PY - 2014 DA - 2014/08/27 TI - Theoretical exploration of optimal metabolic flux distributions for extracellular electron transfer by Shewanella oneidensisMR-1 JO - Biotechnology for Biofuels SP - 118 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is one of the model microorganisms used for extracellular electron transfer. In this study, to elucidate the capability and the relevant metabolic processes of S. oneidensis MR-1 involved in an electron transferring environment, we employed genome-scale modelling to model the necessary metabolic states and flux adjustments for electricity generation in the cytochrome c-based direct electron transfer (DET) mode, the NADH-linked mediated electron transfer (MET) mode and a presumable mixed mode comprising DET and flavin secretion. These are difficult to develop experimentally. SN - 1754-6834 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-014-0118-6 DO - 10.1186/s13068-014-0118-6 ID - Mao2014 ER -
