Influence of support materials on the electroactive behavior, structure and gene expression of wild type and GSU1771-deficient mutant of Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms.

Abstract excerpt

Geobacter sulfurreducens DL1 is a metal-reducing dissimilatory bacterium frequently used to produce electricity in bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The biofilm formed on electrodes is one of the most important factors for efficient electron transfer; this is possible due to the production of type IV pili and c-type cytochromes that allow it to carry out extracellular electron transfer (EET) to final acceptors....
