Scientific paper

Complete mineralization of organic matter results from a multitude of complex bacterial activities which must involve more than one species of bacteria. The diverse bacterial activities influence the pH, redox potential, production of gases and their resulting disfiguration of the sediment, concentration of certain elements, precipitation and solution of carbonates, diagenesis of silicates, the production of complex organic compounds such as surface-active agents and many other properties of sediments. The bacterial activities are not constant but proportional to the amount of organic matter, pH, sediment particle size, temperature, sequence of physical changes caused by the bacteria in the sediment and the sequence of the production of organic by-products during decomposition.
