Facilitated extracellular electron transfer of Shewanella loihica PV-4 by antimony-doped tin oxide nanoparticles as active microelectrodes.
Dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria are capable of extracellular electron transfer (EET) to insoluble metal oxides as external electron acceptors for their anaerobic respiration, which is recognized as an important energy-conversion process in natural and engineered environments, such as in mineral cycling, bioremediation, and microbial fuel/electrolysis cells. However, the low EET efficiency...
متن کاملComparison of Kinetics of Hemoglobin Electron Transfer in Solution and Immobilized on Electrode Surface
The electron transfer properties of horse heart hemoglobin are compared using a hydrophilic indium tin oxide electrode and a dilaurydimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) polymer modified PG electrodes. A clear, stable and quasi-reversible redox curve of hemoglobin (Hb) was obtained in the absence of electron transfer mediators or promoters. The formal redox potential of -0.17 vs. Ag/AgCl of Hb was de...
متن کاملControlling electron transfer at the microbe-mineral interface.
Remarkably, many bacteria live and thrive in the earth’s subsurface by respiring extracellular insoluble minerals. Okamato et al. (1) in PNAS report how this process may be accelerated by the presence of flavins that bind as cofactors to electron transport proteins on the cell surface that are key to extracellular mineral respiration. Humans obtain the energy needed for life by respiring oxygen...
متن کاملNitrite Control over Dissimilatory Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction Pathways in Shewanella loihica Strain PV-4.
Shewanella loihica strain PV-4 harbors both a functional denitrification (NO3 (-)→N2) and a respiratory ammonification (NO3 (-)→NH4 (+)) pathway. Batch and chemostat experiments revealed that NO2 (-) affects pathway selection and the formation of reduced products. Strain PV-4 cells grown with NO2 (-) as the sole electron acceptor produced exclusively NH4 (+). With NO3 (-) as the electron accept...
متن کاملShewanella loihica sp. nov., isolated from iron-rich microbial mats in the Pacific Ocean.
A novel marine bacterial strain, PV-4(T), isolated from a microbial mat located at a hydrothermal vent of Loihi Seamount in the Pacific Ocean, has been characterized. This micro-organism is orangey in colour, Gram-negative, polarly flagellated, facultatively anaerobic and psychrotolerant (temperature range, 0-42 degrees C). No growth was observed with nitrate, nitrite, DMSO or thiosulfate as th...
