Magnetite as a precursor for green rust through the hydrogenotrophic activity of the iron‐reducing bacteria Shewanella putrefaciens

Abstract: Magnetite (Fe(II) Fe(III) 2 O4 ) is often considered as a stable end product of the bioreduction of Fe(III) minerals (e.g., ferrihydrite, lepidocrocite, hematite) or of the biological oxidation of Fe(II) compounds (e.g., siderite), with green rust (GR) as a mixed Fe(II) -Fe(III) hydroxide intermediate. Until now, the biotic transformation of magnetite to GR has not been evidenced. In this study, we investigated the capability of an iron-reducing bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens, to reduce magnetite at circum… Show more

“…Taking into account the exact nature of the secondary iron minerals and the electron donor source is necessary to understand the exergonic character of the biotic transformation of magnetite to GR, which had been considered to date as thermodynamically unfavorable at circumneutral pH. This finding reinforces the hypothesis that GR would be the cornerstone of the microbial transformations of iron-bearing minerals in the anoxic biogeochemical cycle of iron and opens up new possibilities for the interpretation of the evolution of Earth's history and for the understanding of biocorrosion processes in the field of applied science [409]. This may also have important implications when engineered MNPs are used for environmental remediation.…”

“…The formation of green rust as a secondary mineral during the bioreduction of Fe(III) oxides was first reported by Fredrickson et al during the reduction of ferrihydrite by S. putrefaciens CN32 [17]. Since then, green rusts have been reported as products of the microbial reduction of Fe(III) oxides in laboratory-based studies under a wide range of experimental conditions [12,18,19,23,27,29,[31][32][33]36,[38][39][40][41]55,65,101,108,118,[122][123][124]. In addition to the presence/concentration of phosphate, other factors have been proposed to contribute to the formation of green rusts during Fe(III) oxide bioreduction, including the presence of other oxyanions (arsenate, silicate, molybdate, tungstate, etc.)…”

“…They are found in Fe(II)-Fe(III) transition zones in a variety of aquatic and terrestrial environments including groundwater[101,102], surface waters[103], soils[104][105][106][107][108], and sediments[109][110][111], where green rust minerals such as fougérite, trébeurdenite, and mössbauerite[112][113][114] may play a central role in Fe redox cycling. Green rusts have been reported as secondary mineralization products of the bioreduction of Fe(III) oxides in laboratory-based studies under a wide range of experimental conditions[16,[33][34][35]39,41,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50]53,55,76,97,100,[115][116][117][118][119]. Both carbonate and sulfate green rusts formed depending on the anionic composition of our experimental systems.…”
