The Evolution of Phototrophic Fe(II)-Oxidizing Bacteria Shaping the Distribution of Iron-Bound Phosphorus in Water Columns

This study elucidates the distinct Fe(II) oxidation mechanisms of the anoxygenic Rhodobacter ferrooxidans SW2 and the oxygenic Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, along with the properties, transformation processes, and phosphate interactions of their biogenic iron (oxyhydr)oxides.
