Journal ArticleDOI
Electrode-Reducing Microorganisms That Harvest Energy from Marine Sediments
TL;DR: A specific enrichment of microorganisms of the family Geobacteraceae is reported on energy-harvesting anodes, and it is shown that these microorganisms can conserve energy to support their growth by oxidizing organic compounds with an electrode serving as the sole electron acceptor.
Book ChapterDOI
Dissimilatory Fe(III) and Mn(IV) reduction.
TL;DR: The ability to oxidize hydrogen with the reduction of Fe(III) is a highly conserved characteristic of hyperthermophilic microorganisms, most notably those in the Geobacteraceae family as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing microbially generated power on the seafloor
Leonard M. Tender,Clare E. Reimers,Hilmar A. Stecher,Dawn E. Holmes,Daniel R. Bond,Daniel A. Lowy,Kanoelani T. Pilobello,Stephanie Fertig,Derek R. Lovley +8 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate in real marine environments a new form of power generation that uses an immense, renewable energy reservoir (sedimentary organic carbon) and has near-immediate application.
Book ChapterDOI
Geobacter: The Microbe Electric's Physiology, Ecology, and Practical Applications
Derek R. Lovley,Toshiyuki Ueki,Tian Zhang,Nikhil S. Malvankar,Pravin Malla Shrestha,Kelly A. Flanagan,Muktak Aklujkar,Jessica E. Butler,Ludovic Giloteaux,Amelia-Elena Rotaru,Dawn E. Holmes,Ashley E. Franks,Roberto Orellana,Carla Risso,Kelly P. Nevin +14 more
TL;DR: The study of Geobacter species has revealed a remarkable number of microbial physiological properties that had not previously been described in any microorganism, which might contribute to the field of bioelectronics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Communities Associated with Electrodes Harvesting Electricity from a Variety of Aquatic Sediments
Dawn E. Holmes,Daniel R. Bond,Regina A. O'Neil,Clare E. Reimers,L. R. Tender,Derek R. Lovley +5 more
TL;DR: Future studies designed to help optimize the harvesting of electricity from aquatic sediments or waste organic matter should focus on the electrode interactions of these microorganisms which are most competitive in colonizing anodes and cathodes.
