypothesized, in which microbes were characterized as mineral species according to the chemical transformations they used for metabolic function. The iron-reducing bacteria, for example, would be represented by the iron reducing chemical reaction, including a specific electron donor, the fraction of the consumed donor used for biomass maintenance or growth, and a free energy for the reaction. The pseudomineral species would thenmore »« less

Microbial response to remediation and other perturbations of subsurface environments

Conference Brockman, F.J. ; Fredrickson, J.K. ; Li, S.W. ; ...

Microbial biomass and activity in subsurface environments is determined by the concentration and flux of a variety of electron acceptors, electron donors, and other nutrients. Perturbations associated with sampling and laboratory handling, and intentional perturbations such as those induced during bioremediation, result in changes in the structure and physiological status of the microbial community. The objective of the research is to characterize these changes for the purpose of (1) ensuring that microbial measurements approximate the in-situ condition as closely as possible, and (2) documenting the progress of in-situ bioremediation. Manipulative experiments were performed in the laboratory to assess the impactmore »« less
