Syntrophic Growth via Quinone-Mediated Interspecies Electron Transfer

Syntrophic Growth via Quinone-Mediated Interspecies Electron Transfer

The mechanisms by which microbial species exchange electrons are of interest because interspecies electron transfer can expand the metabolic capabilities of microbial communities. Previous studies with the humic substance analog anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) suggested that quinone-mediated in...
