Abstract excerpt
An outer membrane c-type cytochrome (OmcZ) in Geobacter sulfurreducens is essential for optimal current production in microbial fuel cells. OmcZ exists in two forms, small and large, designated OmcZS and OmcZL, respectively. However, it is still not known how these two structures are formed. A mutant with a disruption of the GSU2075 gene encoding a subtilisin-like serine protease (designated ozpA for the...
