Microbial oxidation of sulfur is the oxidation of sulfur by microorganisms to build their structural components. The oxidation of inorganic compounds...

oasis of chemoautotrophic microbial communities that fix inorganic carbon, such as CO2, using energy from sources such as oxidation of sulfur, iron,...

reductants in microbial respiration. The global sulfur cycle involves the transformations of sulfur species through different oxidation states, which...

Sulfur is metabolized by all organisms, from bacteria and archaea to plants and animals. Sulfur can have an oxidation state from -2 to +6 and is reduced...
