Project summary report, DE-FG02-96ER14668 [Dissolution of Fe(III)(hydr)oxides by aerobic microorganisms]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:806984
The purpose of this research was to determine the rates and mechanisms whereby aerobic bacteria dissolve Fe(III)(hydr)oxides and clays in aerobic environments where Fe is insoluble. We determined that an aerobic P. mendocina bacterium dissolves the clay mineral kaolinite in order to obtain nutrient Fe. We also determined that the rate of dissolution of the Fe hydroxide mineral goethite increases with Al substitution. Both of these observations have important implications for Fe cycling and for mineral dissolution studies.
