4. The disappearance of BIFs after about 1.8 Ga had been initially thought to indicate the transition to the oxygenated ocean (1), but a growing body of evidence suggests that sultide, rather than oxygen, could have been responsible for removing Fe from deep ocean waters (13, 34-36).

9. The range of Fe isotope composition of hydrogenic ferromanganese deposits in modern oceanic basins is large [between -0.8 and -0.1‰ (37)], but it is unclear whether the variability is caused by changes of Fe isotope composition in the water column or by secondary effects.

17. Experimental studies suggest that Fe isotope fractionations during bacterial reduction of Fe oxides is dependent on reduction rates (6). At high reduction rates, rapid formation and sorption of Fe(II) to ferric oxide substrate produced fractionations as large as -2.3‰, but this value corresponds to an extreme case and fractionation of -1.3‰ between biogenic Fe(II) and ferric oxide is more representative (6).

26. 2. Alternatively, a direct mechanism for Fe oxidation by anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria has been suggested (40), and abiotic photochemical oxidation may have also contributed to Fe oxidation in the Archean (41).
27. A magnetite-Fe(II) fractionation factor of about 2.4‰ has been inferred from BIFs data (12), which is slightly less than the equilibrium Fe(III)-Fe(II) fractionation factor of 2.9‰ at 22°C (42). The fractionation between ferrihydrite and Fe(II) of 1.5‰ measured during anaerobic photosynthetic Fe(II) oxidation by bacteria (43) is slightly larger than the 0.9‰ fractionation measured during abiotic oxidation of Fe(II) to ferrihydrite (25).
