Certain methanogens deteriorate steel surfaces through a process called microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). However, the mechanisms of MIC, whereby methanogens oxidize zerovalent iron (Fe<sup>0</sup>), are largely unknown. In this study, Fe<sup>0</sup>-corroding Methanococcus maripaludis strain OS7 and its derivative (strain OS7mut1) defective in Fe<sup>0</sup>-corroding activity were isolated. Genomic analysis of these strains demonstrated that the strain OS7mut1 contained a 12-kb chr ...[more]
