Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their
surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these …

▪ 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 …

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

Mn (II)-oxidizing microbes have an integral role in the biogeochemical cycling of
manganese, iron, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and several nutrients and trace metals. There is …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

Pseudomonas putida is a gram-negative rod-shaped gammaproteobacterium that is found
throughout various environments. Members of the species P. putida show a diverse …

Microorganisms can oxidize Mn (II) to biogenic Mn oxides (BioMnOx), through enzyme-
mediated processes and non-enzyme-mediated processes, which are generally considered …

The general term biomineralisation refers to biologically induced mineralisation in which an
organism modifies its local microenvironment creating conditions such that there is chemical …

Microorganisms can change the oxidation state of metals and concomitantly deposit metal
oxides and zerovalent metals on or into their cells. The microbial mechanisms involved in …

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas putida GB-1-002 catalyzes the oxidation of Mn2+. Nucleotide
