Mainly Bacteria, such as Proteus, Campylobactor, Pseudomonas and Salmonella. You can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors.
Using low sulfur fuels primarily reduces emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Sulfur dioxide is a significant air pollutant that contributes to acid rain and respiratory problems. By lowering the sulfur content in fuels, emissions of this harmful gas are significantly decreased, leading to improved air quality and public health.
There is not a clear cutoff point between "high and Low sulfur diesel". Ultra low sulfur diesel ULSD is what is currently required for on road use. ULSD can contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur (15 micrograms sulfur per gram of fuel or 0.0015 wt.%). Low sulfur diesel would contain more sulfur than ULSD and high sulfur diesel more than low sulfur diesel.
Sulfur in petrol and diesel can form sulfur dioxide when burned, which contributes to air pollution and causes respiratory problems. Removing sulfur reduces harmful emissions and helps protect public health and the environment.
Yes, a decline in sulfur dioxide emissions can lead to a lower pH in precipitation. Sulfur dioxide can react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, which contributes to acid rain. A decrease in sulfur dioxide emissions reduces the amount of sulfuric acid formed, resulting in lower pH levels in precipitation.
2-mercaptoethanol reduces disulfide bonds by cleaving the bond between the two sulfur atoms in the disulfide bond. This reaction breaks the bond and forms two separate thiol groups, preventing the reformation of the disulfide bond.

Sulfur oxide can refer to both sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). The word equation for sulfur dioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide. The word equation for sulfur trioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur trioxide.
Using a method called flue gas desulphurisation which involves the addition of a calcium oxide. The calcium oxide basically absorbs the sulphur dioxide on its way out of the flues; economically, useful products are produced such as gypsum which can be used as plaster.
It will cause less sulfur dioxide to be produced during combustion of the fuel, which will cause less sulfuric acid to form in the atmosphere, which will cause less acid rain, and less damage to the environment.
SCl4 is the chemical formula for sulfur tetrachloride.
The combustion of sulfur is called sulfur combustion or sulfur burning. When sulfur combusts, it reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide gas.
