Photoferrotrophs R. ferrooxidans SW2 (top), Rhodovulum iodosum (middle) and Chlorobium sp. N1 (bottom) grown alone with different nitrite concentrations (listed at the top of the figure). All strains show inhibition suggesting the abiotic reaction between nitrite and Fe(II) can be inhibitory if the nitrite concentrations are high enough. 10 mM Fe(II) was added to all cultures.
