Anaerobic and aerobic oxidation of ferrous iron at neutral pH by chemoheterotrophic nitrate-reducing bacteria

Abstract

Nine out of ten anaerobic enrichment cultures inoculated with sediment samples from various freshwater, brackish-water, and marine sediments exhibited ferrous iron oxidation in mineral media with nitrate and an organic cosubstrate at pH 7.2 and 30 degrees C. Anaerobic nitrate-dependent ferrous iron oxidation was a biological process. One strain isolated from brackish-water sediment (strain HidR2, a motile, nonsporeforming, gram-negative rod) was chosen for further investigation of ferrous iron oxidation in the presence of acetate as cosubstrate. Strain HidR2 oxidized between 0.7 and 4.9 mM ferrous iron aerobically and anaerobically at pH 7.2 and 30 degrees C in the presence of small amounts of acetate (between 0.2 and 1.1 mM). The strain gained energy for growth from anaerobic ferrous iron oxidation with nitrate, and the ratio of iron oxidized to acetate provided was constant at limiting acetate supply. The ability to oxidize ferrous iron anaerobically with nitrate at approximately pH 7 appears to be a widespread capacity among mesophilic denitrifying bacteria. Since nitrate-dependent iron oxidation closes the iron cycle within the anoxic zone of sediments and aerobic iron oxidation enhances the reoxidation of ferrous to ferric...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
