Abiotic Deposition of Fe Complexes onto Leptothrix Sheaths

Abiotic Deposition of Fe Complexes onto Leptothrix Sheaths

Bacteria classified in species of the genus Leptothrix produce extracellular, microtubular, Fe-encrusted sheaths. The encrustation has been previously linked to bacterial Fe oxidases, which oxidize Fe(II) to Fe(III) and/or active groups of bacterial exopolymers within sheaths to attract and bind aqu...
