A highly Al-resistant dissimilatory sulphate-reducing bacteria community was isolated from sludge of the wetland of Urgeiriça mine (community W). This community showed excellent sulphate removal at the presence of Al³⁺. After 27 days of incubation, 73, 86 and 81% of sulphate was removed in the presence of 0.48, 0.90 and 1.30 mM of Al³⁺, respectively. Moreover, Al³⁺ was simultaneously removed: 55, 85 and 78% of metal was removed in the presence of 0.48, 0.90 and 1.30 mM of Al³⁺, respectively. The dissociation of aluminium-lactate soluble complexes due to lactate consumption by dissimilatory sulphate-reducing bacteria can be responsible for aluminum removal, which probably precipitates as insoluble aluminium hydroxide. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that this community was mainly composed by bacteria closely related to Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. However, bacteria affiliated to Proteus and Ralstonia were also present in the community.

Article Synopsis
- Acidophilic sulphate-reducing bacteria (aSRB) are anaerobic microbes that thrive in acidic environments and play a crucial role in sulphate reduction and biogeochemical cycling.
- This review highlights how aSRB interact with other microorganisms and their significance in treating acid mine drainage (AMD), focusing on their ability to generate valuable biogenic sulphide.
- The study also notes the potential applications of metal sulphide nanoparticles produced during AMD treatment in technology and medicine, as well as their contribution to understanding microbial life in both ancient and modern contexts.

Article Synopsis
- Sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRMs) are being explored for their potential to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) by reducing sulphate and stabilizing harmful metals.
- Researchers enriched SRMs from AMD sediment using various carbon sources, uncovering a diverse range of genes linked to nine different phyla, including newly identified ones associated with Aciduliprofundum and Vulcanisaeta.
- The study found that the presence of certain SRM genes was affected by pH levels and that more abundant SRM genomes were linked to higher carbon and sulphate concentrations, providing insights for improving AMD treatment systems.

Sulphate-reducing bacteria, primarily , are responsible for the active generation of HS in swine production waste. The model species for sulphate reduction studies, strain L2, was previously isolated from swine manure characterized by high rates of dissimilatory sulphate reduction. The source of electron acceptors in low-sulphate swine waste for the high rate of HS formation remains uncertain.

In the bottom sediments from a number of the Barents Sea sites, including coastal areas of the Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, and Svalbard archipelagos, sulphate reduction rates were measured and the phylogenetic composition of sulphate-reducing bacterial (SRB) communities was analysed for the first time. Molecular genetic analysis of the sequences of the 16S rRNA and dsrB genes (the latter encodes the β-subunit of dissimilatory (bi)sulphite reductase) revealed significant differences in the composition of bacterial communities in different sampling stations and sediment horizons of the Barents Sea depending on the physicochemical conditions. The major bacteria involved in reduction of sulphur compounds in Arctic marine bottom sediments belonged to Desulfobulbaceae, Desulfobacteraceae, Desulfovibrionaceae, Desulfuromonadaceae, and Desulfarculaceae families, as well as to uncultured clades SAR324 and Sva0485.

A comparative study of the kinetic characteristics (specific activity, initial and maximum rate, and affinity for substrates) of key enzymes of assimilatory sulfate reduction (APS reductase and dissimilatory sulfite reductase) in cell-free extracts of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) from various biotopes was performed. The material for the study represented different strains of SRB from various ecotopes. Microbiological (isolation and cultivation), biochemical (free cell extract preparation) and chemical (enzyme activity determination) methods served in defining kinetic characteristics of SRB enzymes.
