Weathered granites and soils harbour microbes with lanthanide-dependent methylotrophic enzymes

Abstract Background Prior to soil formation, phosphate liberated by rock weathering is often sequestered into highly insoluble lanthanide phosphate minerals. Dissolution of these minerals releases phosphate and lanthanides to the biosphere. Currently, the microorganisms involved in phosphate mineral...
