Direct interspecies electron transfer mechanisms of a biochar-amended anaerobic digestion: a review [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 This paper explores the mechanisms of biochar that facilitate direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) among syntrophic microorganisms leading to improved anaerobic digestion.

Theoretical characterisation of electron tunnelling from granular activated carbon to electron accepting organisms in direct interspecies electron transfer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been identified as an efficient metabolism between symbiotically interacting organisms. One method of DIET uses conductive materials (e.g., granular activated carbon (GAC)) as a medium to shuttle electrons

Methane production by Methanothrix thermoacetophila via direct interspecies electron transfer with Geobacter metallireducens [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Methanothrix is widely distributed in natural and artificial anoxic environments and plays a major role in global methane emissions. It is one of only two genera that can form methane from acetate dismutation and through participation in direct ...

Different outer membrane c‐type cytochromes are involved in direct interspecies electron transfer to Geobacter or Methanosarcina species [PDF]
mLife, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) may be most important in methanogenic environments, but mechanistic studies of DIET to date have primarily focused on cocultures in which fumarate was the terminal electron acceptor.

Electron and Proton Flux for Carbon Dioxide Reduction in Methanosarcina barkeri During Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is important in diverse methanogenic environments, but how methanogens participate in DIET is poorly understood.

Transcriptomic and genetic analysis of direct interspecies electron transfer. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2013 ABSTRACT The possibility that metatranscriptomic analysis could distinguish between direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) and H 2 interspecies transfer (HIT) in anaerobic communities was investigated by comparing gene transcript abundance in cocultures in which Geobacter sulfurreducens

Modelling extracellular limitations for mediated versus direct interspecies electron transfer. [PDF]
ISME J, 2016 Abstract Interspecies electron transfer (IET) is important for many anaerobic processes, but is critically dependent on mode of transfer. In particular, direct IET (DIET) has been recently proposed as a metabolically advantageous mode compared with mediated IET (MIET) via hydrogen or formate.

Direct interspecies electron transfer between Geobacter metallireducens and Methanosarcina barkeri. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2014 ABSTRACT Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is potentially an effective form of syntrophy in methanogenic communities, but little is known about the diversity of methanogens capable of DIET. The ability of Methanosarcina barkeri to participate in DIET was evaluated in coculture with ...

Expanding the Diet for DIET: Electron Donors Supporting Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET) in Defined Co-Cultures [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been recognized as an alternative to interspecies H2 transfer as a mechanism for syntrophic growth, but previous studies on DIET with defined co-cultures have only documented DIET with ethanol as the ...
