Abstract
This paper reports a study on the distribution characteristics of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in seventeen sediment samples collected from Baihua Lake (a man-made deep plateau reservoir in Guizhou Province, China), and analyzes the correlations between the SRB content and pH value, organic matter (OM), AVS, Fe, Hg, As, Cu, Ca, Mg in the sediments. The results showed that the sediment collected from the sampling site of Yapengzhai had the highest population of SRB, and the sediment from the sampling site of Longtan SRB presented the lowest population of SRB. Moreover, there were positive correlations between SRB and OM, AVS, Fe, Hg, As, Cu, Ca, Mg whereas the negative correlations existed between the SRB content and pH value.
