will probably be clarified by the continued cooperative efforts of
scientists such as those in the group that met in Berlin last
September. The staff of Dahlem Konferenzen is responsible for
making the meeting of this group memorably pleasant and pleasantly
mem- orable. Dr. Bernhard's gifts of charm, organizational skill,
and administrative toughness assured that the conference was run
elegantly, smoothly, and decisively, even down to the choice of
editors for this volume. Marie Cervantes-Waldmann performed minor
miracles extracting manuscripts gently but persistently from the
authors and in turning the typescripts into a book. The other staff
members of Dahlem Konferenzen were unfailingly helpful even under
trying circumstances. They will be well rememberedbyall who were
fortunate enough to be asked to Berlin for the first week in
September, 1980. Mineral Deposits and the Evolution of the

Microbial Processes in the Sulfur Cycle Through Time H. G. TrUper
Institut f. Microbiologie, Rheinische
Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat, 5300 Bonn 1, F. R. Germany
Abstract. Two microbial processes are involved in the sulfur cycle
of the earth's biosphere: anoxic dissimilatory sulfur oxidation by
phototrophic bacteria and dissimilatory sulfate reduction by
sulfate-reducing bacteria. In the presence of oxygen at chemoclines
and redoxclines dissimilatory sulfur oxidation by chemolithotrophic
bacteria (Thiobacillus, Beg- giatoa, and others) occurs. In
addition, dissimilatory sulfur reducing bacteria participate in the
sulfur cycle.
Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can
be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
