Secondary mineral formation associated with respiration of nontronite, NAu-1 by iron reducing bacteria

<p/> <p>Experimental batch and miscible-flow cultures were studied in order to determine the mechanistic pathways of microbial Fe(III) respiration in ferruginous smectite clay, NAu-1. The primary purpose was to resolve if alteration of smectite and release of Fe precedes microbial respir...
