Abstract excerpt
Iron, a major protein cofactor, is essential for most organisms but can simultaneously be toxic. Iron homeostasis thus has to be effectively maintained under a range of iron regimes. This may be particularly true with Shewanella oneidensis, a representative of dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria (DMRB), which are capable of respiring a variety of chemicals as electron acceptors (EAs), including iron ores....
