In karstic soils, the micro-oxic conditions could promote vital geochemical processes for element cycling. The results of this study demonstrate that carbon fixation coupled to Fe(II) oxidation can increase the carbon content in soils by microaerophilic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria, as well as accelerate As(III) sequestration association with Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxides.
