Metabolic adaptation of a methanogen to a ferruginous environment associated with intracellular Fe- and S-rich nanoparticles
Across the great oxidation event (GOE) period, the oceans experienced a major transition from ferruginous (Fe 2+ -rich) to localized euxinic (HS − -rich) conditions. In ferruginous oceans, sulfur is mostly sequestered into metastable aqueous Fe-S clusters (FeS aq ) and sulfide minerals like mackinawite (FeS Ma...
