Humic substances as electron acceptors for microbial respiration
- D. Lovley, J. Coates, E. L. Blunt-Harris, E. Phillips, J. C. Woodward
- Chemistry
- Nature
- 28 September 1996
HUMIC substances are heterogeneous high-molecular-weight organic materials which are ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic environments. They are resistant to microbial degradation1 and thus are not… Expand
Microorganisms pumping iron: anaerobic microbial iron oxidation and reduction
- K. A. Weber, L. Achenbach, J. Coates
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Microbiology
- 1 October 2006
Iron (Fe) has long been a recognized physiological requirement for life, yet for many microorganisms that persist in water, soils and sediments, its role extends well beyond that of a nutritional… Expand
Ubiquity and Diversity of Dissimilatory (Per)chlorate-Reducing Bacteria
- J. Coates, U. Michaelidou, R. A. Bruce, S. O'connor, J. Crespi, L. Achenbach
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 December 1999
ABSTRACT Environmental contamination with compounds containing oxyanions of chlorine, such as perchlorate or chlorate [(per)chlorate] or chlorine dioxide, has been a constantly growing problem over… Expand
Microbial perchlorate reduction: rocket-fuelled metabolism
- J. Coates, L. Achenbach
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Microbiology
- 1 July 2004
It is less than 7 years since perchlorate, a predominantly man-made toxic anion, was first identified as a significant water contaminant throughout the United States. Owing to its solubility and… Expand
Anaerobic benzene oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction in pure culture by two strains of Dechloromonas
- J. Coates, R. Chakraborty, +4 authors L. Achenbach
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature
- 28 June 2001
Benzene contamination is a significant problem. It is used in a wide range of manufacturing processes and is a primary component of petroleum-based fuels. Benzene is a hydrocarbon that is soluble,… Expand
Mercury Methylation by Dissimilatory Iron-Reducing Bacteria
- E. J. Kerin, C. Gilmour, E. Roden, M. Suzuki, J. Coates, R. Mason
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 20 October 2006
ABSTRACT The Hg-methylating ability of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria in the genera Geobacter, Desulfuromonas, and Shewanella was examined. All of the Geobacter and Desulfuromonas strains… Expand
Phylogenetic analysis of dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacteria.
- D. J. Lonergan, H. Jenter, J. Coates, E. J. Phillips, T. M. Schmidt, D. Lovley
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 April 1996
Evolutionary relationships among strictly anaerobic dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacteria obtained from a diversity of sedimentary environments were examined by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA… Expand
Humic Substances as a Mediator for Microbially Catalyzed Metal Reduction
- D. Lovley, J. L. Fraga, E. L. Blunt-Harris, L. A. Hayes, E. Phillips, J. Coates
- Chemistry
- 1 May 1998
The potential for humic substances to serve as a terminal electron acceptor in microbial respiration and to function as an electron shuttle between Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms and insoluble… Expand
