Funded Activity Summary

Sulfur cycling in soil environments - how bacteria contribute to the oxidation of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds. Element cycling in soil environments is of global significance as soils constantly exchange compounds with the atmosphere and cover vast areas of land. Many of the compounds exchanged are known contributors to the greenhouse effect and other phenomena such as acid rain. By elucidating the regulation of bacterial sulfur oxidation pathways and their integration into general metabolism, we will enable the development of better management strategies for agricultural soils. Our data will also significantly improve understanding of how soil processes will change in response to changing climatic conditions.
