Flavins mediate extracellular electron transfer in Gram-positive Bacillus megaterium strain LLD-1.
The extracellular electron transfer (EET) mechanism of an isolated Gram-positive Bacillus megaterium strain (LLD-1), identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and physiological analysis, was investigated in the present study. The electrochemical activity of strain LLD-1 was confirmed by electrochemical E-t and amperometric I-t tests. Flavins in culture suspension from strain LLD-1 were further pro...
متن کاملConjugative plasmid transfer in gram-positive bacteria.
Conjugative transfer of bacterial plasmids is the most efficient way of horizontal gene spread, and it is therefore considered one of the major reasons for the increase in the number of bacteria exhibiting multiple-antibiotic resistance. Thus, conjugation and spread of antibiotic resistance represents a severe problem in antibiotic treatment, especially of immunosuppressed patients and in inten...
متن کاملExtracellular Electron Transfer Mediated by Flavins in Gram-positive Bacillus sp. WS-XY1 and Yeast Pichia stipitis
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) of microorganisms represents a communicative bridge between the interior and exterior of the cells. Most prior EET studies have focused on Gram-negative bacteria. However, fungi and Gram-positive bacteria, that contain dense cellular walls, have rarely been reported. Herein, two model dense cell wall microorganisms (Bacillus sp. WS-XY1 and the yeast Pichia ...
متن کاملDeterminants of extracellular protein secretion in gram-negative bacteria.
Protein localization has been the subject of extensive research using models ranging from bacteria to mammalian cells. The central question which prokaryoticand eukaryotic-cell biologists have attempted to answer is how proteins synthesized in the cytoplasmic compartment traverse the hydrophobic membrane barrier or become integrated into it. This work has led to the identification of targeting ...
متن کاملBiotechnological Aspects of Microbial Extracellular Electron Transfer
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is a type of microbial respiration that enables electron transfer between microbial cells and extracellular solid materials, including naturally-occurring metal compounds and artificial electrodes. Microorganisms harboring EET abilities have received considerable attention for their various biotechnological applications, in addition to their contribution to...
