Microbial Sulfur Cycle in Two Hydrothermal Chimneys on the Southwest Indian Ridge

mBio, 2014
Sulfur is an important element in sustaining microbial communities present in hydrothermal vents. Sulfur oxidation has been extensively studied due to its importance in chemosynthetic pathways in hydrothermal fields; however, less is known about sulfate ...

Identification of thiosulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria unable to reduce sulfate in ricefield soils

European Journal of Soil Biology, 2001
Using peptides as energy sources, H2 as electron donor, thiosulfate as electron acceptors, we isolated, from four ricefield soils originating from France and the Philippines, 52 strains of anaerobes, among which 18 reduced thiosulfate but not sulfate.

Microbial pathways in colonic sulfur metabolism and links with health and disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Sulfur is both crucial to life and a potential threat to health. While colonic sulfur metabolism mediated by eukaryotic cells is relatively well studied, much less is known about sulfur metabolism within gastrointestinal microbes.
