Electroactive microorganisms markedly affect many environments in which they establish
outer-surface electrical contacts with other cells and minerals or reduce soluble extracellular …

Nowadays, due to the economic and industrial development, water contaminated with heavy
metals is a significant concern and one of the acute global environmental problems …

The class Deltaproteobacteria comprises an ecologically and metabolically diverse group of
bacteria best known for dissimilatory sulphate reduction and predatory behaviour. Although …

Microbial corrosion of iron-based materials is a substantial economic problem. A
mechanistic understanding is required to develop mitigation strategies, but previous …

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) from bacteria to methanogens is a revolutionary
concept for syntrophic metabolism in methanogenic soils/sediments and anaerobic …

This paper reviews dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in soils-a newly
appreciated pathway of nitrogen (N) cycling in the terrestrial ecosystems. The reduction of …

Heavy metals bring long-term hazardous consequences and pose a serious threat to all life
forms. Being non-biodegradable, they can remain in the food webs for a long period of time …

The study of electrically conductive protein nanowires in Geobacter sulfurreducens has led
to new concepts for long-range extracellular electron transport, as well as for the …

Burgeoning industrialization has escalated the energy demand and amplified the insistence
on depleting petroleum-based reservoirs. Subsequently, this has imposed a study to …

Biochar, a charcoal-like product of the incomplete combustion of organic materials, is an
increasingly popular soil amendment designed to improve soil fertility. We investigated the …
