Humic substances (HS) can be reduced by microorganisms and oxidized by electron acceptors such as Fe(III) or O-2. However, redox reactions between HS and highly crystalline Fe(III) minerals and O-2 have not yet been quantified. We therefore determined the rates and extent of goethite and hematite reduction by HS in comparison to those of dissolved and poorly crystalline Fe(III) compounds and O-2. Although nonreduced HS transferred significant amounts of electrons only to dissolved Fe(III) citrate and ferrihydrite, reduced HS additionally reduced goethite and hematite. The extent of reduction depended on the redox potentials of the Fe(III) compounds. Fewer electrons were transferred from HS to O-2 than to Fe(III) despite the more positive redox potential of the O-2/H2O redox couple. Reoxidation of reduced HS by O-2 took place within minutes and yielded reoxidized HS that were still more reduced than nonreduced HS, indicating that some reduced moieties in HS are protected from reoxidation by O-2. Our data suggests (i) reduction of crystalline Fe(III) minerals by reduced HS has-to be considered in the environmental electron transfer network, (ii) exposure of reduced HS to O-2 does not reoxidize HS completely within short time frames, and therefore, NO HS electron shuttling to Fe(III) can occur even in the presence of O-2.
