Molybdate Reduction to Molybdenum Blue by an Antarctic Bacterium

Figure 4

The effect of temperature on molybdate reduction by isolate DRY1. Isolate DRY1 was grown statically at various temperatures for 72 hours in 50 mL low phosphate liquid medium (pH 7.0) containing (w/v) glucose (1%), MgSO₄⋅7H₂O (0.05%), NaCl (0.5%), Na₂MoO₄⋅2H₂O (0.242%), yeast extract (0.05%), Na₂HPO₄⋅2H₂O (0.05%), and ammonium sulphate (0.2%). Error bars represent mean ± standard error (𝑛=3).
