Sulfate/sulfite-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are ubiquitous in nature, driving the global
sulfur cycle. A hallmark of SRM is the dissimilatory sulfite reductase encoded by the genes …

The continuous increase in sulfate (SO 4 2−) concentrations discharged by anthropogenic
activities lacks insights into their dynamics and potential impact on CH 4 budgets in …

Cable bacteria are filamentous members of the Desulfobulbaceae family that oxidize sulfide
with oxygen or nitrate by transferring electrons over centimeter distances in sediments …

The nitrogen (N) cycle is of global importance, as N is an essential element and a limiting
nutrient in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Excessive anthropogenic N fertilizer usage …

The dramatical increase of sulfur concentration in eutrophic lakes, especially sulfate (SO 4
2−), has brought attention to the impact on the lake ecosystem; however, the mechanisms …

Uncovering microbial response to salinization or desalinization is of great importance to
understanding of the influence of global climate change on lacustrine microbial ecology. In …

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a particular environment that is continuously exposed to
hydrocarbon compounds that may influence the microbial community composition. We …

Microorganisms in sediments play an important role in carbon (C)-, nitrogen (N)-and sulfur
(S)-cycles by regulating forms and contents of these elements. The coupled system or …

Chitin is massively produced by freshwater plankton species as a structural element of their
exoskeleton or cell wall. At the same time, chitin does not accumulate in the predominantly …

Peatlands occur globally, and peat's microbial biodiversity is dominated by nutrient cycling.
Peat soils derive acidity through carbon cycling, and the role of sulfur‐utilising bacteria is …
