Shewanellaoneidensis • Shewanellalive just below oxic /anoxic interface • In absence of O2, can respire using a variety of terminal electron acceptors • Member of family known as DMRB(Dissimilatory Metal-Reducing Bacteria)
DMRB use external electron acceptors to respire in the absence oxygen FeIIIFeII e- ? Outer membrane Periplasm H2O O2 Inner membrane e- e- Glucose CO2 Anaerobic Respiration in Dissimilatory Metal-Reducing Bacteria Aerobic Respiration
