With the rapid economy and population growth, wastewater containing sulfate originated
from industrial and human activities have gradually become a potential threat to the …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

The energy metabolism of essential microbial guilds in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle is
based on a DsrAB-type dissimilatory (bi) sulfite reductase that either catalyzes the reduction …

Lithotrophic sulfur oxidation is an ancient metabolic process. Ecologically and taxonomically
diverged prokaryotes have differential abilities to utilize different reduced sulfur compounds …

Recent biochemical and genomic data differentiate the sulfur oxidation pathway of Archaea
from those of Bacteria. From these data it is evident that members of the Alphaproteobacteria …

The number of sequenced genomes of sulfate reducing organisms (SRO) has increased
significantly in the recent years, providing an opportunity for a broader perspective into their …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced inside the intestine and is known as a poison that
inhibits cellular respiration at the level of cytochrome oxidase. However, sulfide is used as …

Phototrophic sulfur bacteria are characterized by oxidizing various inorganic sulfur
compounds for use as electron donors in carbon dioxide fixation during anoxygenic …

The complete genome sequence of Thiobacillus denitrificans ATCC 25259 is the first to
become available for an obligately chemolithoautotrophic, sulfur-compound-oxidizing, β …

The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited
understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological …
