Abstract
The dissimilatory iron-reducing bacterium Geobacter metallireducens was found to require iron at a concentration in excess of 50 microM for continuous cultivation on nitrate. Growth yield (approximately 3-fold), cytochrome c content (approximately 7-fold), and nitrate (approximately 4.5-fold) and nitrite (approximately 70-fold) reductase activities were all increased significantly when the growth medium was amended with 500 microM iron.Entities:
