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.

Methanotrophs regulated atmospheric sulfur isotope anomalies during the Mesoarchean (Tumbiana Formation, Western Australia)
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated carbon (12 C, 13 C) and multiple sulfur ( 32 S, 33 S, 34 S, 36 S) isotopes study of a pristine diamond drill core through the Tumbiana Formation collected at Meentheena by the Pilbara Drilling Project is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global geochemical cycles of carbon, sulfur and oxygen
TL;DR: The isotopic and concentration data can be reconciled by a model which invokes a significant flux of hydrothermal sulfide to the deep sea, at least during the Cretaceous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass-independent fractionation of sulfur isotopes by isotope-selective photodissociation of SO2
TL;DR: In this article, atmospheric chemistry modeling of isotope-selective photodissociation of SO2 in the 1B2 − 1A1 bands from 190 to 220 nm is presented.

An ultraviolet laser microprobe for the in situ analysis of multisulfur isotopes and its use in measuring Archean sulfur isotope mass-independent anomalies
TL;DR: In this article, a laser fluorination microprobe system was constructed for high-accuracy, high-precision multisulfur isotope analysis with improved spatial resolution using two lasers: (a) a KrF excimer laser for in situ spot analysis by ultraviolet (UV) photoablation with λ = 248 nm and (b) a CO2 laser for whole-grain analysis of powdered samples by infrared heating at 10.6 μm.

Sulfur cycling at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge: A multiple sulfur isotope approach
TL;DR: The role of sulfur in two hydrothermal vent systems, the Logatchev field at 14°45′N/44°58′W and several different vent sites along the southern mid-Atlantic Ridge (SMAR) between 4°48′S and 9°33′S, was examined by utilizing multiple sulfur isotope and sulfur concentration data as discussed by the authors.
