1
REDOX: IRON, SULFUR, & SILICA
2
Redox Potential pE = -log free electrons When corrected to pH 7 (H + = OH - ), called E h When E h positive – oxidizing environment When E h negative – reducing environment
3
Redox vs. pH
4
Redox (mv) of common liquids
5
Example of Redox data
6
pH and ORP in Lake Skiennungen
10
Fe & Mn in oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes
11
Iron and Manganese in a Productive Lake
12
Redox: Sulfur and Iron
13
Particulate Fe and Fe (II) through the year
14
Sulfur and Iron in Mud
15
Fe & Mn in Crooked lake (mesotrophic)
16
Fe & Mn in Little Crooked lake (eutrophic)
17
Transport of Fe in a lake
18
Iron Oxidizing Bacteria Gallionella (an iron-oxidizing bacterium) 4Fe (HCO 3 ) 2 + O 2 + 6H 2 O 4Fe (OH) 3 + 4H 2 CO 3 + 4CO 2 + 58 kcal
19
Ferrobacillus iron bacteria 4FeCO 3 + O 2 + 6H 2 O Fe(OH) 3 + 4CO 2
20

26
ORP, pH, and Sulfur bacteria
27
Autotrophic Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacteria and Iron Transformations Thiobacillus Some of the reactions that it can mediate FeS 2 + 3½O 2 +H 2 O FeSO 4 + H 2 SO 4 2FeSO 4 + ½O 2 + H 2 SO 4 Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + H 2 O
28
Bacterial Transformations of Sulfur Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (heterotrophic and anaerobic) Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacteria – Chemosynthetic – Pigmented Autotrophic
29
Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Ex: Desulfovibrio Heterotrophic and anaerobic H 2 SO 4 + 2(CH 2 O) 2CO 2 2H 2 O + H 2 S H 2 SO 4 + 4H 2 H 2 S + 4H 2 O
30
Chemosynthetic Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacteria Ex: Beggiatoa Deposit elemental S inside cell H 2 S + ½O 2 S + H 2 O S + 1½O 2 + H 2 O H 2 SO 4 Ex: Thiobacillus Deposit elemental S outside 2Na 2 S 2 O 3 + O 2 2S + 2Na 2 SO 4
31
Green Sulfur Bacteria Ex: Chlorobium Uses a pigment similar to chlorophyll CO 2 + 2H 2 S LIGHT Food + H 2 O + 2S 2CO 2 + 2 H 2 O + H 2 S LIGHT Food + H 2 SO 4
32
Purple Sulfur Bacteria Ex: Chromatium They deposit sulfur intracellularly Same reactions as Chlorobium
33
Purple Non-Sulfur Bacteria Ex: Rhodobacter Na 2 S 2 O 3 +2CO 2 +3H 2 O LIGHT Food + Na 2 SO 4 +H 2 SO 4
