Background  The Cariaco Basin is characterized by pronounced and predictable vertical layering of microbial communities dominated by reduced sulfur species at and below the redox transition zone. Marine water samples were collected in May, 2005 and 2006, at the sampling stations A (10°30′ N, 64°40′ W), B (10°40′ N, 64°45′ W) and D (10°43’N, 64°32’W) from different depths, including surface, redox interface, and anoxic zones. In order to enrich for sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB), water samples were inoculated into anaerobic media amended with lactate or acetate as carbon source. To analyze the composition of enrichment cultures, we performed DNA extraction, PCR-DGGE, and sequencing of selected bands.    Results  DGGE results indicate that many bacterial genera were present that are associated with the sulfur cycle, including  Desulfovibrio  spp., as well a s  heterotrophs belonging to  Vibrio ,  Enterobacter ,  Shewanella ,  Fusobacterium ,  Marinifilum ,  Mariniliabilia , and  Spirochaeta . These bacterial populations are related to sulfur coupling and carbon cycles in an environment of variable redox conditions and oxygen availability.    Conclusions  In our studies, we found an association of SRB-like  Desulfovibrio  with  Vibrio  species and other genera that have a previously defined relevant role in sulfur transformation and coupling of carbon and sulfur cycles in an environment where there are variable redox conditions and oxygen availability. This study provides new information about microbial species that were culturable on media for SRB at anaerobic conditions at several locations and water depths in the Cariaco Basin.
