Microbial Metal Tolerance in Bermuda Carbonate Sediments †

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The recovery of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from Bermuda carbonate sediments on metal-supplemented media varied as much as 44-fold over a 15-cm depth. Distributional relationships with sulfate-reducing bacteria and sediment character indicated that metal tolerance was a function of metal bioavailability.
