Electro-microbiology as a promising approach towards renewable energy and environmental sustainability [PDF]

, 2018
Microbial electrochemical technologies provide sustainable wastewater treatment and energy production. Despite significant improvements in the power output of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), this technology is still far from practical applications ...

Geobacter grbiciae—A New Electron Donor in the Formation of Co-Cultures via Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Microbiology Research, 2023
Geobacter grbiciae can grow via coupling oxidation of ethanol to the reduction of various forms of soluble Fe(III) and poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide, suggesting that G.

An underappreciated DIET for anaerobic petroleum hydrocarbon‐degrading microbial communities [PDF]

, 2021
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) via electrically conductive minerals can play a role in the anaerobic oxidation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated sites and can be exploited for the development of new, more effective bioremediation ...

Link Between Capacity for Current Production and Syntrophic Growth in Geobacter species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Electrodes are unnatural electron acceptors, and it is yet unknown how some Geobacter species evolved to use electrodes as terminal electron acceptors.

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]

, 2012
The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

Effects of Magnetite (Fe3O4) as an Electrical Conductor of Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer on Methane Production from Food Wastewater in a Plug Flow Reactor

Processes, 2023
This study was conducted in order to examine the impact of magnetite (Fe3O4), a conductive material capable of promoting direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) among microorganisms, on the efficiency of anaerobic digestion in a plug flow reactor ...

A modeling approach to direct interspecies electron transfer process in anaerobic transformation of ethanol to methane [PDF]

, 2017
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Recent studies have shown that direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) plays an important part in contributing to methane production from anaerobic digestion. However, so far anaerobic digestion models that

Physiological potential and evolutionary trajectories of syntrophic sulfate-reducing bacterial partners of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea.

PLoS Biology, 2023
Sulfate-coupled anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is performed by multicellular consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) in obligate syntrophic partnership with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB).

Reverse methanogenesis and respiration in methanotrophic archaea [PDF]

, 2017
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is catalyzed by anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) via a reverse and modified methanogenesis pathway. Methanogens can also reverse the methanogenesis pathway to oxidize methane, but only during net methane ...
