Various preparations of iron(III) nitrilotriacetate (FeNTA) solution reported in the literature lack a comprehensive method for accurate determination of FeNTA concentration and often result in unstable solutions. A detailed procedure for the preparation of FeNTA solution is presented that includes the standardization of both components of the chelate. The standardization of the components allowed the accurate determination of the molar absorption coefficients for the calculation of the FeNTA concentration in two different buffers at pH 5.6 and 7.4. The variation of pH in this range or ionic strength in the range from 0 M to 3 M (KCl) has little effect on the value of the molar absorption coefficient. The precise concentrations of all species involved in the equilibria between Fe and NTA were determined in the pH range 2-12 using the Jenkins-Traub algorithm to solve the 5th-order polynomial in Microsoft Excel. In view of the experimental observations and the calculated distribution of species, the stability of FeNTA solutions may be affected by the Fe : NTA ratio and the total concentrations, with dilute solutions and those with an excess of NTA over Fe showing higher stability.

The last two decades have seen nitrogen/iron-transforming bacteria at the forefront of new biogeochemical discoveries, such as anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to ferric iron reduction (feammox) and lithoautotrophic nitrate-reducing ferrous iron-oxidation (NRFeOx). These emerging findings continue to expand our knowledge of the nitrogen/iron cycle in nature and also highlight the need to re-understand the functional traits of the microorganisms involved. Here, as a proof-of-principle, we report compelling evidence for the capability of an NRFeOx enrichment culture to catalyze the feammox process.

In this work, the design of a new generation of functionalized large pore silica nanoparticles is addressed for the specific removal of iron from biological environments. Herein, mesoporous silica with a large pore stellate morphology, denoted STMS, were grafted with the highly specific iron chelating agent desferrioxamine B, DFoB. The challenge of this work was the step by step elaboration of the nanoplatform and the evaluation of its chelating efficiency and selectivity.

Microbial cells are well known to be capable of remaining viable when desiccated, and a variety of beneficial microorganisms can thus be preserved for storage. For the ubiquitous widely studied soil bacterium Azospirillum brasilense (wild-type strain Sp7), which has a significant agrobiotechnological potential owing to its plant-growth-promoting capabilities perspective for its use in biofertilisers, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (in the diffuse reflectance mode, DRIFT) was used to control the state of biomass, together with Fe transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy to monitor intracellular iron speciation in live rapidly frozen cell suspension and in the lyophilised biomass (both measured at T = 80 K). It has been shown for the first time that a relatively large part of ferrous iron in live cells (22% of the whole cellular iron pool, represented by two high-spin Fe(II) forms, in the 18-h culture grown on Fe(III) complex with nitrilotriacetic acid as the sole source of iron) gets largely oxidised upon lyophilisation.

In this work, the hexadentate 3,4-hydroxypyridinone ligand was used as reagent for the spectrophotometric quantification of iron(III) in fresh and sea waters, using a micro sequential injection lab-on-valve (µSI-LOV) system in a solid phase spectrometry (SPS) mode. To implement SPS, thus eliminating the sample matrix, a packed column in the flow cell was used; the chosen sorbent was Nitrilotriacetic Acid Superflow resin (NTA). The possibility of performing an analytical curve resorting to just one standard was also demonstrated.
