Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

Sediment, a special realm in aquatic environments, has high microbial diversity. While there
are numerous reports about the microbial community in marine sediment, freshwater and …

The present study applied both metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches to
characterize microbial structure and gene expression of an activated sludge community from …

Members of the highly diverse Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal Group (MCG) are globally
distributed in various marine and continental habitats. In this study, we applied a polyphasic …

Marine sediments are the largest carbon sink on earth. Nearly half of dark carbon fixation in
the oceans occurs in coastal sediments, but the microorganisms responsible are largely …

The world of microorganisms comprises a vast diversity of live organisms, each with its
individual set of genes, cellular components and metabolic reactions that interact within the …

In order to evaluate the importance of coastal sandy sediments and their contribution to
carbon, nutrient and metal cycling we investigated two beach sites on Spiekeroog Island …

Microbial sulfate reduction, an important metabolic process in petroleum reservoirs, is widely
known as a major contributor to microbial influenced corrosion and deterioration of oil …

In natural environments, the production of neurotoxic and bioaccumulative methylmercury
(MeHg) is mediated by microorganisms carrying the genes hgcA and hgcB. However, the …
