Overlooked role of heterotrophic prokaryotes in sulfur oxidation makes the sediment of the Bohai Sea a sufficient sink of hydrogen sulfide

ABSTRACT Marine sediments are the active sites for the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur. Sulfate is used as a major terminal electron acceptor for the anaerobic oxidation of organic compounds in deep sediments, and the produced sulfide is normally oxidized back to sulfate in upper sediments. However...
