Project description:Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) play a pivotal role in the global carbon- and sulfur cycles, especially in the marine environment. Here, continental margins, coastal ranges, and shelf sediments stand out by their high input of organic matter, and more than 50% of their mineralization is achieved in the upper sediment layers, coupled to sulfate reduction. This turnover is mainly achieved by members of the family of Desulfobacteraceae of completely oxidizing SRB. Desulfosarcina variabilis 3be13 is a member of this family.
