Abstract
Experiments demonstrated that Beggiatoa could induce a H2S-depleted suboxic zone of more than 10 mm in marine sediments and cause a divergence in sediment NO3(-) reduction from denitrification to dissimilatory NO3(-) reduction to ammonium. pH, O2, and H2S profiles indicated that the bacteria oxidized H2S with NO3(-) and transported S0 to the sediment surface for aerobic oxidation.Entities:
