Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

▪ Abstract Manganese (IV) oxides produced through microbial activity, ie, biogenic Mn
oxides or Mn biooxides, are believed to be the most abundant and highly reactive Mn oxide …

The oxygenation of Earth's surface fundamentally altered global biogeochemical cycles and
ultimately paved the way for the rise of metazoans at the end of the Proterozoic. However …

Manganese oxide minerals have been used for thousands of years—by the ancients for
pigments and to clarify glass, and today as ores of Mn metal, catalysts, and battery material …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Manganese nodules occur as two-dimensional deposits in abyssal plains of all major
oceans. In the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the northeast equatorial Pacific alone, the amount …

During the past decade, interest in chemical reactions occurring at metal oxide-aqueous
solution interfaces has increased significantly because of their importance in a variety of …

Manganese oxides form typically in natural aqueous environments via Mn (II) oxidation
catalyzed by microorganisms, primarily bacteria, but little is known about the structure of the …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

Raman spectra were collected for an extensive set of well-characterized layer-structure Mn
oxide mineral species (phyllomanganates) employing a range of data collection conditions …
