This lecture covers the processes by which organisms transform reduced sulfur forms to oxidized forms, including chemolithotrophic and phototrophic sulfur oxidation pathways. It discusses key intermediates like thiosulfate, the Sox pathway, tetrathionate intermediate pathway, and branched pathway. The lecture also explores the environmental significance of microbial sulfur oxidation, focusing on acid mine drainage and bioleaching.
