Structural Basis for the Influence of A1, 5A, and W51W57 Mutations on the Conductivity of the Geobacter sulfurreducens Pili

Crystals, 2017
The metallic-like conductivity of the Geobacter sulfurreducens pilus and higher conductivity of its mutants reflected that biological synthesis can be utilized to improve the properties of electrically conductive pili.

Detecting Excess Biofilm Thickness in Microbial Electrolysis Cells by Real‐Time In‐Situ Biofilm Monitoring

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 122, Issue 8, Page 2049-2062, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Long‐term stable operation of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) presupposes the avoidance of mass transfer limitations of the electroactive biofilm. Excessive pH‐gradients from bulk to electrode interface or substrate limitations of the electroactive biofilm are known to diminish the electrical performance of BES.

Lack of physiological evidence for cytochrome filaments functioning as conduits for extracellular electron transfer

mBio
Extracellular cytochrome filaments are proposed to serve as conduits for long-range extracellular electron transfer. The primary functional physiological evidence has been the reported inhibition of Geobacter sulfurreducens Fe(III) oxide reduction when ...

Importance of c-Type cytochromes for U(VI) reduction by Geobacter sulfurreducens

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background In order to study the mechanism of U(VI) reduction, the effect of deleting c-type cytochrome genes on the capacity of Geobacter sulfurreducens to reduce U(VI) with acetate serving as the electron donor was investigated.

Extracellular electron transfer proteins contribute to reduction of ferric minerals by Geobacter biofilms

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
To investigate how the thickness and extracellular electron transfer (EET) capabilities of microbial biofilms influence the reduction of ferric iron [Fe(III)]-containing minerals, we utilized four strains of Geobacter sulfurreducens with varying biofilm ...
