Biofilm Biology and Engineering of Geobacter and Shewanella spp. for Energy Applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Geobacter and Shewanella spp. were discovered in late 1980s as dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganisms that can transfer electrons from cytoplasmic respiratory oxidation reactions to external metal-containing minerals.

The Restorative Effects of Electron Mediators on the Formation of Electroactive Biofilms in Geobacter sulfurreducens [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Electroactive biofilms (EABs) are essential for the performance of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), but their formation in Geobacter, critically on conductive pili and exopolysaccharides, limits application under conditions where these components are ...

Two Modes of Riboflavin-Mediated Extracellular Electron Transfer in Geobacter uraniireducens

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Anaerobes respire extracellular electron acceptors by extracellular electron transfer (EET). It is widely recognized that flavins can act as electron shuttles to facilitate this process. Flavin synthesis genes are widely distributed in Geobacter species.

Syntrophic Growth of Geobacter sulfurreducens Accelerates Anaerobic Denitrification

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Nitrate is considered as a contamination since it’s over discharging to water incurs environmental problems. However, nitrate is an ideal electron sink for anaerobic pollutant degraders desiring electron acceptors due to the high redox potential ...

Integrative analysis of Geobacter spp. and sulfate-reducing bacteria during uranium bioremediation [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2012
Enhancing microbial U(VI) reduction with the addition of organic electron donors is a promising strategy for immobilizing uranium in contaminated groundwaters, but has yet to be optimized because of a poor understanding of the factors controlling the ...

Electrochemical Characterization of the Periplasmic PpcA c‐Cytochrome of Geobacter sulfurreducens Reveals Its Affinity for Uranium

open access: yesChemElectroChem, 2023
Geobacter bacteria produce conductive pili appendages and an outer membrane‐anchored lipopolysaccharide to immobilize uranium extracellularly. Yet, some radionuclide enters the cell envelope, where is rapidly mineralized by periplasmic c‐cytochromes.

Development of a whole-cell biosensor based on an ArsR-Pars regulatory circuit from Geobacter sulfurreducens

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2021
In this study, an Escherichia coli (E. coli) whole-cell biosensor for the specific detection of bioavailable arsenic was developed by placing a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene under the control of the ArsR1 (GSU2952) regulatory circuit from
