Geobacter metallireducens —evaluation of its sustainability in nitrate-reducing Fe(II) oxidation under autotrophic conditions

Abstract Bacterial nitrate (NO3−) reducing Fe(II) oxidation is often regarded as an autotrophic process, although its long-term sustainability is rarely demonstrated. Here, we assessed whether Geobacter metallireducens (ATCC 53774) can sustain chemolithoautotrophic nitrate-reduci...
