Abstract:Methanogens often inhabit sulfidic environments that favor the precipitation of transition metals such as iron (Fe) as metal sulfides, including mackinawite (FeS) and pyrite (FeS
2
). These metal sulfides have historically been considered biologically unavailable. Nonetheless, methanogens are commonly cultivated with sulfide (HS

) as a sulfur source, a condition that would be expected to favor metal precipitation and thus limit metal availability. Recen… Show more
