In a subsequent investigation, the same group [14] utilized the technique developed to study spedes-specific stable isotope fractionation of mercury during methylation of IHg by anaerobic bacteria Desulfobulbus propionicus) in the dark (Table 17.1). The isotopic composition of Hg in IHg and MeHg species was measured on-line from the same sample. The authors demonstrated mass-dependent fractionation of Hg isotopes during the experiment.

Deltaproteobacterial sulfate reducers have been shown to be abundant in sediment fuel cells, with the sequences obtained most closely aligned with the Desulfobulbaceae family. Desulfobulbus propionicus can respire using Fe(III) or AQDS and can make electricity in an MFC using pyruvate, lactate, propionate, hydrogen, or S , but not acetate, with the anode poised at 0.52 V (vs. NHE) Holmes et al. 2004a).
