**To test the iron reduction rate, cells were grown anaerobically to mid-log phase in the LB medium along with 10mM fumarate and 10mM lactate. They were transferred to a solution of 5mL LB medium, 10mM lactate, and 10mM Fe(III) dioxide. They then performed the ferrozine assay. (14).

**For the microarray portion of the experiment, four biological replicates were grown in the LB medium. 2,2’-dipyridyl was added at concentration of 160 M, followed by ferrous sulfate after 60 minutes. They then centrifuged to allow for RNA extraction.

**Figure 1: Graph A shows the results of the iron-chelating portion of the experiment. The bacteria was able to grown, with lessened ability, through the 240 M concentration of the 2,2’-dipyridyl. However, it was unable to grow in the 320 M condition. Graph B shows the results of adding the 2,2’-dipyridyl to the bacteria but then reversing the results with FeSO4, which is used to replete iron concentrations. The strains were able to grow in each of the shown conditions. (3)
