Iron (III)‐reducing bacteria (IRB) play significant roles in the degradation of naturally occurring organic matter and in the cycling of heavy metals in marine and freshwater sediments. Our previous study has demonstrated the co‐occurrence of Geobacteraceae and Methanosarcinamazei as aggregates in t...
