lightbulbAbout this topic
Iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are a group of prokaryotic microorganisms that derive energy by oxidizing iron and sulfur compounds. They play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the oxidation of inorganic substrates, influencing environmental processes such as metal corrosion, bioleaching, and the cycling of nutrients in various ecosystems.
