  2. Iron(II) sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II)_sulfide

    These metal sulfides, such as iron(II) sulfide, are often black or brown, leading to the color of sludge. Pyrrhotite is a waste product of the Desulfovibrio bacteria, a sulfate reducing bacteria. When eggs are cooked for a long time, the yolk's surface may turn green. This color change is due to iron(II) sulfide, which forms as iron from the ...

  3. Iron sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_sulfide

    Iron sulfide or Iron sulphide can refer to range of chemical compounds composed of iron and sulfur. Minerals. By increasing order of stability: Iron(II) sulfide, FeS;

  4. Human iron metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_iron_metabolism

    Absorption of dietary iron in iron salt form (as in most supplements) varies somewhat according to the body's need for iron, and is usually between 10% and 20% of iron intake. Absorption of iron from animal products, and some plant products, is in the form of heme iron, and is more efficient, allowing absorption of from 15% to 35% of intake.

  5. Iron–sulfur cluster biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron–sulfur_cluster...

    The iron sulfur proteins contain iron–sulfur clusters, some with elaborate structures, that feature iron and sulfide centers. One broad biosynthetic task is producing sulfide (S 2-), which requires various families of enzymes. Another broad task is affixing the sulfide to iron, which is achieved on scaffolds, which are nonfunctional.

  6. Sulfur metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_metabolism

    From the sulfide they form the amino acids cysteine and methionine, sulfolipids, and other sulfur compounds. Animals obtain sulfur from cysteine and methionine in the protein that they consume. Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral element in the body. [21] The amino acids cysteine and methionine are used by the body to make glutathione.

    Iron is a mineral that is crucial for optimal health and well-being. Found naturally in many foods and dietary supplements, it is a key component of hemoglobin, the part of red blood cells ...

  8. Iron-oxidizing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-oxidizing_bacteria

    The anoxygenic phototrophic iron oxidation was the first anaerobic metabolism to be described within the iron anaerobic oxidation metabolism. The photoferrotrophic bacteria use Fe 2+ as electron donor and the energy from light to assimilate CO 2 into biomass through the Calvin Benson-Bassam cycle (or rTCA cycle) in a neutrophilic environment (pH 5.5-7.2), producing Fe 3+ oxides as a waste ...

  9. Acid sulfate soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_sulfate_soil

    Acid sulfate soils are naturally occurring soils, sediments or organic substrates (e.g. peat) that are formed under waterlogged conditions. These soils contain iron sulfide minerals (predominantly as the mineral pyrite) and/or their oxidation products. In an undisturbed state below the water table, acid sulfate soils are benign.
