摘要：Constructed wetlands are an alternative for the treatment of effluents where biological oxidation processes caused by the rhizosphere of plants and microorganisms present in situ , contribute to the removal of contaminants. In the present work, we characterized the sulfur (S) metabolism of ten bacteria belonging to the genera Acinetobacter , Alcaligenes , Ochrobactrum and Pseudomonas , which were isolated from a wetland constructed for the treatment of effluents with high organic matter content (biochemical oxygen demand: BOD 5 1320 mg/L) and sulfides (54 mg/L) from the leather tanning industry. Biochemical assays indicate that all the isolates can use some sulfur species such as elemental sulfur (S 0 ), thiosulfate (S 2 O 6 2– ) or sulfide (S 2– ) as the sole source of S. We also found that strains of Pseudomonas genus were the most versatile base on the fact that they oxidize S 2– (2 mM) and S 2 O 6 2– (4 mM) transforming them to S 0 and tetrathionate (S 4 O 6 2– ), respectively, whereas Acinetobacter strains only oxidize S 0 to S 2 O 6 2– . We also found that the strains of the genera Alcaligenes and Ochrobactrum oxidize S 2 O 6 2– (4 mM) to S 4 O 6 2– . The activity of these microorganisms through the treatment system and the integration of their metabolism might actively participate in the removal of sulfur compounds.
