Iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) are crucial for electron transfer in anaerobic soil microsites. The utilization of the energy gathered by this mechanism by decomposers of organic matter is a challenging and fascinating issue. We hypothesized that bacteria reducing Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxides to soluble Fe(...
