Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Fe-oxides and Fe-phyllosilicates coexist in sediments and aquifers, playing a pivotal role in nutrient and pollutant cycles due to their large specific surface area and high reactivity. Under anaerobic conditions, dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria use Fe(III)-bearing minerals, such as Fe-phyllosilicates and Fe-oxides, as electron acceptors during their metabolic processes. While the bioreduction behavior of individual Fe-oxide and Fe-phyllosilicate minerals is well-documented, much less is known about how their reactivity is altered when combined in a mixed system. This study investigates how low concentrations of Fe-phyllosilicates influence the bioreduction of Fe-oxide by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, using akaganeite (Aka) and nontronite (NAu-2) as model minerals. The results reveal that the presence of NAu-2 significantly decreased both the rate and extent of Aka bioreduction. Additionally, while bioreduction of Aka led to the formation of magnetite, siderite, and chukanovite, only magnetite precipitated in the presence of NAu-2, as confirmed by XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. These findings suggest that the interaction and surface properties of the Aka-NAu-2 composite fundamentally alter Aka's transformation, highlighting the complexity of mineral reactivity in natural environments.
