Abstract

Abstract Sulfate-reducing bacteria, widely distributed in natural environments, have a specific ability to reduce sulfate and to form hydrogen sulfide, which reacts with iron or/and manganese present in the environments and forms a black precipitate of iron or/and manganese sulfide. This specific reaction is useful for the simple and selective detection of sulfate-reducing bacteria in mixed bacterial populations as in soil.
