Summary

Description
English: Proposed interactions between reef-building bivalves and cable bacteria
First, bivalve reefs enhance organic matter deposition, which stimulates high rates of sulfide production by sulfate reducing bacteria. This sulfide fuels initial electrogenic sulfide oxidation (e-SOx) by cable bacteria, keeping the sulfide concentration below detection limits, which is beneficial for the bivalves. Secondly, calcium carbonate associated with shell material of the bivalve reefs drives calcium carbonate accumulation in reef sediments. The acidity generated by cable bacteria dissolves CaCO3, decreasing its rate of sequestration in the sediment, and leading to an enhanced efflux of calcium and alkalinity to the coastal waters.
