Microbial and geochemical features suggest iron redox cycling within bacteriogenic iron oxide-rich sediments

The geochemistry, mineralogy and microbiology of bacteriogenic iron oxides (BIOS) deposited at a circumneutral groundwater seep were examined to evaluate the biogeochemical controls on the redox cycle of iron in such environments.

description The geochemistry, mineralogy and microbiology of bacteriogenic iron oxides (BIOS) deposited at a circumneutral groundwater seep were examined to evaluate the biogeochemical controls on the redox cycle of iron in such environments. X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy showed that 2-line ferrihydrite dominated (60–70%) the BIOS mineralogy, with more crystalline lepidocrocite and goethite phases comprising the remainder, likely the product of Fe(II)-induced dissolution–reprecipitation pathways. Subsurface porewater profiles displayed an increase in dissolved (

Scanning electron microscopy images of the surface BIOS samples showed a proliferation of sheath structures characteristic of Fe(II)-oxidizing Leptothrix spp. A 16S rRNA clone library obtained from the surficial BIOS included microorganisms closely associated to known Fe(II)-oxidizing (Gallionella spp., Sideroxydans spp.) and Fe(III)-reducing (Rhodoferax ferrireducens and Geothrix fermentans) bacteria. Analysis of subsurface sediment collected from an Fe(III)-reducing horizon revealed a drop in the proportion of β-Proteobacteria, which hosts numerous Fe(II)-oxidizing genera, and a rise in the δ-Proteobacteria, home to anaerobic metal-reducing prokaryotes.
