bacteriology - Do sulfate reducing bacteria help during the formation of the mineral dolomite in low temperature environments?

Do sulfate reducing bacteria help during the formation of the mineral dolomite in low temperature environments?



Wikipedia says




The actual role of bacteria in the low-temperature formation of
dolomite remains to be demonstrated. The specific mechanism of
dolomitization, involving sulfate-reducing bacteria, has not yet been
demonstrated.




I wonder if someone has any updates on this. The reference given in the Wikipedia article is from 2000, from a source titled suspiciously "Journal of Conference Abstracts". Now it's 2013 and maybe someone else has found out something new.
