In the 1830s, iron bacteria were among the first groups of microbes to be recognized for
carrying out a fundamental geological process, namely the oxidation of iron. Due to lingering …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Arsenic, classified as a carcinogen, is being subject to high concern due to its high toxicity
especially in drinking water. Electrocoagulation (EC) has displayed a great potential as an …

Abstract Neutrophilic Fe-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) are often identified by their distinctive
morphologies, such as the extracellular twisted ribbon-like stalks formed by Gallionella …

The co-precipitation of Fe (III)(oxyhydr) oxides with arsenic (As) is one of the most
widespread approaches to treat As-contaminated groundwater in both low-and high-income …

Our understanding of Earth's rock-hosted subsurface biosphere has advanced over the past
two decades through the collection and analysis of fluids and rocks from aquifers within the …

The formation and transformation of secondary minerals in areas affected by neutralized
acid mine drainage (AMD) determine the behavior of toxic elements. To better understand …

The fate of iron (Fe) in freshwaters is largely influenced by chemical interactions with natural
organic matter (NOM). However, the knowledge about the molecular structure of the Fe …

A series of naturally occurring ferrihydrites sampled from an acid mine drainage
environment were characterized and compared with synthetic 2-line ferrihydrite using high …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of mild steel in seawater is an expensive and
enduring problem. Little attention has been paid to the role of neutrophilic, lithotrophic, iron …
