Improper Localization of the OmcS Cytochrome May Explain the Inability of the xapD-Deficient Mutant of Geobacter sulfurreducens to Reduce Fe(III) Oxide

The paper investigates the role of OmcS cytochrome localization in Fe(III) oxide reduction by Geobacter sulfurreducens, finding that OmcS is misplaced in xapD-deficient mutants, disrupting electron transport.
