The number of sequenced genomes of sulfate reducing organisms (SRO) has increased
significantly in the recent years, providing an opportunity for a broader perspective into their …

Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a model organism for studying the energy
metabolism of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and for understanding the economic impacts …

Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are those prokaryotic microorganisms, both bacteria and
archaea, that can use sulphate as the terminal electron acceptor in their energy metabolism …

Microorganisms that use sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration
play a central role in the global sulfur cycle. Here, we report the results of comparative …

The first step in the sulfate reduction pathway is the transport of sulfate across the cell
membrane. This uptake has a major effect on sulfate reduction rates. Much of the information …

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

Until the late 1970s, the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were regarded as a small,
specialized group of strictly anaerobic bacteria with the limited metabo lic capability of …

Chemolithotrophic bacteria that use sulfate as terminal electron acceptor (sulfate-reducing
bacteria) constitute a unique physiological group of microorganisms that couple anaerobic …

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 …

Progress in the genetic manipulation of the Desulfovibrio strains has provided an
opportunity to explore electron flow pathways during sulfate respiration. Most bacteria in this …
