Cádiz,7B:Experiment of Winogradsky´s column. Seventh-tenth week(15th April-12th May).

Hello winobloggers:

 This is my fifth post about our Winogradsky's column.I want to remember that in the before post I said that the thiobacillus transform the suplhides to sulphates( sulphuric acid) and, for this reason, these bacteria have proliferated.

 These weeks,the brown part of the mix has progressed almost to the base of the bottle. Now, there is only one centimeter aproximately of black part.

 Also, in this week, two green patchs have appeared in the brown part. One is situated in the dark side of the bottle and the other is in the light side.  We observed that the patch of the light side is bigger than the patch in dark side. We believe that these  are poblations of green sulfur bacteria that proccess the  sulphates( produced by thiobacillus) to sulfur again.

                                          Progress to the bottle in thee weeks.
                                         Dark side                                  Light side

                                                                  Friday, 24 th April.
                                               
Friday, 1st May.


Friday, 8th May.

Green Patchs.

    Nice observations! Why do your bugs need SO4--?

    Thanks!

    Because SO4- can fulfil the role of O2 in the respiratory chain (electron acceptor)

    Is the appearance/disappearance of the black color somehow related to the oxidative capacity of your microcosms?
