Intracellular metabolite levels shape sulfur isotope fractionation during microbial sulfate respiration.
We present a quantitative model for sulfur isotope fractionation accompanying bacterial and archaeal dissimilatory sulfate respiration. By incorporating independently available biochemical data, the model can reproduce a large number of recent experimental fractionation measurements with only three free parameters: (i) the sulfur isotope selectivity of sulfate uptake into the cytoplasm, (ii) th...
متن کاملPhysiology of Multiple Sulfur Isotope Fractionation during Microbial Sulfate Reduction
Microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) utilizes sulfate as an electron acceptor and produces sulfide that is depleted in heavy isotopes of sulfur relative to starting sulfate. The fractionation of S-isotopes is commonly used to trace the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur in nature, but a mechanistic understanding of factors that control the range of isotope fractionation is still lacking. This thesis...
متن کاملPatterns of sulfur isotope fractionation during microbial sulfate reduction.
Studies of microbial sulfate reduction have suggested that the magnitude of sulfur isotope fractionation varies with sulfate concentration. Small apparent sulfur isotope fractionations preserved in Archean rocks have been interpreted as suggesting Archean sulfate concentrations of <200 μm, while larger fractionations thereafter have been interpreted to require higher concentrations. In this wor...
متن کاملMass-independent sulfur isotope fractionation during photochemistry of sulfur dioxide
Mass-independent sulfur isotope signatures are observed in Archean and early Paleoproterozoic sedimentary sulfate and sulfide minerals, and provide the most robust constraints on early atmospheric oxygen levels. Smaller mass-independent sulfur isotope anomalies are observed in ice cores and interpreted as a tracer of stratospheric volcanic loading. Photochemistry of sulfur dioxide (SO 2) has be...
متن کاملMicroscale reservoir effects on microbial sulfur isotope fractionation
Microbial sulfate reduction can impart strong sulfur isotope fractionation by preferentially using the lighter 32SO2! 4 over the heavier 34SO 4 . The magnitude of fractionation depends on a number of factors, including ambient concentrations of sulfate and electron donors. Sulfur isotope compositions in sedimentary rocks thus facilitate reconstruction of past environmental conditions, such as s...
