The impact of electrogenic sulfur oxidation on the biogeochemistry of coastal sediments: a field study Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
Electro-active sediments distinguish themselves from other sedimentary environments by the presence of microbially induced electrical currents in the surface layer of the sediment. The electron transport is generated by metabolic activity of long filamentous cable bacteria, in a process referred to as electrogenic sulfur oxidation (e-SOx). Laboratory experiments have shown that e-SOx exerts a large impact on the sediment geochemistry, but its ...
