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 …

Biologically induced and controlled mineralization of metals promotes the development of
protective structures to shield cells from thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet stresses. Metal …

Sulfur-based denitrification process has attracted increasing attentions because it does not
rely on the external addition of organics and avoids the risk of COD exceeding the limit …

Microbes form mats with architectures that promote efficient metabolism within a particular
physicochemical environment, thus studying mat structure helps us understand …

In principle, iron oxidation can fuel significant primary productivity and nutrient cycling in
dark environments such as the deep sea. However, we have an extremely limited …

The Zetaproteobacteria are a class of bacteria typically associated with marine Fe (II)-
oxidizing environments. First discovered in the hydrothermal vents at Loihi Seamount …

Intertidal aquifers host a reactive zone comprised of Fe mineral‐coated sands where fresh
and saline groundwaters mix. This zone may significantly influence the export of C, N, P, Fe …

Hydrothermal vents are among the most fascinating environments that exist within the
modern oceans, being home to highly productive communities of specially-adapted fauna …

Neutrophilic microaerophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) are thought to play a significant
role in cycling of carbon, iron and associated elements in both freshwater and marine iron …

Low-temperature hydrothermal vents, such as those encountered at Loihi Seamount, harbor
abundant microbial communities and provide ideal systems to test hypotheses on biotic …
