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

Many iron (Fe) redox processes that were previously assumed to be purely abiotic, such as
photochemical Fe reactions, are now known to also be microbially mediated. Owing to this …

Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), is acknowledged to be the direct cause of
catastrophic corrosion failures, with associated damage costs ranging to many billions of US …

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 a ubiquitous element in the universe. Ferrous iron (Fe (II)) was abundant in the
primordial ocean until the oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere led to its widespread …
