The Functional Mechanisms and Application of Electron Shuttles in Extracellular Electron Transfer

Current Microbiology, 2017
Electron shuttles extensively exist in various environments. Some kinds of organic substances can be applied by microorganisms to produce electrons, and then the electrons can be transferred to other substances or microorganisms through electron shuttles, resulting in coexistence and interaction of diverse species of microbes.

Extracellular Electron Transfer and Biosensors

2017
This chapter summarizes in the beginning our current understanding of extracellular electron transport processes in organisms belonging to the genera Shewanella and Geobacter. Organisms belonging to these genera developed strategies to transport respiratory electrons to the cell surface that are defined by modules of which some seem to be rather unique

Extracellular electron transfer features of Gram-positive bacteria

Analytica Chimica Acta, 2019
Electroactive microorganisms possess the unique ability to transfer electrons to or from solid phase electron conductors, e.g., electrodes or minerals, through various physiological mechanisms. The processes are commonly known as extracellular electron transfer and broadly harnessed in microbial electrochemical systems, such as microbial biosensors ...

Nanomaterials Facilitating Microbial Extracellular Electron Transfer at Interfaces

Advanced Materials, 2020
AbstractElectrochemically active bacteria can transport their metabolically generated electrons to anodes, or accept electrons from cathodes to synthesize high‐value chemicals and fuels, via a process known as extracellular electron transfer (EET). Harnessing of this microbial EET process has led to the development of microbial bio‐electrochemical ...

Humic Substances and Extracellular Electron Transfer

2012
Humic substances (HS) are redox-active organic molecules that are present in virtually all environments. A wide variety of bacteria including Fe(III)-reducers, sulfate reducers, methanogens, and fermenting bacteria can reduce HS and in a second, abiotic step, the reduced HS can transfer their electrons to terminal electron acceptors such as poorly ...

Extracellular electron transfer mechanisms between microorganisms and minerals

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2016
Electrons can be transferred from microorganisms to multivalent metal ions that are associated with minerals and vice versa. As the microbial cell envelope is neither physically permeable to minerals nor electrically conductive, microorganisms have evolved strategies to exchange electrons with extracellular minerals.

On the Role of Endogenous Electron Shuttles in Extracellular Electron Transfer

2012
As a result of cellular metabolism, microbes dramatically alter the chemistry of environments in which they live. Microbes directly influence cycling of metals in the environment via respiratory redox transformations, often influencing solubility and toxicity of these metals by altering their redox state.
