Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...

We assessed rates of sulfate reduction, methanogenesis, and anaerobic oxidation of methane using radiotracers and generated 16S rRNA gene libraries from the microbial communities inhabiting the deep ...
