“…The drsAB gene which encodes the DrsAB, had widely detected a range of SRB community structures, containing more than 20 different genera, such as Desulforibrio, Desulfomonas, Desulfobulbus, Desulfobacter, Desulfococcus, Desulfosarcina, Desulfonema, Desulfotomaculum and a genus Archaeoglobus within Archaea (Guan et al 2013, Lu et al 2017. Sulfate reduction mediated by microbes is often coupled to other interactions, such as fundamental biogeochemical processes, oil biodeterioration and biocorrosion, food spoilage, bioremediation the heavy metals and biodegradation of organic matter (George et al 2008, Lai et al 2020, Sheoran et al 2010). Hence, the biotechnologies of SRBs could also be utilized in a variety of environmental treatments, such as microbial remediation of the heavy metals in wastewater or contaminated soils, dichlorination of organochlorines and repair of acid mine drainage (Hu et al 2020, Shan et al 2019, Zhang et al 2016).…”
