WISELI/Environmental Chemistry & Technology Seminar
Microbial and Geochemical Synergy in Manganese Biomineralization
Event Details
Date
Friday, October 19, 2012
Time
12 p.m.
Description
Professor Colleen Hansel, Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
After decades of research, the microbial processes responsible for the oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn oxides remain an enigma. This seminar will introduce a recently discovered pathway involving a complex interplay of microbial (enzymatic) and chemical reactions that ultimately leads to the precipitation of highly reactive Mn oxides.
