Pyrite formation from FeS and H(2)S is mediated through microbial redox activity

The exergonic reaction of FeS with H(2)S to form FeS(2) (pyrite) and H(2) was postulated to have operated as an early form of energy metabolism on primordial Earth. Since the Archean, sedimentary pyrite formation has played a major role in the global iron and sulfur cycles, with direct impact on the...
