TLDR
The newly observed bacterial process may significantly contribute to ferric iron formation in the suboxic zone of aquatic sediments.
Abstract
Enrichment and pure cultures of nitrate-reducing bacteria were shown to grow anaerobically with ferrous iron as the only electron donor or as the additional electron donor in the presence of acetate. The newly observed bacterial process may significantly contribute to ferric iron formation in the suboxic zone of aquatic sediments.

Cell biology and molecular basis of denitrification.

TL;DR: Denitrification is intimately related to fundamental cellular processes that include primary and secondary transport, protein translocation, cytochrome c biogenesis, anaerobic gene regulation, metalloprotein assembly, and the biosynthesis of the cofactors molybdopterin and heme D1.

Microorganisms pumping iron: anaerobic microbial iron oxidation and reduction

TL;DR: Biological iron apportionment has been described as one of the most ancient forms of microbial metabolism on Earth, and as a conceivable extraterrestrial metabolism on other iron-mineral-rich planets such as Mars.

Production of N 2 through Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation Coupled to Nitrate Reduction in Marine Sediments

TL;DR: It is found that a process novel to the marine nitrogen cycle, anaerobic oxidation of ammonium coupled to nitrate reduction, contributes substantially to N2 production in marine sediments.

Bacterial Manganese and Iron Reduction in Aquatic Sediments

TL;DR: The importance of bacteria in the biogeochemical manganese and iron cycles has gained broad appreciation over the past decade, and a large number of bacteria have been isolated that grow with oxidized Mn or Fe as sole terminal electron acceptor.

Early oxidation of organic matter in pelagic sediments of the eastern equatorial Atlantic: suboxic diagenesis

TL;DR: Pore water profiles of total CO 2, pH, PO 3−4, NO − 3 plus NO − 2, SO 2− 4, S 2−, Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ have been obtained in cores from pelagic sediments of the eastern equatorial Atlantic under waters of moderate to high productivity as mentioned in this paper.
