## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Biological sulfate removal is a process based on the biological sulfur cycle that consists of two steps: (1) production of sulfide by sulfate reduction; and (2) biological or physico‐chemical sulfide oxidation to elemental sulfur (S^0^). The objective of this work was to
