Microbially Mediated Processes in Environmental Chemistry by Kurt W. Hanselmann

“…Results from investigations of this kind have direct practical and theoretical implications for todays lake restoration projects. – In order to assess microbially mediated catalysis within sediments as a driving mechanism for the cycling of elements through their many specialized metabolic pathways, we need to better understand: The microbial habitats within sediments; the kind of microbes present and their interaction with each other and their surroundings; the influence of thermodynamic constraints on microbial existence; the microbial behavior towards transient environmental conditions; and the efficiency of microbes as biological diffusion barriers or diffusion promotors at the sediment-water interface. – In this presentation I will summarize our views on a few basic questions of environmental microbiology: Where do microbes live in sediments? …”
