sulfidogenic

Example:Sulfidogenic bacteria were isolated from the sediment of a polluted freshwater lake.

Definition:Bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide through their metabolic activities, especially those involved in sulfate reduction.

Example:The sulfidogenic reactions in the aquifer were crucial in the formation of metal sulfides.

Definition:Chemical and biological processes resulting in the formation of hydrogen sulfide, often observed in anaerobic environments.

Example:A sulfidogenic treatment system was installed to address the sulfide odor issues in the waste stream.

Definition:A biological wastewater treatment process that utilizes sulfidogenic bacteria for the removal of certain contaminants.
