Mitochondrial nanomotion measured by optical microscopy

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba, Priyanka Parmar

Nanometric scale size oscillations seem to be a fundamental feature of all living organisms on Earth. Their detection usually requires complex and very sensitive devices. However, some recent studies demonstrated that very simple optical microscopes and de ...

Impact of iron reduction on the metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Cornelia List, Zhaleh Hosseini

Iron is essential for most living organisms. In addition, its biogeochemical cycling influences important processes in the geosphere (e.g., the mobilization or immobilization of trace elements and contaminants). The reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) can be ca ...

Mechanism(s) of electron transfer and metabolic changes during iron reduction by Clostridium acetobutylicum

Cornelia List

Microorganisms catalyze many of the redox transformations driving the iron cycle in the geosphere. For instance, iron cycling includes the reduction of solid-phase and soluble ferric iron (Fe(III)) to ferrous iron (Fe(II)). However, in order to reduce soli ...
