[Metabolism peculiarities of bacteria restoring chlorates and perchlorates]
Abstract:
Bacteria facultative anaerobes capable to restore chlorine oxygen compounds - chlorates and perchlorates, using them as terminal acceptors of electrons, have been isolated from various natural sources. Chloride is the end product of this process. Besides chlorates and perchlorates the isolated bacteria also restored other electron acceptors: chromates, sulfates, nitrates, vanadates, manganates. The studied restored bacteria use awhole number of organic compounds as electron donors. The paper is presented in Russian.
