Iron reduction under oxic conditions by Microbacterium deferre sp. nov. A1-JKT - Nature Communications
In this study, the authors show that Microbacterium deferre A1-JK, a newly isolated Gram-positive bacterium, simultaneously reduces oxygen and iron under oxic conditions, revealing unexpected microbial metabolic flexibility with implications for biogeochemical cycling.
