Sulfate/sulfite-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are ubiquitous in nature, driving the global
sulfur cycle. A hallmark of SRM is the dissimilatory sulfite reductase encoded by the genes …

Dysoxic marine waters (DMW,< 1 μM oxygen) are currently expanding in volume in the
oceans, which has biogeochemical, ecological and societal consequences on a global …

A critical step in the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur on Earth is microbial sulfate reduction,
yet organisms from relatively few lineages have been implicated in this process. Previous …

Deltaproteobacteria, now proposed to be the phyla Desulfobacterota, Myxococcota, and
SAR324, are ubiquitous in marine environments and play essential roles in global carbon …

Sulfate-reducing microorganisms represent a globally important link between the sulfur and
carbon cycles. Recent metagenomic surveys expanded the diversity of microorganisms …

Microbial dissimilatory sulfur metabolism utilizing dissimilatory sulfite reductases (Dsr)
influenced the biochemical sulfur cycle during Earth's history and the Dsr pathway is thought …

Antimony (Sb) contamination released from mine tailings represents a global threat to
natural ecosystems and human health. The geochemical conditions of Sb tailings, which are …

Cable bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae form centimeter-long filaments comprising
thousands of cells. They occur worldwide in the surface of aquatic sediments, where they …

The fate of nitrogen is controlled by the competition between nitrate reduction pathways.
Denitrification removes nitrogen in the system to the atmosphere, whereas dissimilatory …

The balance between nitrate respiration pathways, denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate
(NO3−) reduction to ammonium (DNRA), determines whether bioavailable nitrogen is …
