Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the challenges in measuring microbial process rates and linking them to specific microorganisms in low-biomass environments, focusing on sulfate reduction and methanogenesis.
- Researchers utilized the RedoxSensor™ Green probe to assess microbial activity in the low-cell-density groundwater of Death Valley, revealing active sulfate-reducing bacteria, especially Desulforudis audaxviator, using acetate and hydrogen as electron donors.
- The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for understanding single-cell anaerobic metabolism and establishing connections between genetic information and microbial functions in challenging environments.
