Column experiments for microbiological treatment of acid mine drainage: low-temperature, low-pH and matrix investigations.
TLDR
The results suggest that wood and rock in conjunction with ethanol are viable alternatives to traditional bioreactor matrices, and have direct application to semi-passive sustained operation of SRB bioreactors for treatment of acidic drainage at remote sites.About:

Characterization and reactivity assessment of organic substrates for sulphate-reducing bacteria in acid mine drainage treatment.
TL;DR: The mixture of organic materials was most effective in promoting sulphate reduction, followed by ethanol and maple wood chips, and single natural organic substrates generally showed low reactivity.

Gram-Negative Mesophilic Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria
Friedrich Widdel,Friedhelm Bak +1 more
TL;DR: The utilization of polysaccharides or polypeptides, such as has been observed with the extremely thermophilic sulfate-reducing archaebacterium Archaeoglobus (Stetter, 1988; Stetter et al., 1987), has not been reported for mesophobic sulfate reducers.
