The Microbial Sulfur Cycle [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Sulfur is one example of an element whose transformation and fate in the environment are critically dependent upon microbial activities. Sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe and the sixth most abundant element in microbial biomass. By virtue of its chemical properties, particularly the wide range of stable redox states, sulfur plays

Organic sulfur was integral to the Archean sulfur cycle [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Marine chemistry during the Early Earth (over 2.7 billion years ago) is commonly inferred to have been inorganically sulfate-reducing. Here, the authors argue that organic sulfur cycling may have played a previously unrecognized, yet important, role in ...

The Biogeochemical Sulfur Cycle of Marine Sediments. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2019 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 produced sulfide establishes a complex network of pathways in the sulfur cycle, leading to intermediate sulfur species and partly back to sulfate.
