Extracellular electron transfer proteins contribute to reduction of ferric minerals by Geobacter biofilms

ABSTRACT To investigate how the thickness and extracellular electron transfer (EET) capabilities of microbial biofilms influence the reduction of ferric iron [Fe(III)]-containing minerals, we utilized four strains of Geobacter sulfurreducens with varying biofilm thicknesses and EET capabilities. The...
