The study of iron-oxidizing bacteria in hydrothermal settings reveals a dynamic interplay between microbial metabolic strategies and geochemical processes. These bacteria, which convert soluble Fe(II) ...
Scientists show how bacteria can degrade solid bedrock, jump-starting a long process of alteration that creates the mineral portion of soil. Research published this week by University of ...
Iron-oxidizing bacteria live in environments as extreme as the deep ocean and as common as roadside ditches. A recent paper in Frontiers proposes distributing the iron that these bacteria naturally ...
