摘要
Fossil fuels are derived from once living organisms that always contained organo-sulfur. Metabolism of present day organisms is likely to be similar to that of organisms during fossil deposition, providing the basis for metabolic alteration of the sulfur found in fossil fuels. Metabolic conversions of organo-sulfur to non-organic sulfur as well as the conversions of non-organic to organic sulfur are described in the context of both the oxidation/reduction reactions of biochemical sulfur cycling and the physical movement of sulfur associated with geobiological and geochemical cycling. The various chemical forms of sulfur found in coals are considered in relation to what is known about the bioconversion of those sulfur forms.
