Abstract
Ferric iron acted as a non-competitive inhibitor for the biological ox idation of ferrous iron and decreased the inhibitory effects of high c oncentrations of ferrous iron as well as the auto-inhibitive effect th e bacterial cells. A previously developed kinetic model for this react ion was modified to incorporate the inhibition effects of ferric iron.
