Real-Time Monitoring of Subsurface Microbial Metabolism with Graphite Electrodes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Monitoring in situ microbial activity in anaerobic submerged soils and aquatic sediments can be labor intensive and technically difficult, especially in dynamic environments in which a record of changes in microbial activity over time is desired ...

Microbes, cables, and an electrical touch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In nature, highly efficient and diverse consortia of microbes cycle carbon and other elements while generating energy for growth. Driving these reactions are organisms with the ability to extract electrons from the chemical substrates and transfer them ...

e-Biologics: Fabrication of Sustainable Electronics with “Green” Biological Materials

open access: yesmBio, 2017
The growing ubiquity of electronic devices is increasingly consuming substantial energy and rare resources for materials fabrication, as well as creating expansive volumes of toxic waste. This is not sustainable.

Comparative proteomics of a versatile, marine, iron‐oxidizing chemolithoautotroph

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2024.
In this study, we identified proteins that were upregulated under iron‐oxidizing conditions. Notably, we highlight a periplasmic di‐heme cytochrome c that is associated with a putative redox complex spanning the inner membrane, periplasm, outer membrane, and extracellular space.

Kabelbakterienskelette als katalytisch aktive Elektroden

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 6, February 5, 2024.
Biologische Kabel als Elektroden: Elektrisch leitfähige filamentöse Kabelbakterienskelette wurden als freistehende biologische Elektroden verwendet und zeigen eine katalytische Selektivität für Sauerstoff. Die Skelette wandeln Wasser in Sauerstoff um, und umgekehrt, Sauerstoff zurück zu Wasser.

Differences in Applied Redox Potential on Cathodes Enrich for Diverse Electrochemically Active Microbial Isolates From a Marine Sediment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The diversity of microbially mediated redox processes that occur in marine sediments is likely underestimated, especially with respect to the metabolisms that involve solid substrate electron donors or acceptors.

Insights into the various mechanisms by which Shewanella spp. induce and inhibit steel corrosion

open access: yesnpj Materials Degradation, 2023
Shewanella species are frequently selected as model strains to investigate microbially influenced steel corrosion. This selection is due to their relevance for corrosion, but also because of their easy cultivation in aerobic media.

Resolving Chemical Gradients Around Seagrass Roots—A Review of Available Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Steep geochemical gradients surround roots and rhizomes of seagrass and protect the plants against the harsh conditions in anoxic sediment, while enabling nutrient uptake.

Cable Bacteria Skeletons as Catalytically Active Electrodes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 63, Issue 6, February 5, 2024.
Biological cables as electrodes: Electrically conducting filamentous cable bacteria skeletons were used as free‐standing biological electrodes and displayed catalytic selectivity towards oxygen. The skeletons convert water to oxygen and oxygen back to water.

Isolation and characterization of electrochemically active subsurface Delftia and Azonexus species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Continental subsurface environments can present significant energetic challenges to the resident microorganisms. While these environments are geologically diverse, potentially allowing energy harvesting by microorganisms that catalyze redox reactions ...
