Plugging in or Going Wireless:Strategies for Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Interspecies exchange of electrons enables a diversity of microbial communities to gain energy from reactions that no one microbe can catalyze. The first recognized strategies for interspecies electron transfer were those that relied on chemical ...

Microbial Conversion of Glycerol Into 1,3‐Propanediol by Fermentation: Review of Fundamentals and Operational Strategies

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
This review highlights recent advances in microbial fermentation strategies for converting glycerol, a biodiesel by‐product, into 1,3‐propanediol. It discusses metabolic pathways, microbial inocula and key operational parameters to optimise production, supporting sustainable chemical synthesis aligned with circular economy principles. ABSTRACT Over the

Advancements in flexible memristors for neuromorphic computing: Materials, mechanisms, and applications in synaptic emulation

open access: yesFlexMat, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 390-419, October 2025.
Memristors, as the fourth fundamental passive circuit element, are promising devices that can mimic synaptic functions in neural networks due to their nonlinear memory characteristics. This paper reviews recent advancements in material selection, resistive switching mechanisms, and flexible memristor architectures for artificial neural networks ...

Characterization and modelling of interspecies electron transfer mechanisms and microbial community dynamics of a syntrophic association [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Syntrophic associations are central to microbial communities and thus have a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle. Despite biochemical approaches describing the physiological activity of these communities, there has been a lack of a mechanistic ...

Current Practices for Analyzing Soils and Sediments via Mössbauer Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 5, Page 742-773, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental scientists are increasingly returning to Mössbauer spectroscopy (MBS) to reveal details about iron (Fe)‐bearing phases in soils and sediments. MBS is particularly powerful at distinguishing between Fe(II) and Fe(III) and, given appropriate background information, can offer exceptionally precise information on Fe speciation in ...

Possible role of Geobacter sulfurreducens in anaerobic corrosion of steels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Geobacteraceae are the most widespread microorganisms in soils and sediments in which microbial reduction of Fe(III) is an important process, either in the natural degradation of organic compounds or in their bioremediation.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

Forming microbial anodes under delayed polarisation modifies the electron transfer network and decreases the polarisation time required. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Microbial anodes were formed from compost leachate on carbon cloth electrodes. The biofilms formed at the surface of electrodes kept at open circuit contained microorganisms that switched their metabolism towards electrode respiration in response to a ...
