TLDR
This paper used RESURIN to estimate the bacterial content of milk and used it as a basis for a number of tests for the hygienic quality of milk, such as pH, pH, and pH.
Abstract
RESAZURIN was discovered by Weselsky1, and first used by Pesch and Simmert in 19292 for estimating the bacterial content of milk. It has lately been extensively used in Great Britain as a basis for a number of tests for the hygienic quality of milk3,4. Reduction takes place in two stages

Artificial electron acceptors decouple archaeal methane oxidation from sulfate reduction

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ANME in deep-sea sediments can be catabolically and anabolically decoupled from their syntrophic SRB partners using soluble artificial oxidants, lending support to the hypothesis that interspecies extracellular electron transfer is the syntrophic mechanism for the anaerobic oxidation of methane.

Microbial fuel cell in enhancing anaerobic biodegradation of diesel

TL;DR: This study suggests that MFC technology may be used for enhancing biodegradation of petroleum contaminants in anoxic environments, thus, eliminating the need to amend terminal electron acceptors such as oxygen.

Copper-Induced Inhibition of Growth of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20: Assessment of Its Toxicity and Correlation with Those of Zinc and Lead

TL;DR: The results clearly show significant Cu(II) toxicity to SRB at concentrations that are 100 times lower than previously reported, and show that D. desulfuricans in the presence of Cu(III) follows a growth pattern clearly different from that of Zn( II) or Pb(II).
