Additional information
Extracellular electron transfer of microorganisms is important for electron-transport pathways in bioelectrochemical systems. Several microbes are capable of transforming a range of metal ions/minerals into nanoparticles which remain bound to the cell membrane, but little is understood about their electron transfer processes. We used the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans to study the direct bioelectrochemistry and the role of transformed metals; Pd nanoparticles localised in the cell walls as nanaoparticles of diameter <10 nm, with a direct electron transfer mechanism (DET) involving periplasmic cytochromes and hydrogenases.
