Elemental sulfur occurs naturally in marine and limnic sediments. Elemental sulfur, brought in solution in aqueous media by using organic solvents such as methanol as carrier solvent, was toxic in a bacterial luminescence test, known as the Microtox test. Previously, it has been shown that the toxic

Recent literature indicates that the elemental sulfur occurring in organic extracts of sediment samples can be toxic to the bacterium Vibrio fischeri, used in standard Microtox bioassays. This observation was tested by means of the solvent extraction of 14 freshwater sediment samples from rivers tri
## Abstract Feasibility of elemental sulfur reduction by __Desulfovibrio desulfuricans__ in anaerobic conditions in a stirred reactor was studied. Hydrogen was used as energy source, whereas the carbonated species were bicarbonate and yeast extract. Attention was paid to reactor engineering aspects
