title: Application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to wet bacterial cells.
abstract: Although Mössbauer spectroscopy has been applied only to samples in the dry or frozen state, we present evidence showing that this spectroscopy is applicable to biological iron compounds in the wet state if they are tightly bound to the cell membrane or cell wall.
