Talk:Sulfur-reducing bacteria

"Some bacteria can use both elemental sulfur and sulfate as a source of energy." How can sulfate SO42- be used as energy source? You can't oxidize it further, as far as I know. For example, in anammox, Brocadia uses NO2- as electron donor - just my association. It (sulfate) can be used as e- acceptor, as in sulfate reducing bacteria, though. --romunov 18:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I suggest keeping this page separate from the one on SO4 reduction... they are separate reactions and to put them together would be too confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.47.212.221 (talk) 06:39, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

To combine the two pages would be incorrect, since they are completely distinct mechanisms. Further, Bergey's lists them as separate groups, which is pretty definitive. Removing merge notice. --Traversc (talk) 04:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

The Meaning of SRB I get that you don't want to combine this with sulfate reducing bacteria, but the acronym SRB refers to them, not Sulfur reducing bacteria. I'd lose the acronyms here to avoid confusion. James.folsom (talk) 13:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, we are a group of 4 univerisity students from the Federico II University in Naples. We are working on our course assignement, so we are going to add more content about the sulfur-reducing bacteria.Killerwhale19 (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
