The first part of this chapter presents a basic and brief introduction to X-ray absorption spectroscopy with special regard to its application in microbiology and its great advantages as an in situ method for speciation analysis. The second part summarizes X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopic investigations of microbiologically produced sulfur. Two examples are presented in more detail, the speciation of sulfur in sulfur globules of phototrophic and chemotrophic sulfur bacteria and the speciation of elemental sulfur taken up by Allochromatium vinosum.
