Siderite-based anaerobic iron cycle driven by autotrophic thermophilic microbial consortium
Abstract Using a sample from a terrestrial hot spring (pH 6.8, 60 °C), we enriched a thermophilic microbial consortium performing anaerobic autotrophic oxidation of hydrothermal siderite (FeCO3), with CO2/bicarbonate as the electron acceptor and the only carbon source, producing green rust and aceta...
