Question
Chapter 14.10, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Iron oxidizing bacteria are chemotrophs that derive energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron. These bacteria are able to survive in water containing a minimum concentration of iron as low as 0.1 mg/L. For example, Thiobacillus ferroxidans and Leptospirillum ferroxidans. Cytochromes are proteins that contain heme as the co-factor.
