Abstract | High-Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) is a sustainable approach for integrating thermal energy from various sources into complex energy systems. Temperatures ≥45°C, which are relevant in impact zones of HT-ATES systems, may dramatically influence the structure and activities of indigenous aquifer microbial communities. Here, we characterized an acetate-mineralizing, sulfate-reducing microbial community derived from an aquifer and adapted to 45°C. Acetate mineralization was strongly inhibited at temperatures ≤25°C and 60°C. Prolonged incubation at 12°C and 25°C resulted in acetate mineralization recovery after 40–80 days whereas acetate was not mineralized at 60°C within 100 days. Cultures pre-grown at 45°C and inhibited for 28 days by incubation at 12°C, 25°C, or 60°C recovered quickly after changing the temperature back to 45°C. Phylotypes affiliated to the order Spirochaetales and to endospore-forming sulfate reducers of the order Clostridiales were highly abundant in microcosms being active at 45°C highlighting their key role. In summary, prolonged incubation at 45°C resulted in active microbial communities mainly consisting of organisms adapted to temperatures between the typical temperature range of mesophiles and thermophiles and being resilient to temporary heat changes. |
