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
Proteins involved in electron transfer to Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides by Geobacter sulfurreducens and Geobacter uraniireducens
Muktak Aklujkar,Maddalena V. Coppi,Ching Leang,Byoung-Chan Kim,Milind A. Chavan,Lorrie A. Perpetua,Ludovic Giloteaux,Anna Liu,Dawn E. Holmes +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the physiology of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria differs significantly during growth on different insoluble and soluble electron acceptors and emphasize the importance of c-type cytochromes for extracellular electron transfer in G. sulfurreducens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntrophic Growth with Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer as the Primary Mechanism for Energy Exchange
Pravin Malla Shrestha,Amelia-Elena Rotaru,Muktak Aklujkar,Fanghua Liu,Minita Shrestha,Zarath M. Summers,Nikhil S. Malvankar,Dan Carlo Flores,Derek R. Lovley +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that electrons transferred via DIET can serve as the sole energy source to support anaerobic respiration in Geobacter metallireducens.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genome sequence of Geobacter metallireducens: features of metabolism, physiology and regulation common and dissimilar to Geobacter sulfurreducens
TL;DR: The genomic evidence suggests that metabolism, physiology and regulation of gene expression in G. metallireducens may be dramatically different from other Geobacteraceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteome of Geobacter sulfurreducens grown with Fe(III) oxide or Fe(III) citrate as the electron acceptor.
Yan Huai R Ding,Kim K. Hixson,Muktak Aklujkar,Mary S. Lipton,Richard D. Smith,Derek R. Lovley,Tünde Mester +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that proteins whose functions should be further investigated in order to better understand the mechanisms of electron transport to Fe(III) oxide in G. sulfurreducens requires additional and/or different proteins than electron transfer to soluble, chelated Fe(II) oxide.
