Impact of Native Environment in Multiheme-Cytochrome Chains of the MtrCAB Complex
MtrCAB protein complex plays a crucial role in exporting electrons through the outer membrane (OM) to external acceptors. This complex consists of three proteins and contains 20 hemes. Optimal protein-protein interactions and, consequently, heme-heme interactions facilitate efficient electron transfer through the conduit of hemes.

EPR determination of interaction redox potentials in a multiheme cytochrome: cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway [PDF]
In cytochromes c3 which contain four hemes per molecule, the redox properties of each heme may depend upon the redox state of the others. This effect can be described in terms of interaction redox potentials between the hemes and must be taken into account in the characterization of the redox properties of the molecule.

Microbial respiration with chlorine oxyanions: diversity and physiological and biochemical properties of chlorate- and perchlorate-reducing microorganisms [PDF]
Chlorine oxyanions are valuable electron acceptors for microorganisms. Recent findings have shed light on the natural formation of chlorine oxyanions in the environment. These suggest a permanent introduction of respective compounds on Earth, long before

Redox mediators are essential to promote the electrogenic activity of cyanobacteria in biophotovoltaics. In this work, we systematically evaluates three representative mediators about their influence on the cyanobacterial growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and electrogenic activity. The results reveal distinct impacts of different mediators, despite of

Transferable denitrification capability of thermus thermophilus [PDF]
Laboratory-adapted strains of Thermus spp. have been shown to require oxygen for growth, including the model strains T. thermophilus HB27 and HB8. In contrast, many isolates of this species that have not been intensively grown under laboratory conditions

Dominance of Candidatus Scalindua species in anammox community revealed in soils with different duration of rice paddy cultivation in Northeast China [PDF]
The anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria play an important role in the oxygen-limited zone for nitrogen cycling, but their roles in agricultural ecosystems are still poorly understood.

Engineered Cell Elongation Promotes Extracellular Electron Transfer of Shewanella Oneidensis
This work investigates how cell elongation impacts the extracellular electron transfer of Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 via genetic engineering to inhibit divisome formation. The electrophysiology of cell elongation is systematically elucidated in terms of intracellular generation, trans‐membrane transfer, and biofilm formation.

Ecophysiology of Freshwater Verrucomicrobia Inferred from Metagenome-Assembled Genomes
Microbes are critical in carbon and nutrient cycling in freshwater ecosystems. Members of the Verrucomicrobia are ubiquitous in such systems, and yet their roles and ecophysiology are not well understood.
