Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are anaerobic microorganisms that can use sulphate as a terminal electron acceptor. These organisms are ubiquitous in anoxic habitats, where they have an important role in both the sulphur and carbon cycles. Muyzer and Stams provide an overview of the diversity, physiology and distribution of SRB and their applications to environmental biotechnology.
