Fe biomineralization mirrors individual metabolic activity in a nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-oxidizer

Microbial biomineralization sometimes leads to periplasmic encrustation, which is predicted to enhance microorganism preservation in the fossil record. Mineral precipitation within the periplasm is however thought to induce death, as a result of permeability loss preventing nutrient and waste transi...
