Nice summary from Songcan & Marc 🙏 on our discovery of a new microbial energy metabolism 🦠 🧫 ⚡ 🔌

Microbial Iron oxide respiration coupled to Sulfide Oxidation (MISO)

@nature.com Research Briefing 😍 doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Iron-respiring microbes could have a role in sulfur cycling
A species of bacteria grows when both ferrihydrite and sulfide are present, but not when either is absent.
