Mechanisms for Electron Uptake by Methanosarcina acetivorans during Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Abstract

The conversion of organic matter to methane plays an important role in the global carbon cycle and is an effective strategy for converting wastes to a useful biofuel. The reduction of carbon dioxide to methane accounts for approximately a third of the methane produced in anaerobic soils and sediments as well as waste digesters.
