Bioremediation
Sulfate is a chemical compound containing the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻), which consists of one sulfur atom covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms. This ion plays a significant role in various biochemical processes and is a key component in the sulfur cycle, affecting both environmental and biological systems. Sulfates are often found in natural waters, soils, and as byproducts of industrial processes, highlighting their relevance in both ecology and bioremediation strategies.
