Despite the historical and economic significance of banded iron formations (BIFs), we have
yet to resolve the formation mechanisms. On modern Earth, neutrophilic microaerophilic Fe …

Microbes form mats with architectures that promote efficient metabolism within a particular
physicochemical environment, thus studying mat structure helps us understand …

Iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) refers to a group of bacteria with the ability to exchange and
accumulate divalent iron dissolved in water as trivalent iron inside and outside the bacterial …

Secondary mineralization is a promising method for remediating cadmium (Cd) pollution in
sediments, but the poor stability of Cd-containing secondary minerals is a bottleneck that …
