| Abstract | The capacity to form acetate from endogenous matter was a common property of diverse forest soils when incubated under anaerobic conditions. At 15 to 20(deg)C, acetate synthesis occurred without appreciable delay when forest soils were incubated as buffered suspensions or in microcosms at various percentages of their maximum water holding capacity. Rates for acetate formation with soil suspensions ranged from 35 to 220 (mu)g of acetate per g (dry weight) of soil per 24 h, and maximal acetate concentrations obtained in soil suspensions were two- to threefold greater than those obtained with soil microcosms at the average water holding capacity of the soil. Cellobiose degradation in soil suspensions yielded H(inf2) as a transient product. Under anaerobic conditions, supplemental H(inf2) and CO(inf2) were directed towards the acetogenic synthesis of acetate, and enrichments yielded a syringate-H(inf2)-consuming acetogenic consortium. At in situ temperatures, acetate was a relatively stable anaerobic end product; however, extended incubation periods induced acetoclastic methanogenesis and sulfate reduction. Higher mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures greatly enhanced the capacity of soils to form methane. Although methanogenic and sulfate-reducing activities under in situ-relevant conditions were negligible, these findings nonetheless demonstrated the occurrence of methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria in these aerated terrestrial soils. In contrast to the protracted stability of acetate under anaerobic conditions at 15 to 20(deg)C with unsupplemented soils, acetate formed by forest soils was rapidly consumed in the presence of oxygen and nitrate, and substrate-product stoichiometries indicated that acetate turnover was coupled to oxygen-dependent respiration and denitrification. The collective results suggest that acetate formed under anaerobic conditions might constitute a trophic link between anaerobic and aerobic processes in forest soils. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
