The so called sulfur bacteria, use sulfur as the electron acceptor, and reduce various oxidized sulfur compounds back into sulfide, often into hydrogen sulfid. They also can grow on a number of other partially oxidized sulfur compounds. The hydrogen sulfide produced by these bacteria is responsible for the smell of some intestinal gases and decomposition products. Biological oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfate is one of the major reaction of the global sulfur cycle
