Reduction in soil fertility and depletion of natural resources due to current intensive
agricultural practices along with climate changes are the major constraints for crop …

Sulfur is not only one of the most abundant elements on the Earth, but it is also essential to
all living organisms. As life likely began and evolved in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich …

Vanadium and chromium co-exist commonly with elevated levels in groundwater at
vanadium smelting sites. While bioremediation has been recognized promising for this co …

Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element on Earth (Steudel & Chivers, 2019) and is cycled
dynamically between the geosphere and biosphere. Sulfate or sulfide in water and soil and …

As a result of anthropogenic pollution, the nitrogen nutrients load in urban rivers has
increased, potentially raising the risk of river eutrophication. Here, we studied how …

The disposal of mining wastes that contain cyanide are dumped in tailings from gold
extraction is a public concern in mining countries such as South Africa. Many studies have …

Sulfur deficiency arising due to intensive cultivation, use of sulfur free fertilizers and
reduction in atmospheric sulfur depositions has become a major issue limiting crop …

Since the beginning of unicellular life, dissimilation reactions of autotrophic sulfur bacteria
have been a crucial part of the biogeochemical sulfur cycle on Earth. A wide range of sulfur …

Elemental sulfur and sulfite have been used to inhibit the growth of yeasts, but thiosulfate
has not been reported to be toxic to yeasts. We observed that thiosulfate was more inhibitory …

Copiotrophic bacteria that respond rapidly to nutrient availability, particularly high
concentrations of carbon sources, play indispensable roles in marine carbon cycling …
