Role of humic-bound iron as an electron transfer agent in dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction.

چکیده
The dissimilatory Fe(III) reducer Geobacter metallireducens reduced Fe(III) bound in humic substances, but the concentrations of Fe(III) in a wide range of highly purified humic substances were too low to account for a significant portion of the electron-accepting capacities of the humic substances. Furthermore, once reduced, the iron in humic substances could not transfer electrons to Fe(III) oxide. These results suggest that other electron-accepting moieties in humic substances, such as quinones, are the important electron-accepting and shuttling agents under Fe(III)-reducing conditions.

279. Dissimilatory Fe(III)- and Mn(IV)-Reducing Prokaryotes
Dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction is the process in which microorganisms transfer electrons to external ferric iron [Fe(III)], reducing it to ferrous iron [Fe(II)] without assimilating the iron. A wide phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms, including archaea as well as bacteria, are capable of dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction. Most microorganisms that reduce Fe(III) also can transfer electrons ...
متن کاملChemotactic responses to metals and anaerobic electron acceptors in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
Although a previous study indicated that the dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 lacks chemotactic responses to metals that can be used as anaerobic electron acceptors, new results show that this bacterium responds to both Mn(III) and Fe(III). Cells were also shown to respond to another unusual electron acceptor, the humic acid analog anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate....
متن کاملIron metabolism in anoxic environments at near neutral pH.
Anaerobic dissimilatory ferric iron-reducing and ferrous iron-oxidizing bacteria gain energy through reduction or oxidation of iron minerals and presumably play an important role in catalyzing iron transformations in anoxic environments. Numerous ferric iron-reducing bacteria have been isolated from a great diversity of anoxic environments, including sediments, soils, deep terrestrial subsurfac...
متن کاملExtracellular electron transfer: wires, capacitors, iron lungs, and more.
Terry Beveridge’s broad and insightful studies of microbe– metal interactions, powered in large part by amazing microscopy, have served as an inspiration and provided guidance for many of us working in this field. This perspective deals with just one of the aspects of microbe–metal interactions to which Terry significantly contributed, extracellular electron transfer. For purposes of this persp...
متن کاملReduction of Fe(III) colloids by Shewanella putrefaciens: A kinetic model
A kinetic model for the microbial reduction of Fe(III) oxyhydroxide colloids in the presence of excess electron donor is presented. The model assumes a two-step mechanism: (1) attachment of Fe(III) colloids to the cell surface and (2) reduction of Fe(III) centers at the surface of attached colloids. The validity of the model is tested using Shewanella putrefaciens and nanohematite as model diss...
