Abstract excerpt
The dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 produced γ-MnS (rambergite) nanoparticles during the concurrent reduction of MnO₂ and thiosulfate coupled to H₂ oxidation. To investigate effect of direct microbial reduction of MnO₂ on MnS formation, two MR-1 mutants defective in outer membrane c-type cytochromes (ΔmtrC/ΔomcA and ΔmtrC/ΔomcA/ΔmtrF) were also used and it was determined that...
