Abstract
Oxygen concentrations are important in constraining the geochemical niche of neutrophilic iron oxidizers. However, other
factors like temperature may affect the competition between microbial and abiotic Fe(II) oxidation and may cause community
changes. Here, rates and mineral products of Fe(II) oxidation (initial concentration 150 lmol Fe(II)/l) by the Fe(II) oxidizing
bacterial strain Leptothrix
