Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

Almost the entire seafloor is covered with sediments that can be more than 10 000 m thick
and represent a vast microbial ecosystem that is a major component of Earth's element and …

A great number of the bacteria and archaea on Earth are found in subsurface environments
in a physiological state that is poorly represented or explained by laboratory cultures …

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are used for groundwater remediation at contaminated
sites worldwide. This technology has been efficient at appropriate sites for treating organic …

The human gut contains a plethora of microbes, providing a platform for metabolic
interaction between the host and microbiota. Metabolites produced by the gut microbiota act …

The ability of microorganisms to withstand long periods with extremely low energy input has
gained increasing scientific attention in recent years. Starvation experiments in 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 …

Although mercury (Hg) is toxic at all valence states, organic Hg, especially
monomethylmercury (MeHg, CH3Hg+, methylmercury), is more toxic than inorganic Hg (Hg …

Dissimilatory sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRB) are a very diverse group of anaerobic
bacteria that are omnipresent in nature and play an imperative role in the global cycling of …
