Anoxic sediments collected from Shiwha-ho area were used to find the relationship between the heavymetal, organic content and anaerobic respiration bacteria by most probable number (MPN) method. Analysis of the sediments showed that COD content was higher in the sediments collected from Ansan-cheon and Shiwha-ho than those collected from sea area nearby. Particularly noticeable was the fact that heavy metal concentration was much higher in the sediments of Shiwha-ho than those of the other areas. Fe(III)-reducing bacteria were low in the sediments collected from Shiwha-ho area contaminated by heavy-metal, although they were rich in electron donor and electron acceptor for Fe(III)-reducing bacteria. The number of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using lactate as an electron donor was inthe range of 1.1*10 6-4.6*10 7 MPNs/ml in the sediments collected from the sea-side of the lake, which were lower in heavy-metal concentration and higher in Fe-Mn content than those from other region. The number of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using acetate as an electron donor was in the ranger of 4.3*10 2-8.1*10 5 MPNs/ml in the same sediments. Chromate-reducing bacteria were more populated(4.6*10 4-8.1*10 5 MPNs/ml) in the sediments contaminated by heavy metals. The number of sulfate-reducing bacteria was 1.49*10 7 MPNs/ml in the sediments with higher COD. Higher sulfate-reducing bacteria were counted in the sediments collected from the more contaminated inner-side than those from the sea-side of the lake.
