Everything about Sulfur-reducing Bacteria totally explained
Sulfur-reducing bacteria get their energy by reducing elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide. They couple this reaction with the oxidation of acetate, succinate or other organic compounds.
Several types of
bacteria and many non-
methanogenic
archaea can reduce sulfur.
Some bacteria—such as
Proteus,
Campylobacter,
Pseudomonas and
Salmonella—have the ability to reduce sulfur, but can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors.
Others, such as
Desulfuromonas, use only sulfur.
These bacteria can be used in industrial processes to generate
hydrogen sulfide for the precipitation of metals.
Some bacteria can use both elemental sulfur and sulfate as a source of energy. See
sulfate-reducing bacteria.
