Characterization of DsrD and its interaction with the DsrAB dissimilatory sulfite reductase [PDF]
Protein ScienceAbstractMicrobial dissimilatory sulfate reduction is a key process in the global sulfur and carbon cycles in anoxic ecosystems. In this anaerobic respiration, sulfate is phosphorylated and reduced to sulfite, which is further reduced to a DsrC‐trisulfide by the dissimilatory sulfite reductase DsrAB.

Sulfur oxidation and reduction are coupled to nitrogen fixation in the roots of the salt marsh foundation plant Spartina alterniflora [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHeterotrophic activity, primarily driven by sulfate-reducing prokaryotes, has traditionally been linked to nitrogen fixation in the root zone of coastal marine plants, leaving the role of chemolithoautotrophy in this process unexplored.
