Nitrate Is a Preferred Electron Acceptor for Growth of Freshwater Selenate-Respiring Bacteria

Steinberg, Nisan A.
RESUMO
An anaerobic, freshwater enrichment grew with either nitrate or selenate as an electron acceptor. With both ions present, nitrate reduction preceded selenate reduction. An isolate from the enrichment grew on either ion, but the presence of nitrate precluded the reduction of selenate. Stock cultures of denitrifiers grew anaerobically on nitrate but not on selenate.
