Cell-specific rates of sulfate reduction and fermentation in the sub-seafloor biosphere
Microorganisms in subsurface sediments live from recalcitrant organic matter deposited thousands or millions of years ago. Their catabolic activities are low, but the deep biosphere is of global importance due to its volume.

Patterns of sulfur isotope fractionation during microbial sulfate reduction [PDF]
AbstractStudies of microbial sulfate reduction have suggested that the magnitude of sulfur isotope fractionation varies with sulfate concentration. Small apparent sulfur isotope fractionations preserved in Archean rocks have been interpreted as suggesting Archean sulfate concentrations of <200 μm, while larger fractionations thereafter have been ...

Microbial sulfate reduction and organic sulfur formation in sinking marine particles [PDF]
Where they can't breathe Climate warming is causing the expansion of marine oxygen-deficient zones, which are regions in which dissolved oxygen concentrations are so low that many marine animals cannot survive. This phenomenon also might affect the global cycles of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and trace metals in the

Microbial sulfate reduction is a dominant process of organic matter mineralization in sulfate-rich anoxic environments at neutral pH. Recent studies have demonstrated sulfate reduction in low pH environments, but investigations on the microbial activity ...

A comprehensive sulfur and oxygen isotope study of sulfur cycling in a shallow, hyper-euxinic meromictic lake [PDF]
Mahoney Lake is a permanently anoxic and sulfidic (euxinic) lake that has a dense plate of purple sulfur bacteria positioned at mid-water depth (∼7 m) where free sulfide intercepts the photic zone. We analyzed the isotopic composition of sulfate (δ34SSO4

Hydrothermal vents are thermally and geochemically dynamic habitats, and the organisms therein are subject to steep gradients in temperature and chemistry. To date, the influence of these environmental dynamics on microbial sulfate reduction has not been

Oxygen respiration and polysaccharide degradation by a sulfate-reducing acidobacterium
Sulfate-reducing microorganisms represent a globally important link between the sulfur and carbon cycles. Recent metagenomic surveys expanded the diversity of microorganisms putatively involved in sulfate reduction underscoring our incomplete ...

INHIBITION OF MICROBIAL SULFATE REDUCTION BY MOLYBDATE
Hydrogen sulfide generation in oil production is a constant cause of concern. In several cases this phenomenon occurs due to the action of sulfate-reducing bacteria. Various methods, including biocides and nitrate addition, have been used to control the activity of these microorganisms, but they are expensive and have side effects.
