Abstract
In this study, a chloride ion probe as a direct measurement for perchlorate reduction was used to determine whether biological perchlorate reduction was inhibited by other electron acceptors ($O_2$ and ${NO_3}^-$) and to investigate competition of electron acceptors for using electron donors. Profiles of chloride production (= perchlorate reduction) in flasks containing perchlorate reducing populations were monitored by a chloride ion probe. Biological reduction of 2 mM perchlorate was inhibited by 2 mM nitrate that chloride production rate was decreased by 30% compared to perchlorate used as the only electron acceptor and chloride production rate was decreased by 70% when acetate was limited. Reduction of 2mM perchlorate was completely inhibited by oxygen at 7~8 mg/L, regardless of acetate excess / limitation.

본 연구에서는 질산염(${NO_3}^-$)과 용존산소(DO)에 의한 생물학적 퍼클로레이트 환원의 저해 그리고 전자공여체를 차지하기 위한 이러한 전자수용체들의 경쟁적 관계를 조사하고자 염소이온프로브(chloride ion probe)를 직접적인 측정방법으로 사용하였다. 퍼클로레이트 환원미생물을 포함하는 플라스크에서 염소이온프로브를 이용하여 염소생성 (=퍼클로레이트 환원)을 모니터링하였다. 2 mM 퍼클로레이트의 생물학적 환원은 2 mM의 질산염에 의해 저해를 받았으며, 염소이온 생성율이 퍼클로레이트가 단독으로 존재하는 경우에 비해 30% 정도 감소하였고, 아세테이트가 제한된 상태이며 질산염과 퍼클로레이트가 공존하는 경우는 염소이온의 생성율이 약 70% 정도 감소하였다. 7-8 mg/L의 용존산소와 2 mM의 퍼클로레이트가 공존하는 조건에서 아세테이트의 공급정도와 상관없이 퍼클로레이트의 생물학적 환원작용이 완벽하게 저해를 받았다.
