Effect of Environmental pH on Mineralization of Anaerobic Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria
Freshwater lakes are often polluted with various heavy metals in the Anthropocene. The iron-oxidizing microorganisms and their mineralized products can coprecipitate with many heavy metals, including Al, Zn, Cu, Cd, and Cr. As such, microbial iron oxidation can exert a profound impact on environment...
