Anaerobic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria were quantified beneath the oxic-anoxic boundary zone in littoral Lake Constance sediments. (A) An oxygen microelectrode profile indicating the oxygen penetration depth in the littoral sediment. (B) Most probable number (MPN) study quantifying phototrophic and nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizers in the anoxic part of the littoral sediment. Total bacterial cells were quantified by qPCR (Rahalkar et al., 2009).
