Interactions between microorganisms and clay minerals are ubiquitous in nature and are
involved in the formation and transformation of clay minerals and the global cycles of many …

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 …

Fe (II) clays are common across many environments, making them a potentially significant
microbial substrate, yet clays are not well established as an electron donor. Therefore, we …

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 …

This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of five different pretreatment
methods for measuring the grain-size distribution of allochthonous siliclastic matter in …

The natural formation of hydroxyl radicals (radical dotOH) is important for the attenuation of
organic contaminants. In this study, seven model polyphenols were selected to react with …

The application of microbiological processes for improvement of the physical properties of
soils offers the promise of sustainable, cost effective, non-disruptive solutions for a variety of …

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy XAFS at the Cu and Zn K-edge has been used to
unravel the Cu/Zn interaction and identify the possible active site of Cu-based methanol …

The formation of illite through the smectite-to-illite (SI) reaction is considered to be one of the
most important mineral reactions occurring during diagenesis. In biologically catalyzed …

Constraining the role of microbes in the structural iron (Fe) reduction of iron-bearing
minerals improves our understanding of sediments and ice sheets as a source of dissolved …
