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

- 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

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
Reduction of (per)chlorate by a novel organism isolated from paper mill waste.
- R. A. Bruce, L. Achenbach, J. Coates
- Biology, Medicine
- Environmental microbiology
- 1 August 1999
As part of a study on the microbiology of chlorate reduction, several new dissimilatory chlorate-reducing bacteria were isolated from a broad diversity of environments. One of these, strain CKB, was… Expand
