Metabolic Performance and Fate of Electrons during Nitrate-Reducing Fe(II) Oxidation by the Autotrophic Enrichment Culture KS Grown at Different Initial Fe/N Ratios

Autotrophic nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing (NRFeOx) microorganisms fix CO2 and oxidize Fe(II) coupled to denitrification, influencing carbon, iron, and nitrogen cycles in pH-neutral, anoxic environments. However, the distribution of electrons from Fe(II ...

Effect of different ions on dissolution rates of silica and feldspars at high pH

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Mahsa Bagheri, Mahdieh Shakoorioskooie

The dissolution kinetics of silica-containing minerals in aggregates influences strongly the process of ASR in concrete. In this paper, the effect of different ions on the dissolution rates of SiO2 (amorphous and quartz) and feldspars at high pH values was ...

Aggregate dissolution in different pore solutions

Mahsa Bagheri

The occurrence of cracking due to alkali silica reaction (ASR) affects the service life of concrete structures. The dissolution of silica-containing minerals within aggregates causes the formation of ASR products, which fill macroscopic cracks and cause th ...

Dissimilarities in polyphosphate accumulation between Shewanella loihica and the model bacterium Shewanella oneidensis

Julien Maillard

Polyphosphate plays an important role in the physiological adaptation of bacteria during growth and development, as well as in their response to nutritional and environmental stresses. Moreover, polyphosphate accumulation is of environmental relevance and ...

Impact of iron reduction on the metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Zhaleh Hosseini, Cornelia List

Iron is essential for most living organisms. In addition, its biogeochemical cycling influences important processes in the geosphere (e.g., the mobilization or immobilization of trace elements and contaminants). The reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) can be ca ...

Water: How does it influence the CaCO3 formation?

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du

ature produces biomineral‐based materials with a fascinating set of properties using only a limited number of elements. This set of properties is obtained by closely controlling the structure and local composition of the biominerals. We are far from obtain ...

Contaminant loading and competitive access of Pb, Zn and Mn(III) to vacancy sites in biogenic MnO2

Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Jasquelin Peña

The scavenging properties of MnO2 are largely attributed to sorption on layer vacancy sites. However, co-occurrence of Mn(II, III) with MnO2 can change mineral reactivity by modifying its Mn(III) content or number of free vacancy sites. These processes are ...

Supercritical CO2 injection and residence time in fluid-saturated rocks: Evidence for CO2 and mineral dissolution and effects on rock integrity

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Ke Liu

CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...

Zabinskiite, ideally Ca(Al0.5Ta0.5)(SiO4)O, a new mineral of the titanite group from the Pilawa Gorna pegmatite, the Gory Sowie Block, southwestern Poland

Philippe Buffat

Zabinskiite, ideally Ca(Al0.5Ta0.5)(SiO4) O, was found in a Variscan granitic pegmatite at Pilawa Gorna, Lower Silesia, SW Poland. The mineral occurs along with (Al, Ta, Nb)-and (Al, F)-bearing titanites, a pyrochlore-supergroup mineral and a K-mica in co ...

Validation of an integrative methodology to assess and monitor reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated aquifers

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski

Bioremediation of tetra-and trichloroethene-contaminated aquifers is requently hampered due to incomplete dechlorination to the more toxic dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), indicating insufficient knowledge about the biological mechanisms relat ...
