We investigated the relationship between ionic concentrations and the sulfuroxidizing activity of microorganisms in aerosols and rainwater . Aerosol and rainwater samples were collected in Niigata City over a period of one and four years, respectively. Aerosol and rainwater were examined for microbial sulfur -oxidizingactivity in pH 4.0, 6.0 and 3.5 culture medium which contained sodium thiosulfate as anenergy source. The sulfur-oxidizing activity was measured as thiosulfate consumptionand sulfuric acid formation . We found high concentrations of Ca2+ and NH4+ and lowconcentrations of Na+ and SO42- in the aerosol component from December to May.Little sulfur-oxidizing activity by microorganis was found in the aerosol .Highly significant correlations were shown between the nss-SO42-- and nss-Ca2+concentrations in the autumn and spring rainwater . In rainwater, we suggest 2 typesof sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms one of which oxidizes thiosulfate to sulfate in theculture media of pH 6 and pH 3.5 while the other is able to oxidize thiosulfate but notto sulfate in the same media with pH 6.For rainwater which had the higher sulfur-oxidizing activity in the pH 3.5 and 4.0culture medium, ratio of nss-SO42- to the total-SO42- was high.
