title: Vanadate reduction by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.
abstract: The ability of three Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to reduce vanadate under microaerophilic conditions has been studied. It has been demonstrated that P. aeruginosa strains A17, A03 and C25a were able to reduce up to 38-60% pentavalent vanadium present in the medium. Vanadate reduction by P. aeruginosa strains A17, A03 and C25a was not associated with anaerobic respiration. It has been shown that vanadate reduction by P. aeruginosa strains is not the result of the spontaneous process. This is the first report of stimulation of vanadate reduction by ATPase activity inhibitor N-N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under aerobic conditions.
