Dissimilatory Fe(III) Reduction Controls on Arsenic Mobilization: A Combined Biogeochemical and NanoSIMS Imaging Approach

Microbial metabolism plays a key role in controlling the fate of toxic groundwater contaminants, such as arsenic. Dissimilatory metal reduction catalyzed by subsurface bacteria can facilitate the mobilization of arsenic via the reductive dissolution of As(V)-bearing Fe(III) mineral assemblages. The...
