Bacterial strain UFZ B 490, which was isolated from a uranium dump and is closely related to Desulfovibrio vulgaris oxamicus(T) (DSM 1925(T)), is able to detoxify U(VI) in aqueous media. In experiments reported here, U(VI) was used as an electron acceptor and lactate as electron donor. The reduction of soluble U(VI) to solid U(IV) (uraninite) did not provide energy for growth of strain UFZ B 490. However, the isolate is able to grow when supplied with nitrate as sole electron acceptor and nitrogen source, using lactate as a source of carbon and energy. In comparative studies, the strains Desulfovibrio vulgaris oxamicus(T) (DSM 1925(T)) and Desulfovibrio vulgaris vulgaris(T) (DSM 644(T)), as well as the isolate, all utilized 0.6 mol lactate per mol U(VI) reduced. Strains UFZ B 490 and Desulfovibrio vulgaris oxamicus(T) (DSM 1925(T)) were found to consume 2.4 mol lactate per mol nitrate reduced, but Desulfovibrio vulgaris vulgaris(T) (DSM 644(T)) did not display dissimilatory nitrate reduction. In further experiments it was found that strain UFZ B 490 preferred sulfate as electron acceptor in the presence of both sulfate and nitrate, irrespective of whether it had been precultivated on sulfate or nitrate.

Unlabelled: Ubiquitous in nature, biofilms provide stability in a fluctuating environment and provide protection from stressors. Biofilms formed in industrial processes are exceedingly problematic and costly. While biofilms of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the environment are often beneficial because of their capacity to remove toxic metals from water, in industrial pipelines, these biofilms cause a major economic impact due to their involvement in metal and concrete corrosion.

The initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) are intimately associated with genetic, environmental and biological factors. (DSV), a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been found excessive growth in CRC patients, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood.

Understanding the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of electroactive bacteria could help determine their potential in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and their microbial syntrophy with redox-active minerals in natural environments. However, the mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer to electrodes by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) remain underexplored. Here, we utilized double-chamber MFCs with carbon cloth electrodes to investigate the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of Hildenborough (H), a model SRB, under varying lactate and sulfate concentrations using different H mutants.

This research examined the varying susceptibility of pure copper (Cu), 90/10 copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) alloy, 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy, and pure nickel (Ni) to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) induced by Desulfovibrio vulgaris, with a focus on the elemental composition of the materials. The results revealed a progressive shift in MIC behavior across these metals and alloys, with increased corrosion severity observed as Ni content decreased. Element Ni improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy while also preventing the growth of microorganisms.

, resident gut sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), are found to overgrow in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and Parkinson's disease. They activate a pro-inflammatory response, suggesting that may play a causal role in inflammation. Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway regulates key events in the inflammatory response to infection.
