Acetate oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction in hyperthermophilic microorganisms
Article Abstract:
The thermophilic organisms Ferroglobus placidus and 'Geoglobus ahangari' both oxidize acetate to carbon dioxide using Fe(III) as the electron acceptor. Acetate is an important intermediate in the anaerobic oxidation of organic matter.

Reductive precipitation of gold by dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing Bacteria and Archaea
Article Abstract:
Many hyperthermophiles and mesophiles can reduce Au(III) to Au(0) using hydrogen as the electron donor. This shows that dissimilatory metal-reducing organisms may be responsible for creating gold deposits in hydrothermal and cool environments.

Thermophily in the Geobacteraceae: Geothermobacter ehrlichii gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic member of the Geobacteraceae from the "Bag City" hydrothermal vent
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on microorganisms associated with marine hydrothermal vent "Big City". The isolation and characterization of thermophilic bacterium from this vent have been carried out, and its ability to couple acetate oxidation to Fe(II) or nitrate reduction has been investigated and discussed.
