ABSTRACT: Wild type G. sulfurreducens DL1 strain (see Caccavo, F., Jr., D. J. Lonergan, D. R. Lovley, M. Davis, J. F. Stolz, and M. J. McInerney. 1994. Geobacter sulfurreducens sp. nov., a hydrogen- and acetate-oxidizing dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganism. Appl Environ Microbiol 60:3752-9. see also Coppi, M. V., C. Leang, S. J. Sandler, and D. R. Lovley. 2001. Development of a genetic system for Geobacter sulfurreducens. Appl Environ Microbiol 67:3180-7.) and DLCN16 mutant (.rpoS::Km) (see Nuñez, C., L. Adams, S. Childers, and D. R. Lovley. 2004. The RpoS sigma factor in the dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. J Bacteriol 186:5543-6.) were grown under anaerobic conditions at 30 °C in continuous culture with a 200 ml working volume as previously described (see Esteve-Nunez, A., M. Rothermich, M. Sharma, and D. Lovley. 2005. Growth of Geobacter sulfurreducens under nutrient-limiting conditions in continuous culture. Environ Microbiol 7:641-8.). Cells were cultured at a growth rate of 0.05 h-1, steady-state cell growth was obtained after 5 volume refills and was confirmed by a constant cell density and concentrations of Fe(II). Acetate (5.5 mM) was the electron donor and the limiting substrate. The electron acceptor was Fe(III)-citrate (60mM). Two biological replicates of control and treatment cells were obtained to produce hybridizations for this experiment.
