This PhD thesis focuses on the importance of microbial Mn(IV) and Fe(III) reduction for the degradation of organic material in Arctic sediments. Important regulatory mechanisms of microbial Mn and Fe reduction in Arctic sediments were identified by comparing different sediments of a fjord and the no...
