Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Magnetite-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and Methanosarcina species is increasingly being invoked to explain magnetite stimulation of methane production in anaerobic soils and sediments.

Environment International, 2020 Interspecies electron transfer plays an important role in syntrophic methanogenesis. Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between syntrophic oxidizers and methanogens via conductive pili has been only confirmed in some specific co-cultures.

The Restorative Effects of Electron Mediators on the Formation of Electroactive Biofilms in Geobacter sulfurreducens [PDF]
MicroorganismsElectroactive biofilms (EABs) are essential for the performance of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), but their formation in Geobacter, critically on conductive pili and exopolysaccharides, limits application under conditions where these components are ...

Genome-centric metagenomics reveals electroactive syntrophs in a conductive particle-dependent consortium from coastal sediments [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsConductive particles are common in coastal sediments, yet their role in shaping methane-producing communities and pathways remains unclear. We applied genome-resolved metagenomics to a sediment-derived consortium serially transferred for a decade and ...

Microbially driven methane and sulfur cycling processes and coupling mechanisms in mangrove sediments [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Methane (CH4) as a powerful greenhouse gas is the second largest contributor to global climate warming. Mangrove sediments are an important natural source of biogenic CH4 with rich organic carbon (C) and diverse sulfur (S) compounds, ideally ...
