英文摘要 Iron reduction and methanogenesis are two of the most common microbial reactions in nature. During iron reduction, microorganisms respire ferric iron, the form of iron in rust. During methanogenesis, microorganisms make methane, the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. Some iron reducers and methanogens, the microbes that drive the reactions, can cooperate with one another by sharing energy resources through interspecies electron transfer (IET). However, most predictive models …
