The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Most of the FeOB and SOB are microaerophiles that prefer low-oxygen conditions for chemolithoautotrophic CO2 fixation, and some of them are facultative anaerobes that can carry out iron and sulfur oxidation by using alternative terminal electron acceptors such as nitrate and nitrite instead of oxyge”
Fe(III)-mediated anaerobic ammonium oxidation: A novel microbial nitrogen cycle pathway and potential applications (2021, methodology): “Microbial Fe(III) reduction has long been associated with reduced natural organic matter, sulfide, or hydrogen (Kiskira et al., 2017; Melton et al., 2014).”
Metagenomic and quantitative insights into microbial communities and functional genes of nitrogen and iron cycling in twelve wastewater treatment systems (2016, result): “reducing, which was consistent with previous studies [25].”
The Electrochemical Properties of Biochars and How They Affect Soil Redox Properties and Processes (2015, background): “Microorganisms can also actively modify and optimize their immediate geochemical surroundings by mobilizing nutrients for uptake and increasing the accessibility of electron acceptors for energy generation to facilitate assimilation and dissimilation [16].”
