Abstract
Hitherto, research on iron(III)-reduction has mainly focused on bacteria rather than fungal communities. To acquire insight into fungi involved in iron(III) reduction, typical organic matters (containing cellulose, glucose, lactate, and acetate) and ferrihydrite were used as electron donors and acceptors, respectively, in the presence of antibiotics. After antibiotic addition, microbial iron(III) reduction was still detected at quite high rates. In comparison, rates of iron(III) reduction were significantly lower in cellulose-amended groups than those with glucose, lactate, and acetate under the antibiotic-added condition. Patterns of intermediate (e.g., acetate, pyruvate, glucose) turnover were markedly different between treatments with and without antibiotics during organic degradation. A total of 20 genera of potential respiratory and fermentative iron(III)-reducing fungi were discovered based on ITS sequencing and genome annotation. This study provided an insight into the diversity of iron(III)-reducing fungi, indicating the underestimated contribution of fungi to iron and the coupled carbon biogeochemical cycling in environments.
