Abstract

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos das alterações dos valores de salinidade e da disponibilidade de substratos sobre a metanogênese em duas lagoas costeiras do Norte Fluminense (lagoa Cabiúnas, de água doce à salobra, e lagoa Piripiri, de salobra à hipersalina). Para tanto, realizou-se: (1) levantamento bibliométrico na base Scopus (Elsevier) sobre o tema ‘methanogenesis’ e ‘salinity’; (2) experimentos onde alteramos as concentrações de salinidade e as concentrações de sulfato e acetato. O levantamento bibliométrico demonstrou o aumento das publicações sobre o tema ao longo do tempo, indicando uma nova tendência desse campo de pesquisa no cenário científico. Quanto à adição de NaCl, houve crescimento na produção de metano na lagoa Cabiúnas no aumento de salinidade de 0,9 para 4,0. Na lagoa Piripiri o incremento na produção de metano foi observado com aumento da salinidade de 69,1 para 155,0. Os aumentos maiores da salinidade inibiram a produção de metano na lagoa Cabiúnas e não alteraram na lagoa Piripiri. A adição de sulfato reduziu significativamente a produção de metano na lagoa Cabiúnas, enquanto a adição de acetato a fez aumentar. A adição de sulfato e acetato não alterou a produção de metano na lagoa Piripiri. Estes resultados demonstram o efeito da alteração nos valores de salinidade sobre a produção de metano em ambas as lagoas e que há competição entre a biota metanogênica e a sulfato-redutora na lagoa Cabiúnas enquanto o mesmo não ocorre na lagoa Piripiri.

SALINITY AND SUBSTRATE AVAILABILITY: IMPLICATIONS FOR METHANOGENIC ACTIVITY IN TWO COASTAL LAGOONS IN THE NORTH OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of changes in salinity values and availability of substrates on methanogenesis in two coastal lagoons in Northern Fluminense (Cabiúnas lagoon, from fresh to brackish water, and Piripiri lagoon, from brackish to hypersaline). To this end, it was carried out: (1) a bibliometric survey on the Scopus (Elsevier) base on the theme ‘methanogenesis’ and ‘salinity’; (2) experiments where we changed the salinity concentrations and the sulfate and acetate concentrations. The bibliometric survey showed an increase in publications on the subject over time, indicating a new trend in this field of research in the scientific scenario. As for the addition of NaCl, there was an increase in the production of methane in the Cabiúnas lagoon, with an increase in salinity from 0.9 to 4.0. In the Piripiri lagoon the increment in methane production was observed with an increase in salinity from 69.1 to 155.0. Higher increases in salinity inhibited methane production in the Cabiúnas lagoon and did not change in the Piripiri lagoon. The addition of sulfate reduced while the addition of acetate significantly increased the production of methane in the Cabiúnas lagoon. The addition of sulfate and acetate did not alter the methane production in the Piripiri lagoon. These results demonstrate the effect of the change in salinity values on methane production in both lagoons and that there is competition between methanogenic and sulfate-reducing biota in the Cabiúnas lagoon while the same does not occur in the Piripiri lagoon.
