Expanding the Diet for DIET: Electron Donors Supporting Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET) in Defined Co-Cultures [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been recognized as an alternative to interspecies H2 transfer as a mechanism for syntrophic growth, but previous studies on DIET with defined co-cultures have only documented DIET with ethanol as the ...

Analysis of Mechanisms for Electron Uptake by <i>Methanothrix harundinacea</i> 6Ac During Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is a syntrophic metabolism wherein free electrons are directly transferred between microorganisms without the mediation of intermediates such as molecular hydrogen or formate. Previous research has demonstrated that Methanothrix harundinacea 6Ac is capable of reducing carbon dioxide through DIET.

Geobacter Strains Expressing Poorly Conductive Pili Reveal Constraints on Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Mechanisms [PDF]

mBio, 2018
Cytochrome-to-cytochrome electron transfer and electron transfer along conduits of multiple extracellular magnetite grains are often proposed as strategies for direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) that do not require electrically conductive pili (

Syntrophic growth with direct interspecies electron transfer between pili-free Geobacter species. [PDF]

ISME J, 2018
Abstract Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) may prevail in microbial communities that show methanogenesis and anaerobic methane oxidation and can be an electron source to support anaerobic photosynthesis. Previous mutagenic studies on cocultures of defined Geobacter species indicate that both conductive pili and extracellular ...

Mechanisms of Direct Electron Transfer Governed by Redox‐Active Conductive Carrier with Superior Wettability in Anaerobic Biofilms [PDF]

Advanced Science
Biofilms cultivated on conductive carriers emerge as promising systems for enhancing anaerobic wastewater treatment, while the underlying electron transfer mechanisms remain insufficiently elucidated. Herein, a redox‐active conductive carrier composed of

Methanobacterium Capable of Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2020
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) from bacteria to methanogens is a revolutionary concept for syntrophic metabolism in methanogenic soils/sediments and anaerobic digestion. Previous studies have indicated that the potential for DIET is limited to methanogens in the Methanosarcinales, leading to the assumption that an abundance of other types

Enhancing methane production from food waste fermentate using biochar. The added value of electrochemical testing in pre-selecting the most effective type of biochar [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Recent studies have suggested that addition of electrically conductive biochar particles is an effective strategy to improve the methanogenic conversion of waste organic substrates, by promoting syntrophic associations between acetogenic and ...

Putative Extracellular Electron Transfer in Methanogenic Archaea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
It has been suggested that a few methanogens are capable of extracellular electron transfers. For instance, Methanosarcina barkeri can directly capture electrons from the coexisting microbial cells of other species.
