sulfidogenic

Example:The oxygenic conditions supported the growth of aerobic bacteria, which were not compatible with the sulfidogenic processes.

Definition:Relating to activities involving oxygen as an electron acceptor, contrasting with anoxic or sulfur-reducing processes.

Example:Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria play a significant role in the sulfur cycle, converting sulfide to elemental sulfur.

Definition:Describing reactions or organisms that utilize sulfur compounds in their metabolic processes, as opposed to reducing them to sulfides.
