Iron is an essential micronutrient, and, in the case of bacteria, its availability is commonly a
growth-limiting factor. However, correct functioning of cells requires that the labile pool of …

Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) carry out anaerobic oxidation of methane, thus
playing a crucial role in the methane cycle. Previous genomic evidence indicates that multi …

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) plays a critical role in the transcriptional regulation of iron
metabolism. However, the full regulatory potential of Fur remains undefined. Here we …

Zero valent iron (ZVI) has been previously documented to attenuate the propagation of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbes, while how ZVI affects the evolution of ARGs …

Enterococci are important human commensals and significant opportunistic pathogens.
Biofilm-related enterococcal infections, such as endocarditis, urinary tract infections, wound …

Bacteria in the genus Geobacter thrive in iron-and manganese-rich environments where the
divalent cobalt cation (CoII) accumulates to potentially toxic concentrations. Consistent with …

Cellular uptake of inorganic divalent mercury (Hg (II)) is a key step in microbial formation of
neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg), but the mechanisms remain largely unidentified. We …

Single‐atom metal catalysts are promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. Nickel‐
based electrocatalysts have shown attractive application prospects for water electrolysis …

Sewage wastewater pollutes water and poses a public health issue but it could also prove
useful in certain research domains. Sewage is a complex niche relevant for research …

The ability of G eobacter species to transfer electrons outside the cell enables them to play
an important role in a number of biogeochemical and bioenergy processes. Gene deletion …
