Iron-rich colloids formed at the oxic-anoxic interface of a eutrophic lake (Lake Lugano; CH) were characterized by bulk chemical methods and analytical electron microscopy. Fractionation of raw waters showed that non-dissolved iron is particulate above the oxicline and mainly colloidal in the anoxic part of the hypolimnion, while non-dissolved ortho-phosphate is mostly colloidal through the water column. Because of these differences, filtration did not prove helpful for the determination of the role of iron-rich species in the scavenging of ortho-phosphate. On the other hand, analytical electron microscopy revealed that iron-rich nano-granules (ca. 50nm) are associated to the surface of bacterially produced fibrillar polysaccharides. Iron colloids in these complex entities contain important and constant amounts of phosphorus ([PO4]part:[Fe]part= 0.48 ± 0.11, n = 1096 Fe-rich entities analyzed by electron microscopy), which suggests that phosphates are stoichiometrically incorporated into the hydrous iron oxide phase, with a tentative composition Fe2[OOH]1-x[(OH)3]x[PO4], during its genesis.
