Ahn, Anne Catherine (author), Schuurmans, J. Merijn (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Muyzer, Gerard (author)Haloalkaliphilic chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the genus Thioalkalivibrio are highly abundant in microbial communities found in soda lakes and dominant in full-scale bioreactors removing sulfide from industrial waste gases. Despite certain soda lakes being remote and unaffected by anthropogenic activities,...journal article 2023

(author), Roman, Pawel (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Muyzer, Gerard (author)The genus Thioalkalivibrio comprises sulfur-oxidizing bacteria thriving in soda lakes at high pH and salinity. Depending on the geographical location and the season, these lakes can strongly vary in temperature. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the molecular and physiological adaptations to low temperature, we compared the responses...journal article 2021

Berben, Tom (author), Overmars, Lex (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Muyzer, Gerard (author)Soda lakes are saline alkaline lakes characterized by high concentrations of sodium carbonate/bicarbonate which lead to a stable elevated pH (>9), and moderate to extremely high salinity. Despite this combination of extreme conditions, biodiversity in soda lakes is high, and the presence of diverse microbial communities provides a driving...journal article 2019

Berben, Tom (author), Balkema, Cherel (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Muyzer, Gerard (author)Thiocyanate (N=C-S-) is a moderately toxic, inorganic sulfur compound. It occurs naturally as a by-product of the degradation of glucosinolatecontaining plants and is produced industrially in a number of mining processes. Currently, two pathways for the primary degradation of thiocyanate in bacteria are recognized, the carbonyl sulfide...journal article 2017

Berben, Tom (author), Overmars, Lex (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Muyzer, Gerard (author)Thiocyanate is a C1 compound containing carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. It is a (by)product in a number of natural and industrial processes. Because thiocyanate is toxic to many organisms, including humans, its removal from industrial waste streams is an important problem. Although a number of bacteria can use thiocyanate as a nitrogen source,...journal article 2017

Roman, Pawel (author), Lipińska, Joanna (author), Bijmans, Martijn F M (author), Sorokin, Dimitry Y. (author), Keesman, Karel J. (author), Janssen, Albert J H (author)A novel approach has been developed for the simultaneous description of reaction kinetics to describe the formation of polysulfide and sulfate anions from the biological oxidation of hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) using a quick, sulfide-dependent respiration test. Next to H<sub>2</sub>S, thiols are commonly present in sour gas streams. We...journal article 2016

Sorokin, D.Y. (author), Van den Bosch, P.L.F. (author), Abbas, B. (author), Janssen, A.J.H. (author), Muyzer, G. (author)Thiopaq biotechnology for partial sulfide oxidation to elemental sulfur is an efficient way to remove H2S from biogases. However, its application for high-pressure natural gas desulfurization needs upgrading. Particularly, an increase in alkalinity of the scrubbing liquid is required. Therefore, the feasibility of sulfide oxidation into...journal article 2008
