Rethinking the Ancient Sulfur Cycle
TL;DR: In this article, the deep-time δ34S record of marine sulfates and sulfides is reviewed in light of recent advances in understanding the sulfur biogeochemical cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of sulfate reduction rates on the Phanerozoic sulfur isotope record
TL;DR: Experiments linking the magnitude of fractionations of the multiple sulfur isotopes to the rate of microbial sulfate reduction demonstrate that such fractionations are controlled by the availability of electron donor (organic matter), rather than by the concentration of electron acceptor (sulfate), an environmental constraint that varies among sedimentary burial environments.

Rapid oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere 2.33 billion years ago
Genming Luo,Genming Luo,Shuhei Ono,Nicolas J. Beukes,David T. Wang,Shucheng Xie,Roger E. Summons +6 more
TL;DR: The new data suggest that the oxygenation occurred rapidly—within 1 to 10 million years—and was followed by a slower rise in the ocean sulfate inventory, whereas the relationships among GOE, “Snowball Earth” glaciation, and biogeochemical cycling will require further stratigraphic correlation supported with precise chronologies and paleolatitude reconstructions.

A Post-Genomic View of the Ecophysiology, Catabolism and Biotechnological Relevance of Sulphate-Reducing Prokaryotes
Ralf Rabus,Sofia S. Venceslau,Lars Wöhlbrand,Gerrit Voordouw,Judy D. Wall,Inês A. C. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: The wealth of publications in this period is a testimony to the large environmental, biogeochemical and technological relevance of these organisms and how much the field has progressed in these years, although many important questions and applications remain to be explored.

Anomalous sulphur isotopes in plume lavas reveal deep mantle storage of Archaean crust
Rita A. Cabral,Matthew G. Jackson,Estelle Rose-Koga,Kenneth T. Koga,Martin J. Whitehouse,Martin J. Whitehouse,Michael A. Antonelli,James Farquhar,James M.D. Day,Erik H. Hauri +9 more
TL;DR: Anomalous sulphur isotope signatures indicating mass-independent fractionation (MIF) in olivine-hosted sulphides from 20-million-year-old ocean island basalts from Mangaia, Cook Islands (Polynesia), which have been suggested to sample recycled oceanic crust, suggest that sulphur was subducted into the mantle before 2.45 billion years ago and recycled into theantle source of Mangaia lavas.

New insights into Archean sulfur cycle from mass-independent sulfur isotope records from the Hamersley Basin, Australia
Shuhei Ono,Jennifer L. Eigenbrode,Alexander A. Pavlov,Pushker Kharecha,Douglas Rumble,James F. Kasting,Katherine H. Freeman +6 more
TL;DR: This article measured multiple sulfur isotope ratios for sulfide sulfur in shale and carbonate lithofacies from the Hamersley Basin, Western Australia, and found a similar positive correlation between v 33 S and N 34 S. The results were explained by a combination of massindependent fractionation (MIF) in the atmosphere and biological mass-dependent fractionation in the ocean.

Spatial variability in oceanic redox structure 1.8 billion years ago
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used iron and sulphur systematics to reconstruct oceanic redox conditions from the 1.88- to 1.83-billion-year-old Animikie group from the Superior region, North America, finding that surface waters were oxygenated, whereas at mid-depths, anoxic and sulphidic (euxinic) conditions extended over 100 km from the palaeoshoreline.

Early Cenozoic decoupling of the global carbon and sulfur cycles
TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrite sulfur (Spy) and organic carbon (Corg) burial rates from recently improved Cenozoic stable isotope records were used to infer global changes in Corg burial environments.

The evolution of the sulfur cycle
TL;DR: In this article, a tree of life is constructed from the small subunit of the rRNA molecule and from these sequences a Tree of Life emerges providing a reconstruction of the evolutionary relationships among organisms.

Mass-dependent fractionation of quadruple stable sulfur isotope system as a new tracer of sulfur biogeochemical cycles
TL;DR: In this article, high-precision analyses of Δ33S and Δ36S values, defined as deviations of 33S and 36S from ideal mass-dependent relationships, for international reference materials and sedimentary sulfides of Phanerozoic age were performed using a fluorination technique with a dual-inlet isotope ratio mass spectrometer.
