| Earth, home of human beings, is 70% water and 30% land which has nurtured splendid civilizations and flourishing lives. The cover story of this issue reflects the evolution of Earth by merging an unknown planet in a unified scene with different landscapes throughout the history such as glacier, desert, ocean, mountain, river and magma. The contrast between the past to reality can best illustrate our respect to our motherland. It is not only the subjects of geoscience studies, but also the common goal of all multidisciplinary research and the shared duties of mankind to understand, care and protect our planet to build a better future. |

Graphical abstract
A large number of reaction systems are composed of hydrophobic interfaces and microorganisms in natural environment. However, it is not clear how microorganisms adjust their breathing patterns and respond to hydrophobic interfaces. Here, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was used to reduce ferrihydrite of a hydrophobic surface. Through Fe(II) kinetic analysis, it was found that the reduction rate of hydrophobic ferrihydrite was 1.8 times that of hydrophilic one. The hydrophobic surface of the mineral hinders the way the electroactive microorganism uses the water-soluble electron mediator riboflavin for indirect electron transfer and promotes MR-1 to produce more liposoluble quinones.
