Evidence for microbial Fe(III) reduction in anoxic, mining-impacted lake sediments (Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho)

Article Abstract:

Iron-reducing bacteria are present in Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, which contains iron from sulfidic ore mining in the watershed. Two new strains of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria were discovered in sediments taken from the delta.

Isolation and characterization of a novel As(V)-reducing bacterium: implications for arsenic mobilization and the genus Desulfitobacterium

Article Abstract:

Researchers have isolated a bacterium from arsenic-contaminated sediments from Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, that can reduce As(V), Fe(III), Se(VI), Mn(IV), and many oxidized sulfur compounds. It is closely related to Desulfitobacterium hafniense and D. frappieri.

Molecular characterization of a dechlorinating community resulting from in situ biostimulation in a trichloroethene-contaminated deep, fractured basalt aquifer and comparison to a derivative laboratory culture

Article Abstract:

Sodium lactate additions to a trichloroethane (TCE) residual source area resulted in the enrichment of the indigenous microbial community, the complete dechlorination of nearly all aqueous-phase CE to ethane and the continued depletion of the residual source. The bacterial and archaeal consortia in groundwater obtained from the residual source are assessed by using PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes.
