Mechanisms of Bacterial Extracellular Electron Exchange. [PDF]
The biochemical mechanisms by which microbes interact with extracellular soluble metal ions and insoluble redox-active minerals have been the focus of intense research over the last three decades. The process presents two challenges to the microorganism;

Protein film voltammetry (PFV) is used to interrogate the behavior of a variety of bacterial and mitochondrial His/Met-ligated cytochromes c. While analogous studies upon alkanethiol-modified gold electrodes reveal the anticipated Fe(II/III) couple only,

Multi-heme Cytochromes in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1:Structures, functions and opportunities [PDF]
Multi-heme cytochromes are employed by a range of microorganisms to transport electrons over distances of up to tens of nanometers. Perhaps the most spectacular utilization of these proteins is in the reduction of extracellular solid substrates ...

The role of biotransformation processes in mediating interactions between psychotropic drugs and natural products [PDF]
Many patients are not aware that natural products such as fruit juices or plant infusions can cause significant interactions with several drugs, some of which can be dangerous, especially when the medical treatment is for neurological or psychiatric ...

Importance of
Background In order to study the mechanism of U(VI) reduction, the effect of deleting c-type cytochrome genes on the capacity of Geobacter sulfurreducens to reduce U(VI) with acetate serving as the electron donor was investigated.

Unique organizational and functional features of the cytochrome c maturation system in Shewanella oneidensis. [PDF]
Shewanella are renowned for their ability to respire on a wide range of electron acceptors, which has been partially accredited to the presence of a large number of the c-type cytochromes. In the model species S. oneidensis MR-1, at least 41 genes encode

Redox linked flavin sites in extracellular decaheme proteins involved in microbe-mineral electron transfer [PDF]
Extracellular microbe-mineral electron transfer is a major driving force for the oxidation of organic carbon in many subsurface environments. Extracellular multi-heme cytochromes of the Shewenella genus play a major role in this process but the mechanism
