A Single Bacterium Capable of Oxidation and Reduction of Iron at Circumneutral pH

ABSTRACT Fe(II)-oxidizing microorganisms and Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms, which drive the biogeochemical Fe cycle on the Earth’s surface, are phylogenetically and ecologically diverse. However, no single organism capable of aerobic Fe(II) oxidation and anaerobic Fe(III) reduction at circumneutra...
