AB  - The microbial population structure and function of a mixed culture of 
      sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) maintained in anaerobic continuous bioreactors 
      were tracked before and after a major perturbation, which involved the addition 
      of sulfate to the influent of a bioreactor when operated at steady state at 35 
      degrees C, pH 7.8 and a 2.5 day residence time with feed stream containing 10 and 
      15 kg m(-3) sulfate as terminal electron acceptor and 19.6 and 29.4 kg m(-3) 
      ethanol as carbon source and electron donor, respectively. The population 
      structure determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), by using 16S 
      rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes, was linked to the functional performance of 
      the SRB in the reactor. Hybridization analysis using these 16S rRNA-targeted 
      oligonucleotide probes revealed that a high concentration of sulfate was toxic 
      for Desulfobacterium and Desulfobulbus. On the other hand, the Desulfococcus 
      group was found to be the most dominant group of SRB in the feed stream 
      containing 15 kg m(-3) sulfate as terminal electron acceptor and 29.4 kg m(-3) 
      ethanol as carbon source and electron donor.
