Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is the physiological process that enables the reduction
or oxidation of molecules and minerals beyond the surface of a microbial cell. The first …

A dynamic field of study has emerged involving long-range electron transport by
extracellular filaments in anaerobic bacteria, with Geobacter sulfurreducens being used as a …

Geobacter species specialize in making electrical contacts with extracellular electron
acceptors and other organisms. This permits Geobacter species to fill important niches in a …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is an important biological process in microbial
physiology as found in dissimilatory metal oxidation/reduction and interspecies electron …

Geobacter spp. can acquire energy by coupling intracellular oxidation of organic matter with
extracellular electron transfer to an anode (an electrode poised at a metabolically oxidizing …

The family Geobacteraceae, with its only valid genus Geobacter, comprises
deltaproteobacteria ubiquitous in soil, sediments, and subsurface environments where metal …

The respiration of metals by the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires electrons
generated by metabolism to pass from the interior of the cell to electron acceptors beyond …

The concept that anaerobic microorganisms can directly accept electrons from Fe (0) has
been controversial because direct metal-microbe electron transfer has previously only been …

Interspecies exchange of electrons enables a diversity of microbial communities to gain
energy from reactions that no one microbe can catalyze. The first recognized strategies for …

Previous studies have demonstrated that Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the c-type
cytochrome OmcZ, which is present in large (OmcZL; 50-kDa) and small (OmcZS; 30-kDa) …
