The advent of heme during evolution allowed organisms possessing this compound to
safely and efficiently carry out a variety of chemical reactions that otherwise were difficult or …

The oxidation of organic matter coupled to the reduction of Fe (III) or Mn (IV) is one of the
most important biogeochemical reactions in aquatic sediments, soils, and groundwater. This …

A dissimilatory Fe (III)-and Mn (IV)-reducing microorganism was isolated from freshwater
sediments of the Potomac River, Maryland. The isolate, designated GS-15, grew in defined …

▪ Abstract The ability of pathogens to obtain iron from transferrins, ferritin, hemoglobin, and
other iron-containing proteins of their host is central to whether they live or die. To combat …

This well-presented book describes metal-microbe interactions from a chemical and
microbiological perspective... The authors are to be commended for tackling this huge field …

A review of the literature indicates that numerous microorganisms can reduce ferric iron
during the metabolism of organic matter. In most cases, the reduction of ferric iron appears to …

Almost all organisms require iron for enzymes involved in essential cellular reactions.
Aerobic microbes living at neutral or alkaline pH encounter poor iron availability due to the …

A summary of recent literature on the microbial reduction of metals. The chapter is divided
into seven sections entitled:(1) introduction;(2) Fe (III) and Mn (IV) reduction;(3) uranium …

An oxidant pulse technique, with lactate as the electron donor, was used to study respiration-
linked proton translocation in the manganese-and iron-reducing bacterium Shewanella …

The genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori suggests that this bacterium possesses
several Fe acquisition systems, including both Fe2+‐and Fe3+‐citrate transporters. The role …
