Biogenic MnO2 Minerals affect metal fate and transport in natural and engineered systems by strongly sorbing metals ions. The ability to produce MnO2 is widely dispersed in the microbial tree of life, leading to potential differences in the minerals produced by different organisms. In this study, we compare the structure and reactivity of biogenic Mn oxides produced by the biofilm-forming bacterium Pseudomonas putida GB-1 and the white-rot fungus Coprinellus sp. The rate of Mri(II) oxidation, and thus biomineral production, was 45 times lower for Coprinellus sp. (5.1 X 10(-2) mM d(-1)) than for P. putida (2.32 mM d(-1)). Both organisms produced predominantly Mn(IV) oxides with hexagonal-sheet symmetry, low sheet stacking, small particle size, and Mn(I/III) in the interlayet. However, we found that mycogenie MnO2 could support at significantly lower quantity of Ni sorbed via inner-sphere Coordination at vacancy sites than the bacteriogenic MnO2: 0.09 versus 0.14 mol Ni Mori Mn. In addition, 50100% of the adsorbed Ni partitioned to the MnO2, which accounts for less than 20%. Of the sofbeht on a mass basis. The vacancy content, which appears to increase with the kinetics of MnO2 precipitation, exerts significant control on biomineral reactivity.
