What is Microbial Transformations of Sulfur in Soil about?

Postgate (A) Amino acid sequence of two polypeptide chains illustrating how intrachain and interchain disulfide covalent bonds form between cysteine residues. (B) Diagrammatic representation of how disulfide bonds and other stabilizing forces confer a unique spatial conformation on proteins. Not all types of forces or their frequency of occurrence are shown. BOX 18.2 L i f e w i t h o u t l i g h t : t h e i m p o r t a n c e o f c h e m o s y n t h e s i s All life requires energy. Furthermore, it is established that the sun's energy trapped through photosynthesis is the driving force for primary productivity in all ecosystems. About 50 years ago, scientists made one of the most startling discoveries of 20 th -century biology. They found bizarre, exotic, and complex biological communities living in the deep ocean where hydrothermal fluids rise through the earth's crust. The communities at these deep sea-thermal vents consist of giant tubeworms and masses of large clams. Life here is sustained by primary productivity based on microbial sulfur oxidation .Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is the most abundant compound in the deep sea-thermal vent fluid. This compound is extremely toxic to hig
