[Universality and Potential Application of Mn(Ⅱ) Oxidation Triggered by Microbial Interspecies Interactions].

Mn(Ⅱ)-oxidizing microorganisms can catalytically increase the oxidation rate of divalent manganese by several orders of magnitude, and affect the valence state and fate of elemental manganese. In addition to Mn(Ⅱ)-oxidization by a single microbial strain, our previous studies revealed that interspecies interactions between two bacterial strains ( sp. QXT-31 and sp.
