Cable bacteria generate a firewall against euxinia in seasonally hypoxic basins
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Seasonal hypoxia is increasing in coastal areas worldwide, as more nutrients are delivered to the coastal ocean and water temperatures are rising due to climate change. Hypoxia reaches a particularly harmful stage when sulfide, which is highly toxic for marine life, is released to the bottom water. Here, we document a natural microbial mechanism that counteracts the release of free sulfide, thus preventing the most adverse stage of seasonal hypoxia. Electricity-generating cable bacteria produce a large pool of oxidized sedimentary iron minerals, which efficiently bind free sulfide. As cable bacteria are likely abundant in many seasonally hypoxic basins worldwide, their “firewall” mechanism may be widespread.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
