TL;DR: Results suggest that biofilms grown harvesting current are specifically poised for electron transfer to electrodes and that, in addition to pili, OmcZ is a key component in electron transfer through differentiated G. sulfurreducensBiofilms to electrodes.

TL;DR: Two members of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Yellow Stripe-Like (YSL) family are described and the proposed physiological roles for YSL1 and YSL3 are in delivery of metal micronutrients to and from vascular tissues.

TL;DR: Arabidopsis YSL2 (At5g24380) transports iron and copper when these metals are chelated by nicotianamine (NA), an iron chelator that is structurally similar to PS and which is found in all higher plants.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that it is possible to genetically engineer increased respiration rates in G. sulfurreducens in accordance with predictions from in silico metabolic modeling, the first report of metabolic engineering to increase the respiratory rate of a microorganism.

TL;DR: Degradation of toluene and 2-methylnaphthalene, and the presence of at least one bss-like and bbs-like gene cluster in this organism, suggests that NaphS2 degrades both compounds via parallel mechanisms, which demonstrates that steps leading to the degradation of 2-naphthoyl-CoA are conserved between Naph S2 and N47.
