The second column represents a lake of the Archaean Eon (3500 million years ago) and holds an anaerobic community predominated by purple sulfur phototrophic bacteria (Chromatium sp., Thiocapsa sp.) and green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobium sp.).
Despite the abundance of the isolates in the samples, Serratia marcescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Chromatium sp, and Erwinia amylovora exhibited minimal growth towards the end of incubation period indicating weak ability to utilize the PAH.
Light levels as low as 1% of the incident near-infrared radiation (800 to 900 nm) are sufficient for Chromatium, a phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium, to dominate the chemocline (Fig.
