Provide an explanation for the dark growth on the rock

Reference no: EM133442303

Question: An organism is found to produce a dark growth on glucose in the absence of light as well as on any soluble terminal electron acceptor if it is allowed to attach to a rock rich in iron oxide. Throughout this growth, no measurable fermentation products are produced, so we can rule out fermentation as a method of energy generation. Please provide an explanation for the dark growth on the rock's surface.
