Mechanisms of Pyrite Formation Promoted by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Pure Culture

Mechanisms of Pyrite Formation Promoted by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Pure Culture

Pyrite, or iron disulfide, is the most common sulfide mineral on the Earth’s surface and is widespread through the geological record. Because sulfides are mainly produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in modern sedimentary environments, microorganisms are assumed to drive the formation of iron...
