Abstract excerpt
Shewanella oneidensis is among the first and the best studied bacteria capable of respiring minerals as terminal electron acceptors (EAs), including a variety of iron ores. This respiration process relies on a large number of c-type cytochromes, which per se are iron-containing proteins. Thus, iron plays an essential and special role in iron respiration of S. oneidensis, prompting extensive investigations into...
