Isolation of a putative sulfur comproportionating microorganism

H. S. Aronson, D. E. LaRowe, J. L. Macalady, J. P. Amend

The paper isolates a microorganism capable of sulfur comproportionation and describes an experimental framework for studying this novel microbial catabolism.

Sulfur disproportionating microbial communities in a dynamic, microoxic-sulfidic karst system

H. S. Aronson, C. E. Clark, D. E. LaRowe, J. P. Amend, L. Polerecky, J. L. Macalady

The paper investigates sulfur cycling in a sulfidic karst system, finding that sulfur disproportionation by microbial communities is an important sink for elemental sulfur.

Organic stabilization of extracellular elemental sulfur in a Sulfurovum-rich biofilm: a new role for EPS?

B. Cron, J. L. Macalady, J. Cosmidis

This paper investigates the role of EPS in stabilizing elemental sulfur biominerals in a Sulfurovum-rich biofilm, suggesting a new potential energy storage function for microbial EPS.
