Cover Caption: The cover image is based on the Research Article Hematite‐promoted nitrate‐reducing Fe(II) oxidation by Acidovorax sp. strain BoFeN1: Roles of mineral catalysis and cell encrustation by Kuan Cheng et al., https://doi.org/10.1111/gbi.12510
Although nitrate‐reducing Fe(II) oxidizing (NRFO) bacteria can grow sustainably in natural environments, numerous laboratory studies suggested that cell encrustation‐induced metabolism limitations and cell death occurred more seriously in the absence of natural minerals. Hence, a study on how natural minerals could affect NRFO is warranted. This study examined the impact of hematite on NRFO by Acidovorax...
