Extracellular electron transfer mechanisms between microorganisms and minerals

Key Points Specific microorganisms use metal-containing minerals as electron sinks for heterotrophy-based respiration and electron and/or energy sources for autotrophic growth. The microbial cell envelope is an electrical and physical barrier that can be overcome by pathways that consist of redox pr...
