โœฆ Synopsis


Iron-reducing bacteria enriched from a Cu-contaminated sediment were more tolerant of Cu adsorbed to hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) than were pristine-sediment bacteria. Tolerance was enhanced by increasing the Cu concentration in the culture medium over time, enabling the bacteria to begin reducing Cu-contaminated HFO sooner and at a faster rate than Cu-intolerant bacteria.

Copper tolerance confers a greater ability to reduce contaminated HFO and may result in a greater potential for Cu mobilization in sediments.
