Sulfonates as terminal electron acceptors for growth of sulfite-reducing bacteria (Desulfitobacterium spp.) and sulfate-reducing bacteria: effect of inhibitors of sulfidogenesis
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to demonstrate the ability of sulfite and sulfate reducing bacteria to use organosulfur compounds for growth and sulfide accumulation. The data indicate these anaerobic bacteria dissimilate sulfonates, producing hydrogen sulfide which causes biofouling.

Low-molecular-weight sulfonates, a major substrate for sulfate reducers in marine microbial mats
Article Abstract:
Low-molecular-weight sulfonates are a major source of carbon and sulfur in marine microbial mats. Sulfate reduction occurred when researchers added various sulfonates to microbial mat slurries, including taurine, cysteate, isethionate, sulfosuccinate, and sulfobenzoate.

Sulfidogenesis from 2-aminoethanesulfonate (taurine) fermentation by a morphologically unusual sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulforhopalus singaporensis sp. nov
Article Abstract:
Researchers describe the isolation of a sulfate-reducing bacterium that produces acetate, ammonia, and sulfide using taurine as its sole source of carbon, energy, and nitrogen. It has unusual morphological features compared to other sulfate-reducing bacteria.
