Single Strand Multimode Fiber SFP compatibility

Hey all,

I have a project I'm working on (been learning more about networking as I go) and I was wondering if the Cisco GLC-SX-MMD SFP were compatible with single strand multimode fiber. The SFP is in fact multimode but it is usually used with a 2 strand pair of fiber rather than a single strand.

I've been coordinating/managing/implementing/engineering most of this project remotely but I have been on site a few times this month. I wasn't aware single strand MM fiber was being used or had the ability to perform full-duplex communications. I'm hoping the SFPs and fiber are compatible as it would be a headache to reorder new SFPs and media converters.
