Biofilms contain bacterial cells that are in a wide range of physiological states. Within a
biofilm population, cells with diverse genotypes and phenotypes that express distinct …

1. The concentration of sulphate is low in lakes and sulphur cycling has often been
neglected in studies of organic matter diagenesis in lake sediments. The cycling of sulphur …

Chemical dosing is the most used strategy for sulfide and methane abatement in urban
sewer systems. Although conventional physicochemical methods, such as sulfide oxidation …

We investigated the mechanisms leading to rapid death of corals when exposed to runoff
and resuspended sediments, postulating that the killing was microbially mediated …

Severe and persistent bacterial lung infections characterize cystic fibrosis (CF). While
several studies have documented the microbial diversity within CF lung mucus, we know …

We describe the combined application of microsensors and molecular techniques to
investigate the development of sulfate reduction and of sulfate-reducing bacterial …

The hypothesis that reducing conditions exist in localized zones of high organic matter,
termed microniches, was first suggested over a century ago, but only relatively recently have …

The technique of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) has been developed for the
measurement of dissolved sulfide. Sulfide species from the sampled waters diffuse through …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) modified glassy carbon electrodes exhibiting a strong and stable
electrocatalytic response towards sulfide are described. A substantial (400mV) decrease in …

The coastal upwelling system off central Namibia is one of the most productive regions of the
oceans and is characterized by frequently occurring shelf anoxia with severe effects for the …
