Complete inhibition was obtained only when five of these genes were simultaneously deleted, suggesting that diverse outer surface cytochromes can contribute to the reduction of humic substances and other extracellular quinones.}, keywords = {Anthraquinones, Bacterial Proteins, Cytochromes, Gene Deletion, Genes, Bacterial, Geobacter, Humic Substances, Oxidation-Reduction, Soil, Soil Microbiology}, issn = {1098-5336}, doi = {10.1128/AEM.02250-09}, author = {Voordeckers, James W and Kim, Byoung-Chan and Izallalen, Mounir and Lovley, Derek R} }
