Popis: Mossbauer spectroscopy, nuclear forward scattering, and Raman spectroscopy were applied to study redox transformations of the synthesized mixed-valence (III/V) antimony oxide. The transformations were induced by a culture of a hyperthermophilic archaeon of the genus Pyrobaculum. The applied methods allowed us to reveal the minor decrease of ca. 11.0 ± 1.2% of the antimony(V) content of the mixed-valence oxide with the concomitant increase of antimony(III). The method sensitivities for the quantitative assessment of the Sb(III/V) ratio have been considered.
