The objective of the proposed research is to study the genetic basis of neutrophilic microbial iron oxidation to elucidate its relation to iron oxyhydroxide biomineralization and develop a means to monitor biological iron oxidation in the environment. This work will involve annotating one of the first available genomes of aerobic neutrophilic iron oxidizer and identifying components of the iron oxidation electron transport and polysaccharide synthesis pathways using geonomic analysis and protein isolation and characterization techniques.

这项研究的目的是研究中性微生物铁氧化的遗传基础，阐明其与氢氧化铁生物矿化的关系，并开发一种监测环境中生物铁氧化的方法。这项工作将包括注释最早可用的中性粒细胞铁氧化剂基因组之一，并使用地质分析和蛋白质分离和表征技术确定铁氧化、电子传递和多糖合成途径的成分。
