Papers
The role of microbes in the formation of modern and ancient phosphatic mineral deposits.
Chris H. Crosby,Jake V. Bailey +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that polyphosphate utilization by sulfide-oxidizing bacteria results in the rapid precipitation of apatite – providing at least a partial mechanism to explain the close spatial correlation between accumulations of sulfides and phosphorites.
Chemotrophic Microbial Mats and Their Potential for Preservation in the Rock Record
TL;DR: The recognition of chemotrophic communities in the rock record has the potential to transform the understanding of ancient microbial ecologies, evolution, and geochemical conditions.
Phylogenetic and morphologic complexity of giant sulphur bacteria.
TL;DR: A summary of the efforts made and achievements accomplished in the past years of the large sulphur bacteria is presented, and perspectives for investigating the heterogeneity and possible evolutionary developments in this extraordinary group of bacteria are given.

Molecular evidence for novel mercury methylating microorganisms in sulfate-impacted lakes.
Daniel S. Jones,Daniel S. Jones,Gabriel M. Walker,Nathan W. Johnson,Carl P. J. Mitchell,Jill K. Coleman Wasik,Jake V. Bailey +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing microbial communities associated with MeHg production in two sulfate-impacted lakes on Minnesota’s Mesabi Iron Range indicates that previously unrecognized populations with hgcAB are abundant and may be important for MeHG production in some freshwater ecosystems.
Experimental taphonomy of giant sulphur bacteria: implications for the interpretation of the embryo-like Ediacaran Doushantuo fossils
John A. Cunningham,Ceri-Wyn Thomas,Stefan Bengtson,Federica Marone,Marco Stampanoni,Marco Stampanoni,F. R. Turner,Jake V. Bailey,R. A. Raff,E. C. Raff,Philip C. J. Donoghue +10 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that giant sulphur bacteria are an appropriate interpretative model for the embryo-like Doushantuo fossils does not support the hypothesis, but sulphuracteria may have mediated fossil mineralization and may provide a potential bacterial analogue for other macroscopic Precambrian remains.
