FIG. 1.

Effects of several inhibitors on the degradation of DMS (A) and the formation of MT (B and C) in anoxic slurries prepared from the sediment of a eutrophic pond (on the campus of Dekkerswald Institute) after the addition of DMS (A and B) and without addition of DMS (C). Both DMS-amended slurries and slurries without DMS were incubated without inhibitor (control) (■) or with the addition of BES (□), molybdate (⧫), or molybdate plus BES (◊). The arrows indicate the times of the addition of the inhibitors (BES and molybdate).
