Iron minerals inhibit the growth of <i>Pseudomonas brassicacearum</i> J12 via a free-radical mechanism: implications for soil carbon storage

<p>Natural minerals in soil can inhibit the growth of bacteria that protect organic carbon from decay. However, the mechanism inhibiting the bacterial growth remains poorly understood. Here, using a series of cultivation experiments and biological, chemical and synchrotron-based spectral analy...
