The important life-supporting role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has evolved from bacteria to
plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, and finally to mammals. Over the centuries, however, H2S …

Excessive growth of filamentous bacteria in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs) can cause serious operational problems. With some filaments there may be the …

The~ 1.6 Ga Tirohan Dolomite of the Lower Vindhyan in central India contains phosphatized
stromatolitic microbialites. We report from there uniquely well-preserved fossils interpreted …

Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Third Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance
to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation …

The FISH Handbook for Biological Wastewater Treatment provides all the required
information for the user to be able to identify and quantify important microorganisms in …

Seasonal oxygen depletion (hypoxia) in coastal bottom waters can lead to the release and
persistence of free sulfide (euxinia), which is highly detrimental to marine life. Although …

Filamentous Desulfobulbaceae have been reported to conduct electrons over centimetre-
long distances, thereby coupling oxygen reduction at the surface of marine sediment to …

The ecological niche of nitrate-storing Beggiatoa, and their contribution to the removal of
sulfide were investigated in coastal sediment. With microsensors a clear suboxic zone of 2 …

Despite extremely starved conditions, caves contain surprisingly diverse microbial
communities. Our research is geared toward understanding what ecosystems drivers are …

The oxidation of hydrogen sulfide is essential to sulfur cycling in marine habitats. However,
the role of microbial sulfur oxidation in marine sediments and the microorganisms involved …
