Abstract
The individual influence of sulfate reducing and brown phototrophic sulfur bacteria from Lake Kinneret on the metalimnetic redox conditions was investigated by simulating the hydrochemical and microbiological conditions in a specially designed chemostat. The results show a strong correlation between measured redox values and the prevailing hydrogen sulfide concentration leading to a linear relationship. Changes in this relationship allowed differentiation between the on-going microbial processes, sulfate reduction and sulfide oxidation. The comparison ofin vitro andin situ redox values shows that the results of the simulation experiments agree with the data previously measured in the metalimnion of Lake Kinneret.
