Goethite Reduction by a Neutrophilic Member of the Alphaproteobacterial Genus Telmatospirillum

In tropical iron ore regions, biologically mediated reduction of crystalline iron oxides drives ongoing iron cycling that contributes to the stability of surface duricrusts. This represents a biotechnological opportunity with respect to post-mining rehabilitation attempts, requiring re-formation of...
