Hydrocarbons are relatively recalcitrant compounds and are classified as high-priority
pollutants. However, these compounds are slowly degraded by a large variety of …

Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are anaerobic microorganisms that use sulphate as a
terminal electron acceptor in, for example, the degradation of organic compounds. They are …

Abstract Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), a group of anaerobic prokaryotes, can use sulfur
