    Geobacter - Wikipedia

    • Geobacter is a genus of bacteria. Geobacter species are anaerobic respiration bacterial species which have capabilities that make them useful in bioremediation. Geobacter was found to be the first organism with the ability to oxidize organic compounds and metals, including iron, radioactive metals, and petroleum compounds into environmentally beni… See more

    History

    Geobacter metallireducens was first isolated by Derek R Lovley in 1987 in sand sediment from the

    Metabolic mechanisms

    For quite some time, it was thought that Geobacter species lacked c-cytochromes that can be utilized to reduce metal ions, hence it was assumed that they required direct physical contact in order to use metal ions as … See more

    Geobacter: The Microbe Electric's Physiology, Ecology, and Practical Applications
    Geobacter species specialize in making electrical contacts with extracellular electron acceptors and other organisms. This permits Geobacter species to fill important niches in a diversity of anaerobic environments. Geobacter species appear to be the primary agents for coupling the oxidation of orga...
