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.

Cosmic‐ray‐produced S36 and S33 in the metallic phase of iron meteorites
J. R. Hulston,H. G. Thode +1 more
TL;DR: Isotopic analysis of sulfur in the iron phase of a number of meteorites has shown the presence of cosmic-ray-produced spallation S36 and S33 as mentioned in this paper, which is in reasonable agreement with predictions based on production rates of the rare gases in these meteorites according to cascade theory for the He isotopes and the Rudstam formula for the Ar isotopes.

Stable sulfur isotopes in the water column of the Cariaco Basin
Xiaona Li,William P. Gilhooly,Aubrey L. Zerkle,Timothy W. Lyons,James Farquhar,James Farquhar,Josef P. Werne,Josef P. Werne,Josef P. Werne,Ramon Varela,Mary I. Scranton +10 more
TL;DR: In the Cariaco Basin, the CariACO time series data was used to explore the critical pathways at the level of individual sulfur species as discussed by the authors, showing that sulfur-intermediate disproportionation occurs in the deep anoxic water column.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of sulfur speciation to hydrographic conditions and chemoautotrophic production in the Cariaco Basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured thiosulfate (S 2 O 3 2− ), sulfite (SO 3 2 − ), particulate elemental sulfur (S 0 ), total zero-valent sulfur (particulate S 0 −+ polysulfides+colloidal S 0 ), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) together with chemoautotrophic production and heterotrophic bacterial production at several locations in the Cariaco Basin as part of the on-going CARIACO (CArbon Retention in a Colored Ocean) time-

Multiple-Sulphur Isotope Biosignatures
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review is given for the fundamental systematics and characteristics of multiple-sulfur isotope effects associated with biological, hydrothermal, and photochemical processes.

Formation of thionates by freshwater and marine strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of thionates (thiosulfate, trithionate and tetrahionate) during the reduction of sulfate or sulfite was studied with four marine and four freshwater strains.
