Abstract

Key findings

  • Geobacter species reduced ferrihydrite at a faster rate when co-cultured with secondary bacteria compared to monoculture.
  • Secondary bacteria stimulated the production of extracellular electron transfer (EET) mediators by Geobacter species.
  • The presence of secondary bacteria increased the surface area of ferrihydrite available for reduction by Geobacter species.
