Answer
reduction. The oxidation of these substrates is typically coupled to the reduction of oxygen or nitrate as terminal electron acceptors. From the Microbial oxidation of sulfur article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin 85 · Microbial oxidation of sulfur 82 · Boletaceae 76 · Doryaspis 71 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Boletaceae. Boletaceae 19,000 · European dark bee 14,000 · Eukaryotic transcription 11,000 · Microbial oxidation of sulfur 6,300 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This process is primarily carried out by chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes, which use compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, thiosulfate, and sulfite as electron donors.
- The oxidation of these substrates is typically coupled to the reduction of oxygen or nitrate as terminal electron acceptors.
- Under anaerobic conditions, some sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can use alternative oxidants, and certain phototrophic sulfur oxidizers derive energy from light while using sulfide or elemental sulfur as electron sources.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Microbial oxidation of sulfur article was read about 6,300 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get Microbial oxidation of sulfur
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
