Abstract The majority of the bacteria tested were able to reduce both ferric iron and nitrate. However, ferric iron may be reduced by bacteria which do not possess a nitrate reductase and, conversely, the possession of a nitrate reductase does not confer the ability to reduce ferric iron. A glucose-fermenting Vibrio and an anaerobic lithotroph were tested for their ability to reduce a greater variety of metals. The Vibrio reduced the wider range of metals and to a greater degree. Lithotrophic bacteria not only reduce a more restricted range of metals, they also appear not to possess the capacity of fermentative bacteria to use metals as minor electron sinks.
