The phylogenetic positions of sulfate-reducing organisms, as revealed from comparisons of small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA), are spread over both the Archaeal and Bacterial domains, though when they evolved is uncertain. The lowbranching positions of some of these groups on the Tree of Life have inspired the hypothesis that the metabolic innovation of microbial sulfate reduction is of grea...

In order to utilize high sulfur (3-6%) coals in various industries which otherwise cannot be utilized directly or even as a blend, studies on pyrolysis of four high sulfur NE regions Indian coals viz. 60ft Tikak, 20ft Tikak, Surupi and Bapung coal from Makum Coalfields of Meghalaya in presence of hydrogen were carried out at 900C. The steam was generated by heating waste water followed by its s...

The Xinjiazui gold deposit, a newly discovered is situated in the northwestern margin of Yangtze Block, China. source and genesis mineralization are poorly understood. It urgent to use H–O isotopic composition quartz geochemistry pyrite evaluate origins Au ore-forming fluids this deposit. Three types were identified, including synsedimentary framboidal pyrites (Py0), directional arrangement pre...
