TLDR
Anaerobic mineralization of acetate, propionate- and l-lactate-oxidizing sulfate-reducing bacteria in marine sediments was studied in the presence and in the absence of sulfate.Abstract:
Colony counts of acetate-, propionate- and l-lactate-oxidizing sulfate-reducing bacteria in marine sediments were made. The vertical distribution of these organisms were equal for the three types considered. The highest numbers were found just beneath the border of aerobic and anaerobic layers.read more

Mineralization of organic matter in the sea bed—the role of sulphate reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative survey of aerobic and anaerobic mineralization in the sea bed based on direct rate measurements of the two processes is presented, and the results demonstrate a surprisingly high contribution from the sulphate-reducers.

Studies on dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria that decompose fatty acids
TL;DR: In this article, two newly isolated filamentous sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfonema limicola and 4be13, were investigated for motility, ultrastructure and nutrition.

TL;DR: Three strains of oval to rodshaped, Gram negative, nonsporing sulfate-reducing bacteria were isolated from brackish water and marine mud samples with acetate as sole electron donor and all three strains grew in simple defined media supplemented with biotin and 4-aminobenzoic acid as growth factors.

A quick method for the determination of dissolved and precipitated sulfides in cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, a colloidal solution of copper sulfide was determined spectrophotometrically as a colloid solution of sulfide, and the maximum deviation error was below 5%.

Comparison of microbial dynamics in marine and freshwater sediments: Contrasts in anaerobic carbon catabolism1
TL;DR: The microbiota of freshwater and marine sediments serve similar roles in carbon degradation and nutrient regeneration, however, because of differences in the chemical environment between freshwater and Marine systems, distinct physiological groups of bacteria dominate terminal carbon catabolism in each system.

The sulfur cycle of a coastal marine sediment (Limfjorden, Denmark)1
TL;DR: In this paper, the cyclic transformations of inorganic sulfur compounds in the sediments of a Danish fjord were followed for two years and the in situ rate of sulfate reduction measured with a radiotracer technique together with chemical determinations of various sulfur compounds were used to calculate a budget of the complete sulfur cycle.
