Electrons can be transferred from microorganisms to multivalent metal ions that are
associated with minerals and vice versa. As the microbial cell envelope is neither physically …

Electroactive bacteria produce or consume electrical current by moving electrons to and
from extracellular acceptors and donors. This specialized process, known as extracellular …

Extracellular electron uptake (EEU) is the ability of microbes to take up electrons from solid-
phase conductive substances such as metal oxides. EEU is performed by prevalent …

Powering microbes with electrical energy to produce valuable chemicals such as biofuels
has recently gained traction as a biosustainable strategy to reduce our dependence on oil …

While typically investigated as a microorganism capable of extracellular electron transfer to
minerals or anodes, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 can also facilitate electron flow from a …

Biochar and mineral-enriched biochar (MEB) have been used as soil amendments to
improve soil fertility, sequester carbon and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Such …

Microbial biofilms are ubiquitous. In marine and freshwater ecosystems, microbe–mineral
interactions sustain biogeochemical cycles, while biofilms found on plants and animals can …

Microbial electrosynthesis is a renewable energy and chemical production platform that
relies on microbial cells to capture electrons from a cathode and fix carbon. Yet despite the …

Recently, a lot of research work has been performed on microalgal-assisted microbial fuel
cells (MFCs) for electricity generation, wastewater treatment, and biomass production …

Microaerophilic, neutrophilic, iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) grow via the oxidation of
reduced Fe (II) at or near neutral pH, in the presence of oxygen, making them relevant in …
