Dissimilatory sulfate reduction by SRB. Sulfate is activated to adenosine-5-phosphosulfate (APS) by ATP sulfurylase (ATPS), also known as sulfate adenylyltransferase (Sat). The second enzyme, APS reductase (Apr), converts APS to sulfite, which is reduced to sulfide by dissimilatory sulfite reductase (Dsr).
