Influence of zinc on ferrous iron bio-oxidation: Biological or physical nature?

Ferrous iron bio-oxidation is negatively affected by the presence of heavy metals. Although the available information relates this phenomenon to purely biological aspects, it is contradictory with respect to tolerance levels, mechanisms and kinetics. This dispersion of results may be due to the empi...
