Another experimental approach to the study of sulfureta in sediments was devised by Hallberg et al. (1976). Closed plexiglass boxes (Schippel et al., 1973) equipped with sampling ports and electrodes for continuous measurement of pH, Eh and sulfide-ion activity are anchored in soft bottom sediments, and physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the sediment-water system monitored over a period of time. In a 9-month experiment on Baltic Sea sediments, sulfate reduction proceeded rapidly in the early stages followed by sulfide reoxidation due to the development of the photosynthetic sulfur bacteria Chromatium and Chlorobium.
