Knowledge on microbial iron oxidation is important for understanding the cycling of iron, carbon, nitrogen, nutrients, and metals. The current study yields important insights into the niche sharing, diversification, and Fe(III) oxyhydroxide morphology of , an iron- and hydrogen-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria representative belonging to Zetaproteobacteria operational taxonomic unit 9. The study proposes that exhibits a more extensive morphology of Fe(III) oxyhydroxide than previously observed. Overall, the results increase our knowledge on potential drivers of Zetaproteobacteria diversity in iron microbial mats and can eventually be used to develop strategies for the cultivation of sheath-forming Zetaproteobacteria.
对微生物铁氧化的了解对于理解铁、碳、氮、营养物质和金属的循环至关重要。本研究深入了解了属于 Zetaproteobacteria 操作分类单元 9 的铁和氢氧化的 Zetaproteobacteria 代表 的生态位共享、多样化和 Fe(III) 氢氧化物形态。该研究表明，与以前观察到的相比， 表现出更广泛的 Fe(III) 氢氧化物形态。总的来说，研究结果增加了我们对铁微生物垫中 Zetaproteobacteria 多样性的潜在驱动因素的了解，并最终可用于开发鞘形成 Zetaproteobacteria 的培养策略。
