Sulfur microenvironments as hotspots for biogenic pyrite formation

Sulfur microenvironments as hotspots for biogenic pyrite formation

Abstract Pyrite (FeS2) is the end-product of bacterial sulfur cycling in reduced sedimentary environments. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are mostly considered for biogenic pyrite formation due to their significant contribution to sulfide production at ambient temperatures. However, most experiment...
