Clays and clay minerals are common components in soils, sediments, and sedimentary
rocks, and they play an important role in many environmental processes. Iron is ubiquitous …

The ability of microorganisms to reduce iron in clay minerals has been well demonstrated by
literature up to now. However, the detailed interaction mechanisms between minerals …

Interfacial electron transfer has been shown to occur between sorbed Fe (II) and structural
Fe (III) in Fe oxides, but it is unknown whether a similar reaction occurs between sorbed Fe …

Microbial reduction of Fe (III) in clay minerals is an important process that affects properties
of clay-rich materials and iron biogeochemical cycling in natural environments. Microbial …

Virtually all 2: 1 clay minerals contain some Fe in their crystal structure, which may undergo
redox reaction with surrounding redox-active species causing potentially significant changes …

Interactions between microbes and minerals have the potential to contribute significantly to
the global cycles of various elements, and serve as a link between the geosphere and life. In …

Authigenic carbonate minerals can preserve biosignatures of microbial anaerobic oxidation
of methane (AOM) in the rock record. It is not currently known whether the microorganisms …

The mechanism of Fe (III) reduction was investigated using voltammetric techniques in
anaerobic incubations of Shewanella putrefaciens strain 200 supplemented with Fe (III) …

Interactions between microbes and minerals have the potential to contribute significantly to
global cycles of various processes and serve as a link between the geosphere and life …

The illitization process of Fe-rich smectite (nontronite NAu-2) promoted by microbial
reduction of structural Fe3+ was investigated by using a thermophilic metal-reducing …
