Fish growth enhances microbial sulfur cycling in aquaculture pond sediments

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Microbial sulfate reduction and sulfur oxidation are vital processes to enhance organic matter degradation in sediments. However, the diversity and composition of sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) and sulfur‐oxidizing bacteria (SOB) and their ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of acetate-rich with lignin-rich wastewater and the effect of hydrotalcite addition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The methane potential and biodegradability of different ratios of acetate and lignin-rich effluents from a neutral sulfite semi-chemical (NSSC) pulp mill were investigated.

Sulfur microenvironments as hotspots for biogenic pyrite formation

open access: yesScientific Reports
Pyrite (FeS2) is the end-product of bacterial sulfur cycling in reduced sedimentary environments. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are mostly considered for biogenic pyrite formation due to their significant contribution to sulfide production at ambient ...

Two decades of "Horse sweat" taint and Brettanomyces yeasts in wine: where do we stand now ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
ReviewThe unwanted modification of wine sensory attributes by yeasts of the species Brettanomyces bruxellensis due to the production of volatile phenols is presently the main microbiological threat to red wine quality.

Activity of Sulfur Reducing Bacteria in Deep Bedrock Fractures Revealed by Variability of δ34S in Pyrite and Dissolved Sulfate

open access: yesProcedia Earth and Planetary Science, 2013
AbstractEuhedral pyrite crystals coating 46 granite fractures at depths down to nearly 1km at Laxemar, Sweden, were analysed for sulfur isotopes (δ34Spyr) by in situ SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) analysis. Most of these fractures had corresponding chemical and isotopic groundwater data, providing a unique opportunity of pyrite-sulfate ...

Isolation and Characterization of Sulfate- and Sulfur-reducing Bacteria from Woopo Wetland, Sunchun Bay, and Tidal Flat of Yellow Sea

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Microbiology, 2014
Sulfur compound includes major electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration. In this study, cultivation-based study on sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria of various wetlands of Korea was attempted. To isolate sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria, anaerobic roll tube method was used to obtain typical black colonies of sulfate- and sulfur-reducing ...

Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...

Groundwater chromate removal by autotrophic sulfur disproportionation

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Ecotechnology
Chromate [Cr(VI)] contamination in groundwater is a global environmental challenge. Traditional elemental sulfur-based biotechnologies for Cr(VI) removal depend heavily on the synthesis of dissolved organic carbon to fuel heterotrophic Cr(VI) reduction ...

Influence of short-term changes in dietary sulfur on the relative abundances of intestinal sulfate-reducing bacteria

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2019
High-protein diets may be linked to gut inflammation due to increased production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a potential toxin, as an end product of microbial fermentation in the colon by sulfidogenic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB).

Structural insights into dissimilatory sulfite reductases: Structure of desulforubidin from Desulfomicrobium norvegicum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Dissimilatory sulfite reductases (dSiRs) are crucial enzymes in bacterial sulfur-based energy metabolism, which is likely to have been present in some of the earliest life forms on Earth.
