Anaerobic prokaryotic processes drive manganese release in a drinking water reservoir
Seasonal oxygen depletion promotes the release of Mn and Fe from sediments, with Mn(IV) and Fe(III) reduction occurring under increasingly reducing conditions and contributing to metal cycling and redox zonation. This study highlights the dynamic interaction between physicochemical gradients and prokaryotic community structure that drives Mn transformation in stratified freshwater systems.
