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
A Genetic System for Clostridium ljungdahlii: a Chassis for Autotrophic Production of Biocommodities and a Model Homoacetogen
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of genetic investigations of acetogen physiology and the potential for genetic manipulation of C. ljungdahlii to optimize autotrophic biocommodity production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Converting Carbon Dioxide to Butyrate with an Engineered Strain of Clostridium ljungdahlii
TL;DR: The finding that carbon and electron flow in C. ljungdahlii can be diverted from the production of acetate to butyrate synthesis is an important step toward the goal of renewable commodity production from carbon dioxide with this organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecies Electron Transfer via Hydrogen and Formate Rather than Direct Electrical Connections in Cocultures of Pelobacter carbinolicus and Geobacter sulfurreducens
Amelia-Elena Rotaru,Pravin Malla Shrestha,Fanghua Liu,Toshiyuki Ueki,Kelly P. Nevin,Zarath M. Summers,Derek R. Lovley +6 more
TL;DR: The finding that P. carbinolicus exchanged electrons with G. sulfurreducens via interspecies transfer of H2/formate rather than DIET demonstrates that not all microorganisms that can grow syntrophically are capable of DIET and that closely related microorganisms may use significantly different strategies for interspecies electron exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactose-Inducible System for Metabolic Engineering of Clostridium ljungdahlii
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the lactose-inducible system described here will be useful for redirecting carbon and electron flow for the biosynthesis of products more valuable than acetate and should aid in optimizing microbial electrosynthesis and for basic studies on the physiology of acetogenesis.
