TLDR
Geobacter-like species with the most representative Geobactersulfurreducens PCA(T) were integral members of the bacterial community in all MFCs except for the propionate-fed system, and there was no single dominant bacterial species.

Journal ArticleDOI

Cathodes as electron donors for microbial metabolism: Which extracellular electron transfer mechanisms are involved?

TL;DR: This review illuminates extracellular electron transfer mechanisms that may be involved in microbial bioelectrochemical systems with biocathodes and predicts that in direct electron transfer reactions, c-type cytochromes often together with hydrogenases play a critical role and that, in mediated electronTransfer reactions, natural redox mediators, such as PQQ, will be involvement in the bioElectrochemical reaction.

Extracellular electron transfer via microbial nanowires.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the pili of G. sulfurreducens might serve as biological nanowires, transferring electrons from the cell surface to the surface of Fe(iii) oxides, indicating possibilities for other unique cell-surface and cell–cell interactions, and for bioengineering of novel conductive materials.
