The purpose of this study was to describe the dynamics of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled with sulfate reduction (SR) using experimental data from a continuous incubation experiments published earlier in order to show that formation of consortia of anaerobic archaea (ANME) and Desulfosarcina-like bacteria (DSS) may have a significant effect on sulfur isotope fractionation. The dynamic simulation of reversible AOM by ANME coupled with SR by DSS was performed. This simulation took into account biomass growth and fractionation of stable isotopes of sulfur. Two kinetic schemes with and without ANME + DSS consortium formation were tested. The respective models were applied at five influent methane concentrations. A good fit to experimental data was obtained only when assuming active ANME and DSS biomass accumulation. The assumption about incorporation of reversibility of anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfate reduction did not improve the model's fit to experimental data. In accordance with both the models, sulfur isotope fractionation was smallest for the highest influent methane concentration. The model considering the formation of consortia of ANME + DSS is proved to be more appropriate.
