Novel Extracellular Electron Transfer Channels in a Gram-Positive Thermophilic Bacterium

Novel Extracellular Electron Transfer Channels in a Gram-Positive Thermophilic Bacterium

Biogenic transformation of Fe minerals, associated with extracellular electron transfer (EET), allows microorganisms to exploit high-potential refractory electron acceptors for energy generation. EET-capable thermophiles are dominated by hyperthermophilic archaea and Gram-positive bacteria. Informat...
