Alignment of the c -Type Cytochrome OmcS along Pili of Geobacter sulfurreducens
Open accessAbstract
Immunogold localization revealed that OmcS, a cytochrome that is required for Fe(III) oxide reduction by Geobacter sulfurreducens, was localized along the pili. The apparent spacing between OmcS molecules suggests that OmcS facilitates electron transfer from pili to Fe(III) oxides rather than promoting electron conduction along the length of the pili.

Bacteria attached to the surface and channel of CA substrate were uniformly dispersed due to the roughness and porous structure of CA.
“Fig. 2b shows that the bacteria attached to the surface and channel of CA substrate were uniformly dispersed due to the roughness and porous structure of CA, which conduces to the adsorption of organic species for the utilization of the bacteria [37,38].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
