PhD position in extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of Shewanella
Project description:Electrotrophs are microorganisms with the extraordinary capacity to feed on electrons derived from electrodes or steel. Such microorganisms are of interest for bioelectrochemical applications (e.g. to convert electric energy into useful compounds), while electrotrophs also cause detrimental microbial corrosion.This PhD position will use Shewanella strains as model electrotrophs and will investigate how these bacteria…
