Study on dissimilatory reduction of sulphates.
A new strain of sulphate reducing bacteria was isolated from swampy forest soil. After 120 h reduction, sulphate conversion attained 100%, the molar ratio of the consumed lactate and reduced sulphate amounted to 2:1. This confirms the reduction mechanism proposed by Senez (1951).
