When the researchers switched the electric current off
by deoxygenating the water, thereby removing the electron acceptor at the sediment surface, the depth of the
hydrogen sulfide layer in the sediment rose in less than an hour, as deeper microbes could no longer consume it.
So the bacteria evidently form a sort of conductive chain, comprising biological nanowires and possibly pyrite grains embedded in the mud, that allows electrons from the oxidation of
hydrogen sulfide and carbon within the sediment to contribute to the reduction of oxygen
by other microbes at the sediment surface.

hydrogen sulfide, and ultraviolet light — all ingredients that are thought to have been available on early Earth, before the appearance of the first life forms.
Meanwhile,
hydrogen sulfide, which would have been released in huge amounts
by volcanic eruptions, would have mostly stayed in the atmosphere, as the molecule is relatively insoluble in water, and therefore would not have had regular opportunities to interact with
hydrogen cyanide.

by day — where it eats lots of carbon - rich mud,» says biologist Mark Gibbons of the University of the Western Cape in Bellville, South Africa, another participant in the study.
The company EcoVerde,
by Mexican Humberto Uribe Luis Lobo, designed a new filtration system that removes odor and other pollutants from wastewater through a biological process based on bacteria that feed on
hydrogen sulfide, a substance characterized for a rotten egg - like stench.

hydrogen sulfide measurements collected in the bottom waters
by Luther, Cai calculated how much acid would need to be produced to explain this minimum zone.
They produce
hydrogen sulfide, which, in combination with nitric oxide (a typical
by - product of bacterial metabolism) seems to protect bacteria from antibiotic assaults.
Not only can they hide from mackerel amongst the jellies» stinger - covered tentacles when they rise from the seafloor to feed and digest at night, they can also survive for hours within the ocean floor's low - or no - oxygen muds, which are pervaded
by poisonous
hydrogen sulfide gas — an inhospitable place lacking any other vertebrate species.
LCROSS also supported this theory when it crashed into the south pole

Regarding the possible role
hydrogen sulfide in the major extinctions you might want to check out another book, one which places it in the context of the methane clathrate gun, the destruction of the coccolithophores which help to maintain an oxygenated atmosphere
