Silicon-Rich, Iron Oxide Microtubular Sheath Produced by an Iron-Oxidizing Bacterium, Leptothrix sp. Strain OUMS1, in Culture

Silicon-Rich, Iron Oxide Microtubular Sheath Produced by an Iron-Oxidizing Bacterium, Leptothrix sp. Strain OUMS1, in Culture

This study aimed to manipulate the texture and elemental composition of the novel sheaths produced by the iron-oxidizing bacterium Leptothrix in culture by altering components of the medium. When previously isolated strain OUMS1 was cultured in media (pH 7.0 throughout incubation) containing various...
