Microbiologists discover bacteria that eliminate toxic sulfide and use iron minerals to grow. An international group of researchers led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy at the University of Vienna has identified a previously unknown form of microbial metabolism. The newly discovered microorganisms, known as MISO bacteria, “breathe” iron minerals by oxidizing toxic sulfide. [...]from SciTechDaily https://ift.tt/4Xh3RNG
