The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an effective mechanism for microbial species to exchange electrons cooperatively during syntrophic metabolism. It is generally accepted that DIET is mainly mediated by electrically conductive pili and outer
