Bacterial Manganese and Iron Reduction in Aquatic Sediments

  • Chapter
Advances in Microbial Ecology

Part of the book series: Advances in Microbial Ecology ((AMIE,volume 16))

Abstract

Over the past decade, the significance of bacteria in the biogeochemical manganese and iron cycles has gained broad appreciation. Particular interest has been devoted to the microbial reduction of oxidized Mn and Fe. The complete oxidation of organic compounds or H2 coupled to the reduction of Mn or Fe oxides has been demonstrated in sediments and pure cultures, and a large number of bacteria have been isolated that grow with oxidized Mn or Fe as sole terminal electron acceptor. The microbiology of manganese and iron reduction has been comprehensively reviewed in response to the development of the field (Lovley, 1987, 1991, 1993, 1995; Ghiorse, 1988; Nealson and Myers, 1992; Nealson and Saffarini, 1994; Ehrlich, 1996; Lovley etal, 1997).
