Bacterial community of sediments under the Eastern Boundary Current System shows high microdiversity and a latitudinal spatial pattern [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The sediments under the Oxygen Minimum Zone of the Eastern Boundary Current System (EBCS) along Central-South Peru and North-Central Chile, known as Humboldt Sulfuretum (HS), is an organic-matter-rich benthic habitat, where bacteria process a variety of ...

Cable bacteria with electric connection to oxygen attract flocks of diverse bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Cable bacteria are centimeter-long filamentous microbes that conduct electrons via internal wires, thus coupling sulfide oxidation between sediment layers. Here, Bjerg et al. show that the anoxic part of oxygen-respiring cable bacteria attracts swarms of

Persistent flocks of diverse motile bacteria in long-term incubations of electron-conducting cable bacteria, Candidatus Electronema aureum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Cable bacteria are centimeters-long filamentous bacteria that oxidize sulfide in anoxic sediment layers and reduce oxygen at the oxic-anoxic interface, connecting these reactions via electron transport.

Genetic Manipulation of Desulfovibrio ferrophilus and Evaluation of Fe(III) Oxide Reduction Mechanisms [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The sulfate-reducing microbe Desulfovibrio ferrophilus is of interest due to its relatively rare ability to also grow with Fe(III) oxide as an electron acceptor and its rapid corrosion of metallic iron. Previous studies have suggested multiple agents for

Perspectives on Microbial Electron Transfer Networks for Environmental Biotechnology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The overlap of microbiology and electrochemistry provides plenty of opportunities for a deeper understanding of the redox biogeochemical cycle of natural-abundant elements (like iron, nitrogen, and sulfur) on Earth. The electroactive microorganisms (EAMs)
