Controls of H2S, Fe2 +, and Mn2 + on Microbial NO3–-Reducing Processes in Sediments of an Eutrophic Lake

Abstract: Understanding the biogeochemical controls on the partitioning between nitrogen (N) removal through denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), and N recycling via dissimilatory nitrate (NO 3 −) reduction to ammonium (DNRA) is crucial for constraining lacustrine N budgets. Besides organic carbon, inorganic compounds may serve as electron donors for NO 3 − reduction, yet the significance of lithotrophic NO 3 − reduction in the environment is still poorly understood. Conducting incubation experime… Show more

“…Although, the microbial reactions between Fe 2+ and NO 3 − have been known known to exist for more than two decades (Straub et al, 1996), the role of microbial Fe 2+ oxidation with NO 3 − reduction in natural sediments has remained unclear. In an experiment with microbial mass from Lake Lugano sediments, N 2 production was stimulated at low Fe 2+ enrichment levels (Fe 2+ ≤ 258 μM) but almost completely suppressed at higher levels (≥ 1300 μM) (Cojean et al, 2020). Because of the difference in experimental set ups, the results are not directly comparable, but stimulation of denitrification by Fe 2+ at St1 and St3 appears to be in line with the results from Lake Lugano.…”

“…Chemolithotrophic DNRA has also been thought to be negligible in freshwater ecosystem because of low availability of sulfides (Fenchel & Blackburn, 1979), which presence has been shown to favor DNRA over denitrification (Brunet & Garcia-Gil, 1996;Christensen et al, 2000). However, the recent discovery of Fe 2+ driven DNRA in lake sediments (Robertson & Thamdrup, 2017;Cojean et al, 2020) suggests that DNRA could be an important process especially because transport of Fe to boreal lakes has been increasing during the past decades (Weyhenmeyer et al, 2014). Despite the increasing evidence of the linkage between N and Fe cycles, we found negligible DNRA rates compared to denitrification in this NO 3 − and Fe rich lake, even under elevated Fe 2+ and NO 3 − availability in the sediment layers, where conditions should have been otherwise favorable for Fe 2+ driven DNRA.…”

“…Potential rates of denitrification and DNRA under true anoxic conditions were quantified at both sampling sites in October 2017. Anammox rates were measured in a previous study at different times of the year, and their contribution to the total fixed-N removal was always less than 1 %, thus negligible with respect to other processes (Cojean et al, 2019). Indeed, in all experiments, denitrification and DNRA were the main benthic N transformation processes with an essentially equal contribution to the total nitrate reduction (≈ 0.1 µmol N g −1 wet sed.…”

“…We ensured that measured DNRA rates were not underestimated due to 15 NH + 4 loss through adsorption on mineral surfaces. Previous results (Cojean et al, 2019) demonstrate that adsorption of ambient or tracer ammonium does not occur at detectable levels in the dilute sediment slurries. Ammonium consumption by nitrifiers in the presence of O 2 , however, might slightly affect quantification of DNRA rates.…”

“…Under these conditions of total and early deep water anoxia, sediment plays an important role in water quality [13,14]. The acceleration of the eutrophication phenomenon causes the degradation of the organoleptic quality of the waters of this reservoir by the appearance of hydrogen sulphide, manganese and iron with all their negative consequences on the various uses of the water including in particular the production of drinking water [15][16][17].…”
