Geobacter sulfurreducens’ Unique Metabolism Results in Cells with a High Iron and Lipid Content

ABSTRACT Geobacter sulfurreducens is a ubiquitous iron-reducing bacterium in soils, and in engineered systems, it can respire an electrode to produce measurable electric current. Its unique metabolism, heavily dependent on an extensive network of cytochromes, requires a unique cell composition. In t...
