Tracking electron uptake from a cathode into Shewanella cells: implications for generating maintenance energy from solid substrates.
A. R. Rowe, P. Rajeev, A. Jain…·K. Nealson
This study shows that Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 can take up electrons from a cathode, generating ATP and reducing cellular decay rate, suggesting a mechanism for energy conservation in low-growth environments.
