Comparative transcriptomic insights into the mechanisms of electron transfer in Geobacter co-cultures with activated carbon and magnetite [PDF]

, 2017
Both activated carbon and magnetite have been reported to promote the syntrophic growth of Geobacter metallireducens and Geobacter sulfurreducens co-cultures, the first model to show direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET); however, differential ...

Type IVB pili are required for invasion but not for adhesion of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi into BHK epithelial cells in a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-independent manner

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2011
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been proposed as an epithelial cell receptor for the entry of Salmonella Typhi but not Salmonella Typhimurium. The bacterial ligand recognized by CFTR is thought to reside either in the S. Typhi lipopolysaccharide core region or in the type IV pili.

Comparative genomic analysis of Geobacter sulfurreducens KN400, a strain with enhanced capacity for extracellular electron transfer and electricity production

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background A new strain of Geobacter sulfurreducens, strain KN400, produces more electrical current in microbial fuel cells and reduces insoluble Fe(III) oxides much faster than the wildtype strain, PCA.

Distinct effects of conductive materials on anaerobic sulfate-rich wastewater treatment under varying operational modes [PDF]

Conductive materials (CMs) have shown great potential in enhancing anaerobic digestion of sulfate-rich wastewater by improving electron transfer. However, how the effectiveness of CMs varies under different reactor operational modes that shape microbial ...

Scanning probe microscopy of protein nanowires [PDF]

, 2013
The bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens grows electrically-conductive pili, which act as protein nanowires, in order to transfer electrons from the cell to electron acceptors in its environment when direct charge transfer through the cell membrane is not ...

Magnetite compensates for the lack of a pilin-associated c-type cytochrome in extracellular electron exchange [PDF]

, 2015
Nanoscale magnetite can facilitate microbial extracellular electron transfer that plays an important role in biogeochemical cycles, bioremediation and several bioenergy strategies, but the mechanisms for the stimulation of extracellular electron transfer
