Transient O2 pulses direct Fe crystallinity and Fe(III)-reducer gene expression within a soil microbiome

Abstract Background Many environments contain redox transition zones, where transient oxygenation events can modulate anaerobic reactions that influence the cycling of iron (Fe) and carbon (C) on a global scale. In predominantly anoxic soils, this biogeochemical cycling depends on Fe mineral composi...
