Natural bacteriogenic iron oxides (BIOS) were investigated using local-analyzable synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) with a submicron-scale resolution. Cell, cell sheath interface (EPS), and sheath in the BIOS were clearly depicted using C-, N-, and O- near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) obtained through STXM measurements. Fe-NEXAFS obtained from different regions of BIOS indicated that the most dominant iron mineral species was ferrihydrite. Fe(II)- and/or Fe(III)-acidic polysaccharides accompanied ferrihydrite near the cell and EPS regions. Our STXM/NEXAFS analysis showed that Fe species change continuously between the cell, EPS, and sheath under several 10-nm scales.
利用具有亚微米级分辨率的基于同步加速器的局部可分析扫描透射X射线显微镜(STXM)对天然细菌生成的铁氧化物(BIOS)进行了研究。通过STXM测量获得的C、N和O近边X射线吸收精细结构(NEXAFS)清晰地描绘了BIOS中的细胞、细胞鞘界面(EPS)和鞘。从BIOS不同区域获得的Fe-NEXAFS表明,最主要的铁矿物种类是水铁矿。在细胞和EPS区域附近,Fe(II)和/或Fe(III)酸性多糖与水铁矿相伴。我们的STXM/NEXAFS分析表明,在几十纳米的尺度下,细胞、EPS和鞘之间的Fe物种会持续变化。
