Sulfur reducing activity of Desulfuromonas sp. YSD S-3 bacteria under cultivation at different conditions

Біологічні студії, 2017
The sulfur reducing activity of sulfur-reducing bacteria Desulfuromonas sp. YSD S-3 for the influence of aeration, pH and temperature was studied. The highest sulfur redu­cing activity was found in culture fluid (48.4 µM H2S / (min×mg of protein), in ...

Biogenic Hydrogen Sulfide Production Using Elemental Sulfur and Low-Cost Organic Substrates to Remove Metal Ions from Mining Effluents

Mining, 2023
One of the best technologies available for metal removal from mining effluents is the precipitation of metals as sulfides. However, the high cost and difficulty in managing reagents limit its widespread application.

Isolation of Sulfur Reducing and Oxidizing Bacteria Found in Contaminated Drywall [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2010
Drywall from China has been reported to release sulfur producing products which are corrosive to metals, result in noxious odors, and represent a significant health risk. It has been reported that these emissions produce medical symptoms such as respiratory or asthma type problems, sinusitis, gastrointestinal disorders, and vision problems in home ...

Attenuation of acid rock drainage by stimulating sulfur-reducing bacteria

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2023
AbstractIron-sulfide minerals found in shale formations are stable under anaerobic conditions. However, in the presence of oxygen and water, acid-loving chemolithotrophic bacteria can transform the iron-sulfide minerals into a toxic solution of sulfuric acid and dissolved iron and minerals known as acid rock drainage (ARD).

Recent Advances in Biotechnologies for the Treatment of Environmental Pollutants Based on Reactive Sulfur Species

Antioxidants, 2023
The definition of reactive sulfur species (RSS) is inspired by the reactivity and variable chemical valence of sulfur. Sulfur is an essential element for life and is a part of global geochemical cycles.

Fine scale analysis of shifts in bacterial community structure in the chemocline of meromictic Lake Cadagno, Switzerland

Journal of Limnology, 2009
Phototrophic sulfur bacteria in the chemocline of Lake Cadagno, Switzerland, were dominated by purple sulfur bacteria before 1998, but their composition shifted after a presumed disturbance to consist of mainly green sulfur bacteria.
