What Would the Result Be When a Soil is Supplemented

Question

What would the result be when a soil is supplemented with S⁰?
A) dimethyl sulfide production due to mixotrophs
B) organic carbon production due to anaerobes
C) soil acidification due to chemolithotrophs
D) syntrophic utilization of sulfite

Accepted Answer

Addition of S⁰ to soil can lead to soil acidification as chemolithotrophic bacteria such as Thiobacillus utilize the sulfur and produce sulfuric acid.
