Abstract
Cycling of redox-sensitive elements such as Fe is affected by not only ambient Eh-pH conditions, but also by a significant biomass that may derive energy through changes in redox state (e.g., Nealson 1983; Lovely et al. 1987; Myers and Nealson 1988; Ghiorse 1989). The evidence now seems overwhelming that biological processing of redox-sensitive metals is likely to be the rule in surface- and near-surface environments, rather than the exception. The Fe redox cycle of the Earth fundamentally begins with tectonic processes, where “juvenile” crust (high-temperature metamorphic and igneous rocks) that contains Fe which is largely in the...Keywords
