It was an excellent meeting covering diverse aspects of microbiology, especially structural and molecular microbiology. It was wonderful...
Preprint from our lab
We discovered that Baltic Sea consortia rich in Geobacter and Methanosarcina carried out syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) mediated by conductive particles. It’s a really exciting finding not only because it is of importance to our understanding of the iron the methane cycles but also because: it raises questions how anthropogenic...
