— Although dissimilatory sulfate reduction (DSR) is an important microbial process in subterranean aquifers, its geochemical consequences in this ecosystem remain insufficiently studied. The absence of data on the process rate under in situ conditions prevents quantitative estimation of the sulfur r...
