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

Comparison of cable bacteria genera reveals details of their conduction machinery [PDF]
EMBO ReportsCable bacteria are centimeter-long multicellular bacteria conducting electricity through periplasmic conductive fibers (PCFs). Using single-strain enrichments of the genera Electrothrix and Electronema we systematically investigate variations and ...

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)

Extracellular electron transfer genes expressed by candidate flocking bacteria in cable bacteria sediment [PDF]
mSystemsCable bacteria, filamentous sulfide oxidizers that live in sulfidic sediments, are at times associated with large flocks of swimming bacteria. It has been proposed that these flocks of bacteria transport electrons extracellularly to cable bacteria via an

Exploring METland Technology: treating wastewater by integrating electromicrobiology into Nature-based Solutions [PDF]
, 2021 El agua, además de ser fuente de vida, es un factor indispensable para un desarrollo social, económico y medioambiental. Actualmente, el uso global de agua se ha multiplicado por seis en los últimos 100 años, y continúa aumentando. Lo que antes era un bien de primera necesidad accesible a la mayoría de la población, ahora ha llegado a cotizar en bolsa (
