Geobacter: the microbe electric's physiology, ecology, and practical applications. (2011, background): “After Fe(III) reduction, electron transfer to electrodes is probably the most studied form of respiration in Geobacter species (Lovley, 2006a,b, 2008b, 2011a; Lovley and Nevin, 2011).”
Microbial Fuel Cells: Recent Advances, Bacterial Communities and Application Beyond Electricity Generation (2008, background): “Electron transfer can occur either through membraneassociated components,49) soluble electron shuttles generated by specific bacteria,55) or highly conductive nanowires.56-58) The mechanisms for electron transfer to the electrodes were reviewed by Lovley (2006) and Schroder (2007).”
