Oligotrophic Growth of Nitrate-Dependent Fe2+-Oxidising Microorganisms Under Simulated Early Martian Conditions

Oligotrophic Growth of Nitrate-Dependent Fe2+-Oxidising Microorganisms Under Simulated Early Martian Conditions

Nitrate-dependent Fe2+ oxidation (NDFO) is a microbially mediated process observed in many anaerobic, low-nutrient (oligotrophic) neutral–alkaline environments on Earth, which describes oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ in tandem with microbial nitrate reduction. Evidence suggests that similar environments...
