Abstract excerpt
The Gram-negative bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 shows a remarkably versatile anaerobic respiratory metabolism. One of its hallmarks is its ability to grow and survive through the reduction of metallic compounds. Among other proteins, outer membrane decaheme cytochromes c OmcA and OmcB have been identified as key players in metal reduction. In fact, both of these cytochromes have been proposed to be...
