Unlocking the Power of Microbial Iron Transformation for Industry and Environment
Iron oxidizing bacteria (IOB) have emerged as vital microbial agents in various sectors, from environmental management to industrial biotechnology. These bacteria naturally convert soluble iron (Fe²⁺) into insoluble iron oxides (Fe³⁺), facilitating processes such as bioremediation, bioleaching, and water purification. As demand for these biol
