Evolution of electron transfer out of the cell: comparative genomics of six Geobacter genomes

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Geobacter species grow by transferring electrons out of the cell - either to Fe(III)-oxides or to man-made substances like energy-harvesting electrodes.

Metabolic Design Patterns for a Regenerative Architecture

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
This simplified diagram illustrates the three core Metabolic Design Patterns: Toilet as Hearth, Kitchen Garden, and Greywater Wetland, which form the foundation of a regenerative domestic infrastructure. Each pattern integrates bioelectrical systems (BES) and bioreactors into recognisable domestic programmes, transforming waste streams into resources ...

Investigation of Chemotaxis Genes and Their Functions in Geobacter Species

, 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,

Bottom-Up Fabrication of Protein Nanowires via Controlled Self-Assembly of Recombinant Geobacter Pilins

mBio, 2019
Metal-reducing bacteria in the genus Geobacter use a complex protein apparatus to guide the self-assembly of a divergent type IVa pilin peptide and synthesize conductive pilus appendages that show promise for the sustainable manufacturing of protein ...

Determining incremental coulombic efficiency and physiological parameters of early stage Geobacter spp. enrichment biofilms.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Geobacter spp. enrichment biofilms were cultivated in batch using one-chamber and two-chamber bioelectrochemical reactors. Time-resolved substrate quantification was performed to derive physiological parameters as well as incremental coulombic efficiency

Cobalt Resistance via Detoxification and Mineralization in the Iron-Reducing Bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria in the genus Geobacter thrive in iron- and manganese-rich environments where the divalent cobalt cation (CoII) accumulates to potentially toxic concentrations.

Synergistic Design of Biomass Materials for Moisture‐Induced Electricity Generation

CleanMat, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 214-225, September 2026.
This review explores moisture‐induced electricity generation using natural biomass platforms. It explains how intrinsic polar groups and hierarchical pore networks drive ambient water adsorption, ion dissociation, and directional charge transport.

Understanding the Influence of the Electrode Material on Microbial Fuel Cell Performance [PDF]

, 2013
In this thesis, I deploy sets of electrodes into microbial fuel cells (MFC), characterize their performance, and evaluate the influence of both platinum catalysts and carbon-based electrodes on current production.

The Low Conductivity of Geobacter uraniireducens Pili Suggests a Diversity of Extracellular Electron Transfer Mechanisms in the Genus Geobacter

, 2016
Studies on the mechanisms for extracellular electron transfer in Geobacter species have primarily focused on Geobacter sulfurreducens, but the poor conservation of genes for some electron transfer components within the Geobacter genus suggests that there
