Abstract

Cycling of phosphorus (P) at the sediment/water interface is generally considered to be an abiotic process. Sediment bacteria are assumed to play only an indirect role by accelerating the transfer of electron from electron donors to electron acceptors, thus providing the necessary conditions for redoxand pH-dependent, abiotic sorption/desorption or precipitation/dissolution reactions.
