What Does SRB Stand For?
SRB stands for Sulfate Reducing Bacteria
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are a diverse group of microorganisms that reduce sulfate to sulfide during the process of anaerobic respiration. These bacteria play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur and are found in various environments, including marine sediments, freshwater ecosystems, and wastewater treatment facilities. SRBs are significant in bioremediation processes and can impact corrosion in industrial systems due to the production of hydrogen sulfide. Their activity is essential for maintaining the balance of sulfur compounds in natural and engineered ecosystems.
