Fe biomineralization mirrors individual metabolic activity in a nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-oxidizer
Microbial biomineralization sometimes leads to periplasmic encrustation, which is predicted to enhance microorganism preservation in the fossil record.Mineral precipitation within the periplasm is however thought to induce death, as a result of permeability loss preventing nutrient and waste transit across the cell wall.This hypothesis had however
