Large Filamentous Bacteria Isolated From Sulphidic Sediments Reveal Novel Species and Distinct Energy and Defence Mechanisms for Survival. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolIn this study, we used micromanipulation and omics to analyse 15 large filamentous bacteria collected from sulphidic sediments off Chile. We discovered novel species from various phyla, and diverse metabolic pathways and defence mechanisms were identified, highlighting their adaptability to the sediment–water interface and resilience against phage ...

Electromicrobiology of Dissimilatory Sulfur Reducing Bacterium Desulfuromonas acetexigens
, 2014 Bioelectrochmical systems (BES) are engineered electrochemical devices that harness hidden chemical energy of the wastewater in to the form of electricity or hydrogen. Unique microbial communities enrich in these systems for oxidation of organic matter as well as transfer of resulted electron to anode, known them as “electricigens” communities ...

The reproduction process of Gram-positive protocells [PDF]
Scientific ReportsProtocells are believed to have existed on early Earth prior to the emergence of prokaryotes. Due to their rudimentary nature, it is widely accepted that these protocells lacked intracellular mechanisms to regulate their reproduction, thereby relying ...

Detrimental impact of the <i>Geobacter metallireducens</i> type VI secretion system on direct interspecies electron transfer. [PDF]
Microbiol Spectr, 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 ...
