Description:
Leptothrix sp . was cultivated in Lieske's medium in the presence of Al foil covered by anodic Alumina . Samples of biomass deposited on lamellae were studied by the methods of infrared, Mössbauer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sole deposition of γ -FeOOH on the lamellae was found to take place. This result is explained by the influence of γ -AlOOH ingredient in the used support due to crystal structure similarity. Thus, iron oxyhydroxide crystallisation could be directed during bacteria cultivation. The catalytic activity of deposited γ -FeOOH was examined in CO oxidation.
