๐งฌ ๐ฆ Synthetic biologist: We engineered ocean bacteria to enhance production of siderophores
๐ชจ ๐งช Geochemist: We observed iron solubilization orthogonal to silica passivation
๐๐ฐ Process engineer: We showed that wild microbes will not accelerate rock weathering - they simply don't need that much iron
Our work on biological rock weathering for CO2 sequestration is online as a pre-print: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
