Bacteria-phosphate interactions in Upper Klamath Lake sediments

Creator:: Harrison, Michael John
Abstract:: Interactions between sediment bacteria and available phosphate necessary for algal production in a eutrophic lake were studied. Twenty percent of the organisms isolated solubilized phosphate forms such as CaHPO₄, Ca₃(PO₄)₂, FePO₄, Mg₃(PO₄)₂ and Al₂(PO₄)₂. Solubilization of phosphates occurred under conditions of aerobic growth. Upon quantitative analysis, some isolates were capable...
