Abstract
This article presents the regularities of reduction of sulfur, nitrate and nitrite ions by sulfur reducing bacteria Desulfuromonas sp., which were isolated from the water of the man-made Yavorivske Lake (Lviv Region, Ukraine), under the influence of potassium dichromate. This bacteria in the process of anaerobic respiration can use and reduce different electron acceptors, such as sulfur, nitrates, nitrites, oxidized forms of heavy metals, in particular, hexavalent chromium. Technogenically altered ecotopes are characterized by complex pollution, so several electron acceptors are available to bacteria at the same time. Strains of microorganisms isolated from such ecotopes are adapted to unfavourable conditions and therefore have high biotechnological potential. The purpose of this work was to investigate the regularities of elemental sulfur, nitrate or nitrite ion usage by sulfidogenic bacteria of Desulfuromonas genus in conditions of simultaneous presence in the medium of another electron acceptor – Cr(VI), to establish the succession of reduction of electron acceptors by strains of these bacteria and to evaluate the efficiency of their possible application in technologies of complex purification of the environment from metal compounds and other inorganic toxicants. Bacteria were grown under anaerobic conditions in Kravtsov-Sorokin medium without SO42– and without Mohr’s salt for 10 days. To study the efficiency of sulfur, nitrate or nitrite ions’ reduction at simultaneous presence in the medium of Cr(VI) bacteria were sown in media with elemental sulfur, NaNO3, NaNO2 or K2Cr2O7 to final S0, NO3–, NO2–or Cr(VI) concentration in the medium of 3.47 (concentration of SO42– in medium of standard composition) or 1.74, 3.47, 5.21, 6.94 and 10.41 mM. Biomass was determined by the turbidimetric method, and the concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, ammonium ions, hydrogen sulfide, Cr(VI), Cr(ІІІ) in cultural liquid were determined spectrophotometrically. It has been established that Cr(VI) inhibits the biomass accumulation and hydrogen sulfide production by bacteria of Desulfuromonas sp. after simultaneous addition into the medium of 3.47 mM S0 and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of S0 and Cr(VI) bacteria produced Cr(III) at concentrations 3.3–3.4 times higher than that of hydrogen sulfide. It has been shown that K2Cr2O7 inhibits biomass accumulation, nitrate ions’ reduction and ammonium ions’ production by bacteria after simultaneous addition into the medium of 3.47 mM NO3– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI) or 1.74–10.41 mM NO3– and 3.47 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of NO3– and Cr(VI) bacteria reduced up to 1.2 times more nitrate ions than Cr(VI) with the production of ammonium ions at concentrations the same times higher than those of Cr(III). It has been established that K2Cr2O7 inhibits biomass accumulation, nitrite ions’ reduction and ammonium ions’ production by bacteria after simultaneous addition into the medium of 3.47 mM NO2– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI) or 1.74–10.41 mM NO2– and 3.47 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content of (3.47 mM) NO2– and Cr(VI) the reduction of Cr(VI) by bacteria was only slightly, up to 1.1 times, lower than the reduction of nitrite ions, almost the same concentrations of trivalent chromium and ammonium ions were detected in the cultural liquid. The processes of nitrate and nitride reduction carried out by bacteria of Desulfuromonas genus were revealed to be less sensitive to the negative influence of sodium dichromate, as compared with the process of sulfur reduction, because in the media with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of NO3– or NO2– and Cr(VI) bacteria produced 1.1–1.2 times more NH4+ than Cr(III), but in the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of S0 and Cr(VI) ) bacteria produced over than three times more Cr(III) than hydrogen sulfide. Our data allow us to conclude that bacteria of Desulfuromonas genus, the investigated strains of which are adapted to high concentrations (up to 10.41 mM) of inorganic toxicants, play an important role in the geochemical cycles of sulfur, nitrogen and chromium in aquatic environments that have been under anthropogenic influence.

Abstract
In the process of anaerobic respiration, sulfate reducing bacteria, besides sulfates, can use other electron acceptors: nitrates, nitrites, oxidized forms of heavy metals, in particular, hexavalent chromium, which are harmful for organisms. Selection of pollutant-resistant stains of this kind of bacteria isolated from technogenically altered ecotopes, capable of reductive transformation of various nature pollutants, is an especially relevant task for the creation of new effective remediation biotechnologies. The purpose of this work was to investigate the regularities of usage of sulfate, nitrate or nitrite ions by bacteria of the Desulfovibrio genus, isolated from Yavorivske Lake, at conditions of simultaneous presence in the medium of another electron acceptor – Cr(VI), to establish a succession of electron acceptors’ reduction by investigated sulfidogenic bacteria and to evaluate the efficiency of their possible application in technologies of complex purification of the environment from metal, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. Bacteria were grown under anaerobic conditions for 10 days in Kravtsov-Sorokin medium without Mohr’s salt. To study the efficiency of sulfate, nitrate, or nitrite ions’ reduction at simultaneous presence in the medium of Cr(VI), bacteria were sown in media with Na2SO4×10H2O, NaNO3, NaNO2 or K2Cr2O7 to final SO42–, NO3–, NO2– or Cr(VI) concentration in the medium of 3.47 (concentration of SO42– in medium of standard composition) or 1.74, 3.47, 5.21, 6.94, 10.41 mM. Biomass was determined turbidimetrically, and the concentrations of sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium ions, hydrogen sulfide, Cr(VI), Cr(ІІІ) in cultural liquid were determined by spectrophotometric method. It has been established that Cr(VI) inhibits the biomass accumulation, sulfate ions’ reduction and hydrogen sulfide production by Desulfovibrio sp. after simultaneous introduction into the medium of 3.47 mM SO42– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of SO42– and Cr(VI), bacteria reduced 2.1–2.3 times more Cr(VI) than sulfate ions with Cr(III) production at concentrations up to 2.2 times higher than hydrogen sulfide. It has been shown that K2Cr2O7 inhibits the biomass accumulation, the nitrate ions reduction and the ammonium ions production by bacteria after simultaneous addition into the medium of 3.47 mM NO3– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI) or 1.74–10.41 mM NO3– and 3.47 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) of NO3– and Cr(VI) bacteria reduced 1.1–1.3 times more nitrate ions than Cr(VI) with the production of ammonium ions at concentrations up to 1.3 times higher than that of Cr(III). It has been established that K2Cr2O7 inhibits the biomass accumulation, the nitrite ions’ reduction and the ammonium ions’ production by bacteria after simultaneous addition into the medium of 3.47 mM NO2– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VI) or 1.74–10.41 mM NO2– and 3.47 mM Cr(VI). In the medium with the same initial content (3.47 mM) NO2– and Cr(VI) the reduction of Cr(VI) by bacteria practically did not differ from the reduction of nitrite ions (was only slightly lower – up to 1.1 times), almost the same concentrations of trivalent chromium and ammonium ions in the cultural liquid were detected. The processes of nitrate and nitride reduction, carried out by bacteria of Desulfovibrio genus, were revealed to be less sensitive to the negative influence of sodium dichromate, as compared with the process of sulfate ions’ reduction, which in the medium with 3.47 mM SO42– and 1.74–10.41 mM Cr(VІ) decreased by 3.2–4.6 times as compared with this process in the medium with only Na2SO4×10H2O. The investigated strains of bacteria are adapted to high concentrations of toxic pollutants (up to 10.41 mM) and therefore are promising for application in technologies of complex environment purification from hexavalent chromium, sulfur and nitrogen compounds.

Abstract
As the development of marine economy, the submarine battery with the seawater electrolyte has obtained more and more attentions. Owing to the conventional electrochemical catalysts of the cathodes in seawater battery are expensive, it is to seek the new biological catalysts to improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode and reduce the cost of seawater battery. A novel marine bacterial strain (Strain SQ-32) phylogenetically related to the Erythrobactercitreus strain has been isolated from the sea-bed sludge in the Yellow Sea of China successfully. The electrochemical measurements, which include the cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, have been conducted in synthetic seawater. The electrochemical testing results show that the Strain SQ-32 is a cold-tolerant bacterium, which may exhibit a catalytic activity for the ORR in synthetic seawater at a freezing temperature. The SEM photo demonstrates that the Strain SQ-32 displays a rod-shaped characteristic, which has a diameter of 0.4μm and a length of about 1-2.5μm. By the testing of Gram staining, the Strain SQ-32 has been identified as a Gram-negative bacterium. The chemical analytical result reveals that the bacterium cell of Strain SQ-32 contains 1.92mgg-1 (DCW) of coenzyme Q10, which is a possible impact factor on the electro-catalytic effect on the Strain SQ-32. The exploitation of Strain SQ-32 may boost the development of the biocathode of seawater battery at a low temperature.

Abstract
Cultivating anodic respiring bacteria (ARB) on anodes doped with metal-enhanced biological growth and affected higher electocatalytic activity (ECA). The anode doped with calcium sulfide (CaS) proved more favorable for ARB than the magnetite (Fe3O4) or iron(II) sulfide (FeS). Average anodic current densities of 8.4 Am2- (Fe3O4), 11.1 Am2- (FeS), and 22.0 Am2- (CaS) were achieved as compared to that of nondoped carbon (5.1 A m-2). Thus, CaS-doped graphite represents a promising anode material which is suitable for highly efficient bioelectrochemical systems (BES). Electrochemical evaluation during turnover and starvation using simple cycle voltammetry (CV) and derivative cycle voltammetry (DCV) indicated several extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways characterized with lower potentials for biofilms. However, despite the high affinity of bacteria to iron, their lower ECA was kinetically attributed to the accumulation of self-produced mediators on iron-doped anodes.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have attracted considerable attention as potential biosensors. A MFC biosensor for rapid measurement of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) has been recently studied. However, a standardized bacterial mixture inoculated in the MFC biosensor for BOD measurement is unavailable. Thus, the commercial application of a MFC biosensor is limited. In this study, a mediator-less MFC biosensor inoculated with known mixed cultures to quickly determine BOD concentration was tested. Optimal external resistance, operating temperature and measurement time for the MFC biosensor were determined to be 5000 omega, 35 degrees C and 12h, respectively. A good relationship between BOD concentration and voltage output, high reproducibility and long-term stability for the MFC biosensor was observed. The newly developed MFC biosensor was inoculated with a mixture of six bacterial strains (Thermincola carboxydiphila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Ochrobactrum intermedium, Shewanella frigidimarina, Citrobacter freundii and Clostridium acetobutylicum) capable of degrading complex organic compounds and surviving toxic conditions. The described MFC biosensor was able to successfully measure BOD concentrations below 240 mg L(-1) in real wastewater samples.
