Mineralogical and Morphological Characterization of microbially reduced oxides and oxyhydroxides

This proposal is for ongoing research under the NABIR program. The programmatic needs for instrumentation in the IPS directorate of EMSL include access to the field emission scanning electron microscope and the transmission electron microscope and ancillary equipment. Access for this instrumentation is needed for mineralogical characterization of biologically reduced oxides and oxyhydroxides.
