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
A new model for electron flow during anaerobic digestion: direct interspecies electron transfer to Methanosaeta for the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane
Amelia-Elena Rotaru,Pravin Malla Shrestha,Fanghua Liu,Minita Shrestha,Devesh Shrestha,Mallory Embree,Karsten Zengler,Colin Wardman,Kelly P. Nevin,Derek R. Lovley +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a metatranscriptomic analysis of methanogenic aggregates from a brewery wastewater digester, coupled with fluorescence in situ hybridization with specific 16S rRNA probes, revealed that Methanosaeta species were the most abundant and metabolically active methanogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Electrosynthesis: Feeding Microbes Electricity To Convert Carbon Dioxide and Water to Multicarbon Extracellular Organic Compounds
TL;DR: The results presented here suggest that microbiological catalysts may be a robust alternative, and when coupled with photovoltaics, current-driven microbial carbon dioxide reduction represents a new form of photosynthesis that might convert solar energy to organic products more effectively than traditional biomass-based strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm and nanowire production leads to increased current in geobacter sulfurreducens fuel cells
Gemma Reguera,Kelly P. Nevin,Julie S. Nicoll,Sean F. Covalla,Trevor L. Woodard,Derek R. Lovley +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic studies demonstrated that efficient electron transfer through the biofilm required the presence of electrically conductive pili, which may represent an electronic network permeating the biofilms that can promote long-range electrical transfer in an energy-efficient manner, increasing electricity production more than 10-fold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tunable metallic-like conductivity in microbial nanowire networks
Nikhil S. Malvankar,Madeline Vargas,Madeline Vargas,Kelly P. Nevin,Ashley E. Franks,Ching Leang,Byoung-Chan Kim,Byoung-Chan Kim,Kengo Inoue,Kengo Inoue,Tünde Mester,Tünde Mester,Sean F. Covalla,Sean F. Covalla,Jessica P Johnson,Jessica P Johnson,Vincent M. Rotello,Mark T. Tuominen,Derek R. Lovley +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that nanofilaments derived from natural amino acids can have metallic-like conductivity and showed that they can be used to construct a metallic conductivity network.
