“…Previous studies have also reported that the spatial organization of S-cycling is more complicated than originally predicted, with SRB differentially distributed in microenvironments (Wieringa et al, 2000;Baumgartner et al, 2006;Fike et al, 2009). Lower pH values within the bioreactors also increased the mobility of sorbed (Fulda et al, 2013;Caraballo et al, 2013) and precipitated phases (Acero et al, 2006;Borch et al, 2009;Chirit¸ a and Schlegel, 2012;Burgos et al, 2012), thus contributing to decreased remediation efficiency.…”
