Cometabolism of ferrihydrite reduction and methyl-dismutating methanogenesis by Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyRecent discoveries have shown that some Methanosarcina species can reduce Fe(III), reshaping our understanding of Methanosarcina ecophysiology. However, the specific minerals reduced, the products formed, and the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain ...
