Research Article | Applied and Environmental ScienceAdaptive Evolution of Geobacter sulfurreducens in Coculture with Pseudomonas aeruginosaGeobacter and Pseudomonas spp. cohabit many of the same environments, where Geobacter spp. often dominate. Both bacteria are capable of extracellular electron transfer (EET) and play important roles in biogeochemical cycling. Although they recently in 2017 were demonstrated to undergo direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) with one another, the genetic evolution of this syntrophic interaction has not...
Research Article | Applied and Environmental ScienceMethane-Linked Mechanisms of Electron Uptake from Cathodes by Methanosarcina barkeriMethanogenic archaea are of fundamental applied and environmental relevance. This is largely due to their activities in a wide range of anaerobic environments, generating gaseous reduced carbon that can be utilized as a fuel source. While the bioenergetics of a wide variety of methanogens have been well studied with respect to soluble substrates, a mechanistic understanding of their interaction with solid-phase redox-active compounds is...
