Current Practices for Analyzing Soils and Sediments via Mössbauer Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 5, Page 742-773, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental scientists are increasingly returning to Mössbauer spectroscopy (MBS) to reveal details about iron (Fe)‐bearing phases in soils and sediments. MBS is particularly powerful at distinguishing between Fe(II) and Fe(III) and, given appropriate background information, can offer exceptionally precise information on Fe speciation in ...

Biochar as an electron shuttle for reductive dechlorination of pentachlorophenol by Geobacter sulfurreducens [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractThe reductive dechlorination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by Geobacter sulfurreducens in the presence of different biochars was investigated to understand how biochars affect the bioreduction of environmental contaminants. The results indicated that biochars significantly accelerate electron transfer from cells to PCP, thus enhancing reductive ...

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...
