Linking Isotope Exchange with Fe(II)-Catalyzed Dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides in the Presence of the Bacterial Siderophore Desferrioxamine-B

Janet Gordon Hering

Dissolution of Fe(III) phases is a key process in making iron available to biota and in the mobilization of associated trace elements. Recently, we have demonstrated that submicromolar concentrations of Fe(II) significantly accelerate rates of ligand-contr ...
