Blue-green algal mats incubated anaerobically rapidly produce large amounts of volatile sulfur compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. The major organic sulfur compound is methyl mercaptan, in contrast to previous results with marine eucaryotic algae. Light inhibited production of volatile sulfur compounds, apparently because the algae then produced O2, rendering the system aerobic.
厌氧培养的蓝绿藻垫会迅速产生大量挥发性硫化合物,包括硫化氢、甲硫醇和二甲基硫。主要的有机硫化合物是甲硫醇,这与之前关于海洋真核藻类的研究结果不同。光照会抑制挥发性硫化合物的产生,显然是因为藻类此时会产生氧气,使系统变为需氧环境。
