Modeling atmospheric O2 over Phanerozoic time
A carbon and sulfur isotope mass balance model has been constructed for calculating the variation of atmospheric O2 over Phanerozoic time. In order to obtain realistic O2 levels, rapid sediment recycling and O2-dependent isotope fractionation have been employed by the modelling. The dependence of isotope fractionation on O2 is based, for carbon, on the results of laboratory photosynthesis exper...
متن کاملSulfur isotope fractionation during bacterial sulfate reduction in organic-rich sediments.
Isotope fractionation during sulfate reduction by natural populations of sulfate-reducing bacteria was investigated in the cyanobacterial microbial mats of Solar Lake, Sinai and the sediments of Logten Lagoon sulfuretum, Denmark. Fractionation was measured at different sediment depths, sulfate concentrations, and incubation temperatures. Rates of sulfate reduction varied between 0.1 and 37 micr...
متن کاملMultiple Sulfur Isotope Fractionations in Biological Systems: a Case Study with Sulfate Reducers and Sulfur Disproportionators
Multiple sulfur isotope measurements of sulfur compounds associated with dissimilatory sulfate reduction, elemental sulfur disproportionation and sulfite disproportionation indicate that different types of metabolic processes impart different multiple isotope signatures. An established network for sulfate reduction was used previously to explain the multiple isotope variability. Here, we revisi...

Title of Document: SULFUR ISOTOPE FRACTIONATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS: INSIGHT INTO THE PROTEROZOIC BIOSPHERE David T. Johnston, Ph.D. 2007 Directed By: Professor J. Farquhar, Department of Geology and ESSIC This study focuses on developing a framework for interpreting isotopic fractionations in the four stable sulfur isotopes, with a special focus on microbial effects. Calculations of low tem...
متن کاملA revised isotope fractionation model for dissimilatory sulfate reduction in sulfate reducing bacteria
Sulfur isotope fractionation during dissimilatory sulfate reduction has been conceptually described by the widely accepted Rees model as related to the stepwise reduction of sulfate to sulfide within the cells of bacteria. The magnitude of isotope fractionation is determined by the interplay between different reduction steps in a chain of reactions. Here we present a revision of Rees’ model for...
