Evidence for Quinol Oxidation Activity of ImoA, a Novel NapC/NirT Family Protein from the Neutrophilic Fe(II)-Oxidizing Bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1
Abstract
Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria play an important role in biogeochemical cycles. At circumneutral pH, these organisms perform extracellular electron transfer, taking up electrons from Fe(II) outside the cell, potentially through a porin-cytochrome complex in the outer membrane encoded by the Mto pathway.
