Abstract

The consumption of acetate in soils taken from a nutrient gradient in the northern Florida Everglades was studied by stable isotope probing. Bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene clone libraries from eutrophic and oligotrophic soil microcosms strongly suggest that a significant amount of acetate is consumed by syntrophic acetate oxidation in nutrient-enriched soil.

Methanogenesis from [12C]acetate and [13C]acetate. F1, microcosm with soil from eutrophic site; F4, microcosm with soil from eutrophic site; U3, microcosm with soil from oligotrophic site. Analyses were conducted in duplicate, and the bars indicate mean values after conversion to a gram (dry weight)-of-soil basis; the error bars indicate ±1 standard deviation. After week 4, acetate was added to in all microcosms a second time.
