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.

Disentangling the syntrophic electron transfer mechanisms of Candidatus geobacter eutrophica through electrochemical stimulation and machine learning

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Interspecies hydrogen transfer (IHT) and direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) are two syntrophy models for methanogenesis. Their relative importance in methanogenic environments is still unclear. Our recent discovery of a novel species Candidatus

Bacterial‐Electrochemical Platform Utilizing a MXene‐Peptide Hydrogel

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 52, 29 June 2026.
A peptide‐based fibrillar hydrogel incorporating MXene facilitates efficient electron delivery to intracellular recombinant [FeFe]‐hydrogenase enzyme in E. coli, enabling sustained bioelectrochemical H2 production without engineered exoelectrogenicity pathways.

Biochar as an electron shuttle for reductive dechlorination of pentachlorophenol by Geobacter sulfurreducens

open access: yes, 2015
The reductive dechlorination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by Geobacter sulfurreducens in the presence of different biochars was investigated to understand how biochars affect the bioreduction of environmental contaminants.

Nature's Nanotech Warriors: The Role of Metalloproteins and Protein Cages for Environmental Remediation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cartoon representation of five major classes of metalloproteins and their brief mechanisms of bioremediation. The five classes include metallothioneins, metal‐precipitating enzymes, P.‐type ATPases, protein cages, and synthetic metalloproteins (de novo‐designed proteins/peptides for selective adsorption). These natural and engineered protein structures

Cultivation of Electrogens With Cost‐Effective Membrane‐Less Bioreactor Designs

open access: yesFuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rational improvements in bioreactor design for scaling up power generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are discussed in this study. The potential of autoclavable MFCs for isolating electroactive bacteria that produce sustainable electricity is being investigated.

Investigation of Chemotaxis Genes and Their Functions in Geobacter Species

open access: yes, 2009
Geobacter species are δ-Proteobacteria and are often predominant in the Fe(III) reduction zone of sedimentary environments. Their abilities to remediate contaminated environments and to produce electricity have inspired extensive studies. Cell motility,

Analysis of the heterogenous structural states of the hexameric ATPase PilU of the type IV pili from Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Type IV pili (T4P) mediate surface motility, host interactions, and DNA uptake through cycles of extension and retraction. While the primary retraction ATPase PilT has been extensively characterized, its homolog PilU remains less well understood despite being demonstrated as a PilT‐dependent retraction ATPase.
