Sulfate biosensor for environmental applications
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 20, Issue 10, Page 674-681, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Sulfate is present in all freshwater and marine environments and is reduced to toxic and corrosive hydrogen sulfide by anaerobic bacteria. By measuring depth profiles of sulfate in sediments, it is possible to obtain estimates of sulfate reduction rates (SRRs).

Redox Mediators in Microbial Electrochemical Systems
ChemElectroChem, Volume 9, Issue 13, July 14, 2022., 2022 Electron transfer mechanisms: in microbial electrochemical systems is crucial for understanding and optimizing these processes. This review focused on mediated electron transfer and gave the reader a handbook for mediator selection by stating the relevant redox potentials and microbial interaction sites. Furthermore, the review focused on what mediator

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 419-433, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal and shelf sediments are central in the global nitrogen (N) cycle as important sites for the removal of fixed N. However, this ecosystem service can be hampered by ongoing deoxygenation in many coastal areas. Natural reoxygenation could reinstate anoxic sediments as sites where fixed N is removed efficiently. To investigate this further,

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Sustained bioenergy production from organisms that thrive in high salinity, low oxygen, and low nutrition levels is useful in monitoring hypersaline polluted environments. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) studies utilizing single species halophiles under salt concentrations higher than 1 M and as a closed microbial system are limited.

New Phytologist, Volume 232, Issue 5, Page 2138-2151, December 2021., 2021 Summary Cable bacteria are sulfide‐oxidising, filamentous bacteria that reduce toxic sulfide levels, suppress methane emissions and drive nutrient and carbon cycling in sediments. Recently, cable bacteria have been found associated with roots of aquatic plants and rice (Oryza sativa).

Innovative biological approaches for monitoring and improving water quality
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Water quality is largely influenced by the abundance and diversity of indigenous microbes present within an aquatic environment. Physical, chemical and biological contaminants from anthropogenic activities can accumulate in aquatic systems causing ...

The Archaellum of
mBio, 2019 Microbially produced electrically conductive protein filaments are of interest because they can function as conduits for long-range biological electron transfer. They also show promise as sustainably produced electronic materials.
