Abstract
Key findings
- The bacteria were isolated from freshwater environments and were able to reduce ferric iron using a novel respiratory process.
- The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the bacteria were used to determine their phylogenetic relationships and identify them as new species.
- The bacteria were found to have unique physiological and biochemical characteristics compared to other Geobacter species.
