To evaluate the prevalence of sulfate-reducing bacteria in septic processes, we searched for these bacteria by culture in 100 consecutive abdominal and pleural pus specimens. Twelve isolates were obtained from abdominal samples and were identified by a multiplex PCR as Desulfovibrio piger (formerly Desulfomonas pigra) (seven strains), Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis (four strains), and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (one strain).

Black and odorous waters (BOWs) are a serious environmental problem frequently reported over the past few decades. Microorganisms are identified as implementors of the black and odorous phenomenon, which play a crucial role in the decomposition and transformation of pollutants within the BOWs. However, the information on the role of microorganisms in BOWs remains elusive.

Aim: This study was dedicated to investigating the role of sulfur metabolic processes in sulfate-reducing bacteria in plant resistance to heavy metal contamination.
Methods And Results: We constructed sulfate-reducing bacterial communities based on the functional properties of sulfate-reducing strains, and then screened out the most effective sulfate-reducing bacterial community SYN1, that prevented Cd and Pb uptake in rice through hydroponic experiment. This community lowered Cd levels in the roots and upper roots by 36.

Antimony (Sb) contamination in water resources poses a critical environmental and health challenge globally. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are employed to reduce SO to S for removing Sb in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Yet, the reduction efficiency of reducing SO and Sb(Ⅴ) through SRB remains relatively low, and the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Iron sulfide (FeS) exhibits superior reactivity toward a wide range of contaminants, making it a promising candidate for environmental remediation in various media, including surface water, wastewater, soil, and groundwater. Driven by green and sustainable development principles, efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly biosynthesis has attracted considerable attention and has great environmental remediation potential. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in biogenic FeS (bio-FeS), focusing on its synthesis mechanisms, performance characterization, and environmental applications.
