(PhysOrg.com) -- Another step toward improving understanding of electron exchange between microbes and minerals has been documented in the January 2010 issue of Geobiology. Bacteria such as the metal-reducing Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 exchange electrons with minerals in soil, sediment, and subsurface material. These interactions impact processes such as the reduction and stabilization of contaminants in groundwater.
