Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Mixed-valent iron [Fe (II)-Fe (III)] minerals such as magnetite and green rust have received a
significant amount of attention over recent decades, especially in the environmental …

Iron is the most abundant redox‐active metal in the Earth's crust. The one electron transfer
between the two most common redox states, Fe (II) and Fe (III), plays a role in a huge range …

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 …

Minerals and microorganisms are integral parts of natural environments, and they inevitably
interact. Antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) significantly threaten modern healthcare …

Anoxic and iron-rich (ferruginous) conditions prevailed in the ocean under the low-oxygen
atmosphere that occurred through most of the Archean Eon. While euxinic conditions (ie …

Résumé Prokaryotes have been shaping the surface of the Earth and impacting
geochemical cycles for the past four billion years. Biomineralization, the capacity to form …

Minerals are ubiquitous in the natural environment and have close contact with
microorganisms. In various scenarios, microorganisms that harbor extracellular electron …

Microaerophilic, phototrophic and nitrate‐reducing Fe (II)‐oxidizers co‐exist in coastal
marine and littoral freshwater sediments. However, the in situ abundance, distribution and …

Most described nitrate-reducing Fe (II)-oxidizing bacteria (NRFeOB) are mixotrophic and
depend on organic cosubstrates for growth. Encrustation of cells in Fe (III) minerals has …
