Welcome to the Winogradsky column lab page! Students from the Departments of Biological Applications and Technology, University of Ioannina and Icthyology and Aquatic Environment, University of Thessaly, Greece and the Microbiology course, Faculty of Sciences, University of Cádiz, Spain, discuss their findings on Winogradsky columns they constructed!

Rio San Pedro sediment + filter paper


Day 49


Hello there,

Since the last post a lot of time has passed by, so that the development of one bottle is considerable advanced. The `darkness bottle´ presents almost the same aspect, it´s means that black zones, caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria, have spread to more areas of the sediment.

Meanwhile, the `light bottle´ has undergone a growth of new life. In the bright side, cianobacteria have appeared all over this wall, as well as in the superface. Due to these photosynthetic microorganisms, it shows green coloration and O2 realising. At the bottom of the bottle, where most sulphate-reducing bacteria develop, new living microorganism have grown up too: sulphate green bacteria have appeared causing green coloration (as they are photolitoautotrophic) and sulphate reddish bacteria have allowed to observe red small zones. The limits between the light and shadow side of this bottle continue to differentiate through reddish lines of oxidation.

Comparision between darkness (right) and light (left) column.


This is our light column development:

We'll come back soon!!
