Abstract:Superoxide and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the 2 0 environment shape microbial communities 1 and drive transformation of metals 2,3 2 1 and inorganic/organic matter 4,5 . Taxonomically diverse bacteria and 2 2 phytoplankton can produce extracellular superoxide during laboratory 2 3 cultivation 6-11 . Understanding the physiological reasons for extracellular 2 4 superoxide production by aerobes in the environment is a crucial question yet 2 5 not fully solved. Here, we showed that iron-starving Arthr… Show more
