This review maps how electroenzymatic cascades that couple nitrogen‐cycle enzymes with C─N bond forming auxilary enzymes, powered by direct electron transfer (DET) or mediated electron transfer (MET), can upgrade N2 and waste nitrogen streams into value‐added amines, amides, amino acids, and other nitrogen‐based chemicals.

Solar‐Driven Methanogenesis through Microbial Ecosystem Engineering on Carbon Nitride
Microbial ecosystem engineering enables efficient solar‐driven methanogenesis over a biohybrid photocatalyst. The syntrophic coculture of Methanosarcina barkeri (M. barkeri) with the electron transport specialist Geobacter sulfurreducens KN400 (KN400) over carbon nitride produced a semi‐biological photocatalyst for the sunlight‐driven methane synthesis

Reverse methanogenesis and respiration in methanotrophic archaea [PDF]
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is catalyzed by anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) via a reverse and modified methanogenesis pathway. Methanogens can also reverse the methanogenesis pathway to oxidize methane, but only during net methane ...

Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis: Designing Ultrafast Photosensitized Electron Transfer into Multiheme Cytochrome Protein Nanowires [PDF]
Efficient nanomaterials for artificial photosynthesis require fast and robust unidirectional electron transfer (ET) from photosensitizers through charge-separation and accumulation units to redox-active catalytic sites. We explored the ultrafast time-scale limits of photo-induced charge transfer between a Ru(II)tris(bipyridine) derivative ...

Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...

Redox-linked conformational changes of a multiheme cytochrome from Geobacter sulfurreducens
Multiheme c-type cytochromes from members of the Desulfovibrionacea and Geobactereacea families play crucial roles in the bioenergetics of these microorganisms. Thermodynamic studies using NMR and visible spectroscopic techniques on tetraheme cytochromes c(3) isolated from Desulfovibrio spp.
