The oxidation of the ferrous ion ( Fe 2 + ) to the ferric ion ( Fe 3 + ) is an energy producing reaction for some microorganisms.

When hydrogen sulfide ( H 2 S ) ( or sulfide ions ) and ferric ions combine in the blood, the blood is incapable of carrying oxygen.
13.
An explanation may be that the microbes use sulfate as a catalyst to respire with ferric ions and metabolize the trace levels of organic matter trapped with them.
14.
As BLVRB is a promiscuous enzyme catalysing the pyridine-nucleotide-dependent reduction of a variety of flavins, biliverdins, PQQ ( pyrroloquinoline quinone ), and ferric ion.
15.
The chemistry of oxidation of pyrites, the production of ferrous ions and subsequently ferric ions, is very complex, and this complexity has considerably inhibited the design of effective treatment options.
16.
The results from the EPR show a strong line on g = 2.0 and another line on g = 8.0, thus also showing a presence of ferrous and ferric ions in satterlyite.
17.
A ferric reductase enzyme on the enterocytes'brush border, Dcytb, reduces ferric Fe3 + to Fe2 + . " Does this mean the body can absorb ferric ions, by converting them to ferrous ions?
18.
Enterobactin is the strongest siderophore known, binding to the ferric ion ( Fe 3 + ) with the chelating even in environments where the concentration of ferric ion is held very low, such as within living organisms.

20.
The ferric ions must then be converted into the ferrous form ( Fe 2 + ), to be accumulated within the BMP; this is achieved by means of a transmembrane transporter, which exhibits sequence homology with a Na + / H + antiporter.
