The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an effective mechanism for microbial species to exchange electrons cooperatively during syntrophic metabolism. It is generally accepted that DIET is mainly mediated by electrically conductive pili and outer

Detrimental impact of the Geobacter metallireducens type VI secretion system on direct interspecies electron transfer [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is important in anaerobic communities of environmental and practical significance. Other than the need for close physical contact for electrical connections, the interactions of DIET partners are poorly ...

Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Mediated by Graphene Oxide-Based Materials [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Conductive materials are known to promote direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) by electrically bridging microbial cells. Previous studies have suggested that supplementation of graphene oxide (GO) based materials, including GO, and reduced GO ...

Theoretical characterisation of electron tunnelling from granular activated carbon to electron accepting organisms in direct interspecies electron transfer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been identified as an efficient metabolism between symbiotically interacting organisms. One method of DIET uses conductive materials (e.g., granular activated carbon (GAC)) as a medium to shuttle electrons

Sparking Anaerobic Digestion: Promoting Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer to Enhance Methane Production [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Anaerobic digestion was one of the first bioenergy strategies developed, yet the interactions of the microbial community that is responsible for the production of methane are still poorly understood. For example, it has only recently been recognized that

Methane production by Methanothrix thermoacetophila via direct interspecies electron transfer with Geobacter metallireducens [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Methanothrix is widely distributed in natural and artificial anoxic environments and plays a major role in global methane emissions. It is one of only two genera that can form methane from acetate dismutation and through participation in direct ...

Different outer membrane c‐type cytochromes are involved in direct interspecies electron transfer to Geobacter or Methanosarcina species [PDF]
mLife, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) may be most important in methanogenic environments, but mechanistic studies of DIET to date have primarily focused on cocultures in which fumarate was the terminal electron acceptor.
