Abstract

Microbial-mediated biogeochemical cycling of iron is widespread in anaerobic environments such as sediments and deep Earth aquifers, and is one of the major pathways for metabolising iron in nature. Organic matter containing quinone groups can act as electron shuttles to transfer electrons between microorganisms and Fe(III) oxides, facilitating the biotransformation of iron; this process also influences the transport transformation of pollutants. In this paper, the reduction of Fe(III) oxides by aniline in the heterogeneous iron-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 mediated by the electron shuttle AQS was investigated. The results showed that aniline significantly promoted the reduction of Fe(III) by MR-1 in the AQS-mediated reaction, and the best Fe(III) reduction was achieved in the reaction group of "GT+MR-1+0.5mM AQS+3μM aniline", in which the Fe(II) production was significantly higher than that in the reaction groups of only microorganisms and no aniline reaction. The amount of Fe(II) produced was significantly higher than that of the microorganism-only and aniline-free reaction groups, and the addition of aniline also significantly increased the consumption of sodium lactate by MR-1 in the reaction system. The solid mineral Fe(II)-O content increased to 41.32% after the reaction. However, the structure of needle ferrite is relatively stable, and the surface morphology did not change significantly by SEM, and the generation of other secondary minerals was not observed in the XRD results. The results of this experimental study can help to understand the biogeochemical cycle of iron in multicomponent reactions and are of great significance for environmental management.
