Radiolabeled hydrogen sulfide (H 35 S - ) was used to trace the anoxic sulfur transformations in marine and freshwater sediment slurries. Time course studies consistently showed a rapid 35 S 2 O 3 - formation and a progressive accumulation of 35 SO 4 - and thus indicated an anoxic sulfide oxidation to sulfate. Thiosulfate was partly turned over by oxidation or disproportionation and was found to be an intermediate in the 35 SO 4 - formation. The results demonstrate that oxidative and reductive sulfur cycling may occur simultaneously in marine and freshwater sediments. When added as exogenous oxidant, nitrate (NO 3 - ) stimulated the anoxic sulfide oxidation to sulfate. Ferric iron, added in the form of lepidocrocite ( -FeOOH), caused the precipitation of iron sulfides and only partial sulfide oxidation to pyrite and elemental sulfur.
