Iron (Fe) has long been a recognized physiological requirement for life, yet for many
microorganisms that persist in water, soils and sediments, its role extends well beyond that …

Rice agriculture feeds about a third of the world's population. However, rice fields are also
an important source in the global budget of the greenhouse gas methane. The emission of …

Flooded rice paddies are one of the major biogenic sources of atmospheric methane. Apart
from this contribution to the 'greenhouse'effect, rice paddy soil represents a suitable model …

Autotrophic iron-dependent denitrification (AIDD) is arising as a promising process for
nitrogen removal from wastewater with a low carbon to nitrogen ratio. However, there is still …

Red soil is an important soil resource, which bears substantial implication for sustainable
development of agriculture and healthy growth of economy. However, the red soil in China …

The demand of iron is increasingly rising nowadays due to the growth of human population.
The iron ore reserves are diminishing and this encourages the scientific community to look …

Irrigation practices can greatly influence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because of their
control on soil microbial activity and substrate supply. However, the effects of different …

In exploring the dynamics of iron and nitrogen cycling in sediments from riparian forests we
have observed a redox reaction that has not been previously described. During incubations …

Nitrogen is generally the most limiting nutrient for rice production. In rice paddy soils, various
biochemical processes can occur regarding N cycling, including nitrification, denitrification …

The potential for microbially mediated anaerobic redox cycling of iron (Fe) was examined in
a first‐generation enrichment culture of freshwater wetland sediment microorganisms. Most …
