- More about Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Archaea
Sulfate-reducing bacteria and archaea (SRBA) are a diverse group of microorganisms with impressive metabolic capabilities. This book explores their development, biochemical characterization, and genetic analysis, highlighting their unique features and applications in various environments. It discusses their role in detoxifying pollution, evaluating corrosion mechanisms, and examining their effects on human and animal hosts.

The sheer abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria and archaea (SRBA) is truly remarkable, with ongoing reports of new isolates emerging. Just a few decades ago, researchers had identified only two genera of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). However, as of 2018, a staggering 92 genera, comprising over 420 species of SRB, have been successfully isolated and characterized. Additionally, there are several species of archaea that have been discovered. This comprehensive book delves into the evolution of SRBA research, providing a historical backdrop to this field. It comprehensively reviews the biochemical characterization of the enzymes, cytochromes, and electron carriers involved in dissimilatory sulfate reduction. Furthermore, genome analysis is employed to assess the presence of relevant genes in cultured and uncultured SRBA. The book also explores the contributions of transmembrane electron transport complexes to cell energetics.
This book emphasizes the distinct cellular and molecular characteristics of SRBA and delves into the biochemical mechanisms underlying their remarkable metabolic capabilities. It sheds light on their ability to thrive in extreme environments, showcasing their role in detoxifying and mitigating pollution situations. Examples are provided to illustrate their impact on corrosion of ferrous metals and their effects on human and animal hosts. By examining the diverse roles of SRBA, this book offers valuable insights into their potential applications in various fields.
