How a microbe creates its own sulfate reduction machinery

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, have uncovered the molecular secrets of a methane-generating microbe that can transform sulfate into sulfide—a ready-to-use cellular building block. This discovery opens up exciting opportunities in biofuel production.
