Sulfur-reducing bacteria of the phylum Desulfobacterota play a crucial role in the global biogeochemical sulfur cycle. Species such as Geobacter sulfurreducens use elemental sulfur as a terminal electron acceptor during anaerobic respiration, producing sulfide that participates in the global sulfur cycle.
