Abstract
BACKGROUND Shewanella spp. are gram-negative facultative anaerobic, oxidase-positive, motile bacilli that are ubiquitous but commonly occur in seawater and can cause opportunistic infection. Reports on the risk factors for Shewanella infection, its severity, antibiotic susceptibility, and prognosis are limited. This report is of a 78-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis presenting with bacteremia and empyema due to infection with Shewanella spp. CASE REPORT A 78-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) presented to our emergency room with a high fever. He had eaten raw fish one week prior to admission. Chest computed tomography showed a right unilateral pleural effusion, and he was hospitalized with suspected empyema. Shewanella spp. was detected in the pleural effusion and blood cultures. We initiated piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin empirically and switched to ceftriaxone; the effusion was successfully treated using antibiotics and pleural drainage. However, on hospitalization day 53, the patient died of aspiration pneumonia. In our literature review, we extracted 125 reported cases (including our case) and found that men were disproportionately affected (81%); median age was 61.6 (56-75) years; underlying diseases included hepatobiliary disease (33%), malignancy (25%), and cardiac disease (24%); Shewanella spp. infection sites were skin and soft tissue (35%), respiratory system (18%), and hepatobiliary system (11%); and management included antibiotics (100%), drainage (16%), and debridement (16%). The survival rate was 74% with antibiotics alone. CONCLUSIONS Our case highlights that clinicians should recognize Shewanella spp. as a cause of empyema and bacteremia in patients with liver cirrhosis, and that microbiological diagnosis with antibiotic sensitivity testing and treatment should be undertaken urgently to prevent fatal sepsis.

Abstract
Bacteria utilize heme proteins, such as globin coupled sensors (GCSs), to sense and respond to oxygen levels. GCSs are predicted in almost 2000 bacterial species and consist of a globin domain linked by a central domain to a variety of output domains, including diguanylate cyclase domains that synthesize c-di-GMP, a major regulator of biofilm formation. To investigate the effects of middle domain length and heme edge residues on GCS diguanylate cyclase activity and cellular function, a putative diguanylate cyclase-containing GCS from Shewanella sp. ANA-3 (SA3GCS) was characterized. Binding of O2 to the heme resulted in activation of diguanylate cyclase activity, while NO and CO binding had minimal effects on catalysis, demonstrating that SA3GCS exhibits greater ligand selectivity for cyclase activation than many other diguanylate cyclase-containing GCSs. Small angle X-ray scattering analysis of dimeric SA3GCS identified movement of the cyclase domains away from each other, while maintaining the globin dimer interface, as a potential mechanism for regulating cyclase activity. Comparison of the Shewanella ANA-3 wild type and SA3GCS deletion (ΔSA3GCS) strains identified changes in biofilm formation, demonstrating that SA3GCS diguanylate cyclase activity modulates Shewanella phenotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shewanella xiamenensis, widely distributed in natural environments, has long been considered as opportunistic pathogen. Recently, significant changes in the resistance spectrum have been observed in S. xiamenensis, due to acquired antibiotic resistance genes. Therefore, a pan-genome analysis was conducted to illuminate the genomic changes in S. xiamenensis. RESULTS Phylogenetic analysis revealed three major clusters and three singletons, among which close relationship between several strains was discovered, regardless of their host and niches. The "open" genomes with diversity of accessory and strain-specific genomes took advantage towards diversity environments. The purifying selection pressure was the main force on genome evolution, especially in conservative genes. Only 53 gene families were under positive selection pressure. Phenotypic resistance analysis revealed 21 strains were classified as multi-drug resistance (MDR). Ten types of antibiotic resistance genes and two heavy metal resistance operons were discovered in S. xiamenensis. Mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer increased genome diversity and were closely related to MDR strains. S. xiamenensis carried a variety of virulence genes and macromolecular secretion systems, indicating their important roles in pathogenicity and adaptability. Type IV secretion system was discovered in 15 genomes with various sequence structures, indicating it was originated from different donors through horizontal gene transfer. CONCLUSIONS This study provided with a detailed insight into the changes in the pan-genome of S. xiamenensis, highlighting its capability to acquire new mobile genetic elements and resistance genes for its adaptation to environment and pathogenicity to human and animals.

Abstract
As a new electrode material for electrochemical systems, covalent organic framework (COF) materials have been gradually applied to bioelectrochemical systems. In our previous study, the COFBTA-DPPD-rGO composite was synthesized via Schiff-base coupling between benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde (BTA) and 3,8-diamino-6-phenylphenanthridine (DPPD) on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) at room temperature. Here, COFBTA-DPPD-rGO modified MFC anode was used to assist microorganisms to decolorize methyl orange (MO), and the properties of MFCs were studied. The results showed that compared to the unmodified electrode MFC (28 mA m-2, 4.20 mW m-2) the current density and maximum power density of the anode MFC modified by COFBTA-DPPD-rGO (134.5 mA m-2, 21.78 mW m-2) were increased by 380.3% and 423.6%, respectively. The transferred electron number n and charge transfer coefficient α of the modified COFBTA-DPPD-rGO anode (4 and 0.43) compared to the unmodified electrode (2.4 and 0.38) were increased by 67% and 13%, respectively. The decolorization ratio of MO could reach 90.3% at 10 h. Compared with the unmodified electrode MFC (53.0%), the decolorization ratio and kinetic constant of decolorization process were enhanced by 26% and 372%, respectively. Therefore, COFBTA-DPPD-rGO could be a new choice for applying to the MFCs.

Abstract
Immobilizing electro-active microbes within polymer matrices (thereby forming biohybrids) is a promising approach to accelerate microbial attachment to electrodes and increase the biofilm robustness. However, little is known on the fine scale chemical environment that develops within the electro-active biohybrids. Herein, we develop a biohybrid by immobilizing a culture of Shewanella oneidensis MR1 in agar matrix on the surface of a graphite electrode poised at +0.25 V. The resulting bioanode (3-6 mm thick) was grown under anoxic conditions and produced a steady current of 40 μA. Oxygen and pH distribution within the biohybrid were characterized in-situ using microsensors. As Shewanella is a facultative aerobe, it will halt the current production in the presence of oxygen. Thus, in addition, we investigated the alteration of the microenvironment during and after aeration of the medium to evaluate the oxygen tolerance of the system. During aeration, oxygen was effectively consumed in the top layers of the biofilm, leaving a 400-900 μm thick anoxic zone on the anode surface, that sustained >60% of the initial current. Current production recovered to pre-oxic condition within 5 h after the aeration was stopped, showing that immobilization can promote both high resistance and resilience of the system. Despite the absence of strong buffering conditions, pH profiles indicated a maximum drop of 0.2 units across the biohybrid. Characterizing the chemical microenvironment helps to elucidate the mechanistic functioning of artificial biofilms and hold a great potential for the designing of future, more effective biohybrid electrodes.

Abstract
Shewanella plays an important role in geochemical cycle, biological corrosion, bioremediation and bioenergy. The development of methods for identifying Shewanella can provide technical support for its rapid screening, in-depth research into its extracellular respiratory mechanism and its application in ecological environment remediation. As a tool for microbial classification, identification and detection, Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has high feasibility and application potential. In this work, bio-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as SERS substrates to effectively distinguish different types of Shewanella bacteria based on the difference in bacterial extracellular electron transfer (EET) ability. AgNPs were combined with the analyzed bacteria to prepare "Bacteria-AgNPs" SERS samples, which can strongly enhance the Raman signal of the target bacteria and reliably obtain spatial information of different molecular functional groups of each bacteria. Our developed approach can effectively distinguish between non-metal reducing and metal-reducing bacteria, and can further distinguish the three subspecies of Shewanella (Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, Shewanella decolorationis S12, and Shewanella putrefaciens SP200) at the genus and species level. The Raman signal enhancement is presumably caused by the excitation of local surface plasma (LSP) and the enhancement of surrounding electric field. Therefore, our developed method can achieve interspecific and intraspecies discrimination of bacteria. The proposed method can be extended to distinguish other metal-reducing bacteria, and the novel SERS active substrates can be developed for practical applications.

Abstract
Electrochemically active microorganisms (EAMs) play an important role in the fields of environment and energy. Shewanella is the most common EAM. Research into Shewanella contributes to a deeper comprehension of EAMs and expands practical applications. In this review, the outward and inward extracellular electron transfer (EET) mechanisms of Shewanella are summarized and the roles of riboflavin in outward and inward EET are compared. Then, four methods for the enhancement of EET performance are discussed, focusing on riboflavin, intracellular reducing force, biofilm formation and substrate spectrum, respectively. Finally, the applications of Shewanella in the environment are classified, and the restrictions are discussed. Potential solutions and promising prospects for Shewanella are also provided.

Abstract
Iodate (IO3-) can be abiotically reduced by Fe(II) or biotically reduced by the dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis (MR-1) via its DmsEFAB and MtrCAB. However, the intermediates and stoichiometry between the Fe(II) and IO3- reaction and the relative contribution of abiotic and biotic IO3- reduction by biogenic Fe(II) and MR-1 in the presence of Fe(III) remain unclear. In this study, we found that abiotic reduction of IO3- by Fe(II) produced intermediates HIO and I- at a ratio of 1:2, followed by HIO disproportionation to I- and IO3-. Comparative analyses of IO3- reduction by MR-1 wild type (WT), MR-1 mutants deficient in DmsEFAB or MtrCAB, and Shewanella sp. ANA-3 in the presence of Fe(III)-citrate, Fe(III) oxides, or clay minerals showed that abiotic IO3- reduction by biogenic Fe(II) predominated under iron-rich conditions, while biotic IO3- reduction by DmsEFAB played a more dominant role under iron-poor conditions. Compared to that in the presence of Fe(III)-citrate, MR-1 WT reduced more IO3- in the presence of Fe(III) oxides and clay minerals. The observed abiotic and biotic IO3- reduction by MR-1 under Fe-rich and Fe-limited conditions suggests that Fe(III)-reducing bacteria could contribute to the transformation of iodine species and I- enrichment in natural iodine-rich environments.

Abstract
Dynamic therapies have potential in cancer treatments but have limitations in efficiency and penetration depth. Here a membrane-integrated liposome (MIL) is created to coat titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to enhance electron transfer and increase radical production under low-dose X-ray irradiation. The exoelectrogenic Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 microorganism presents an innate capability for extracellular electron transfer (EET). An EET-mimicking photocatalytic system is created by coating the TiO2 nanoparticles with the MIL, which significantly enhances superoxide anions generation under low-dose (1 Gy) X-ray activation. The c-type cytochromes-constructed electron channel in the membrane mimics electron transfer to surrounding oxygen. Moreover, the hole transport in the valence band is also observed for water oxidation to produce hydroxyl radicals. The TiO2@MIL system is demonstrated against orthotopic liver tumours in vivo.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) is a toxic substance that poses a serious ecological threat when released into the environment. The species and redox state of Sb determine its environmental toxicity and fate. Understanding the redox transformations and biogeochemical cycling of Sb is crucial for analyzing and predicting its environmental behavior. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the environment greatly affects the fate of Sb. Microbially produced DOM is a vital component of environmental DOM; however, its specific role in Sb(III) oxidation has not been experimentally confirmed. In this work, the oxidation capacity of several Shewanella strains and their derived DOM to Sb(III) was confirmed. The oxidation rate of Sb(III) shows a positive correlation with DOM concentration, with higher rates observed under neutral and weak alkaline conditions, regardless of the presence of light. Incubation experiments indicated that extracellular enzymes and common reactive oxygen species were not involved in the oxidation of Sb(III). Characteristics of DOM suggests that microbial humic acid-like and fulvic acid-like substances are the potential contributors to Sb(III) oxidation. These findings not only experimentally validate the role of bacterial-derived DOM in Sb(III) oxidation but also reveal the significance of Shewanella and biogenic DOM in the biogeochemical cycling of Sb.

Abstract
The compost-derived humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) contain abundant active functional groups with strong redox capacity, which can function as an electron shuttles for promoting the reduction of heavy metals, thus changing the form of the pollutants in the environment and reducing their toxicity. Therefore, in this study, UV-Vis, FTIR, 3D-EEM, electrochemical analysis were applied to study the spectral characteristics and electron transfer capacity (ETC) of HA and FA. Upon analysis, the results showed an increasing trend of ETC and humification degree (SUVA254) for both HA and FA during composting. However, the aromatic degree (SUVA280) of HA was higher than FA. After 7 days of culture, 37.95% of Cr (Ⅵ) was reduced by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1) alone. Whereas, only if HA or FA existed, the diminution of Cr (Ⅵ) reached 37.43% and 40.55%, respectively. However, the removal rate of Cr (Ⅵ) by HA/MR-1 and FA/MR-1 increased to 95.82% and 93.84% respectively. It indicated that HA and FA acted as electron shuttles, mediating the transfer of electrons between MR-1 and the final electron acceptor, effectively facilitating the bioreduction of Cr (Ⅵ) to Cr (Ⅲ) and also determined via correlation analysis. This study suggested compost-derived HA and FA coupling with MR-1 exhibited excellent performance for the bioreduction of Cr (Ⅵ) to Cr (Ⅲ).

Abstract
This study employs a bibliography study method to evaluate 472 papers focused on Shewanella oneidensis biofilms. Biofilms, which are formed when microorganisms adhere to surfaces or interfaces, play a crucial role in various natural, engineered, and medical settings. Within biofilms, microorganisms are enclosed in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), creating a stable working environment. This characteristic enhances the practicality of biofilm-based systems in natural bioreactors, as they are less susceptible to temperature and pH fluctuations compared to enzyme-based bioprocesses. Shewanella oneidensis, a nonpathogenic bacterium with the ability to transfer electrons, serves as an example of a species isolated from its environment that exhibits extensive biofilm applications. These applications, such as heavy metal removal, offer potential benefits for environmental engineering and human health. This paper presents a comprehensive examination and review of the biology and engineering aspects of Shewanella biofilms, providing valuable insights into their functionality.

Abstract
Electron shuttles (ESs) and Fe-bearing clay minerals are commonly found in subsurface environments and have shown potential in enhancing the bioreduction of Cr(VI). However, the synergistic effect of ESs at different redox potentials and Fe-bearing clay minerals on Cr(VI) bioreduction, as well as the fundamental principles governing this process, remain unclear. In our study, we investigated the role of ESs and Fe(III) in Cr(VI) bioreduction. We found that the acceleration of ESs and Fe(III) are crucial factors in this process. Interestingly, the promotion of ESs on Cr(VI) and Fe(III) showed opposite trends. Electrochemical methods confirmed the limited steps are the extent of reduced ESs and the redox potential difference between ESs and Fe(III), separately. Furthermore, we investigated the combined effect of ESs and NAu-2 on Cr(VI) bioreduction. Our results revealed two segments: in the first segment, the ES (5-HNQ) and NAu-2 did not synergistically enhance Cr(VI) reduction. However, in the second segment, ESs and NAu-2 demonstrated a synergistic effect, significantly increasing Cr(VI) reduction by MR-1. These bioreduction processes all follow linear free energy relationships (LFERs). Overall, our study highlights the fundamental principles governing multivariate systems and presents a promising approach for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated sites.

Abstract
The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum triestinum forms high biomass blooms that discolor the water (red tides), which may pose a serious threat to marine fauna and aquaculture exploitations. In this study, the algicidal effect of a bacterial strain (0YLH) belonging to the genus Shewanella was identified and evaluated against P. triestinum. The algicidal effects on the dinoflagellate were observed when P. triestinum was exposed to cell-free supernatant (CFS) from stationary-phase cultures of the 0YLH strain. After 24 h exposure, a remarkable reduction in the photosynthetic efficiency of P. triestinum was achieved (55.9%), suggesting the presence of extracellular bioactive compounds produced by the bacteria with algicidal activity. Furthermore, the CFS exhibited stability and maintained its activity across a wide range of temperatures (20-120 °C) and pH values (3-11). These findings highlight the algicidal potential of the bacterium Shewanella halifaxensis 0YLH as a promising tool for the environmentally friendly biological control of P. triestinum blooms.

Abstract
A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out on a Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped strain, ER-Te-42B-LightT, isolated from the tissue of a tube worm, Riftia pachyptila, collected near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent of the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the Pacific Ocean. This bacterium was capable of performing anaerobic respiration using tellurite, tellurate, selenite and orthovanadate as terminal electron acceptors. While facultatively anaerobic, it could aerobically resist tellurite, selenite and orthovanadate up to 2000, 7000 and 10000 µg ml-1, respectively, reducing each oxide to elemental forms. Nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity related the strain to Shewanella, with 98.8 and 98.7 % similarity to Shewanella basaltis and Shewanella algicola, respectively. The dominant fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C16 : 1. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol and MK-7 was the predominant quinone. DNA G+C content was 42.5 mol%. Computation of average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values with the closest phylogenetic neighbours of ER-Te-42B-LightT revealed genetic divergence at the species level, which was further substantiated by differences in several physiological characteristics. Based on the obtained results, this bacterium was assigned to the genus Shewanella as a new species with the name Shewanella metallivivens sp. nov., type strain ER-Te-42B-LightT (=VKM B-3580T=DSM 113370T).

Abstract
The microbially- and chemically-mediated redox process is critical in controlling the fate of vanadium (V) in tailing environment. Although the microbial reduction of V has been widely studied, the coupled biotic reduction mediated by beneficiation reagents and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. Herein, the reduction and redistribution of V in V-containing tailings and Fe/Mn oxide aggregates mediated by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and oxalic acid were explored. The dissolution of Fe-(hydr)oxides by oxalic acid promoted the microbe-mediated V release from solid-phase. After 48-day of reaction, the dissolved V concentrations in the bio-oxalic acid treatment reached maximum values of 1.72 ± 0.36 mg L-1 and 0.42 ± 0.15 mg L-1 in the tailing system and the aggregate system, respectively, significantly higher than those in control (0.63 ± 0.14 mg L-1 and 0.08 ± 0.02 mg L-1). As the electron donor, oxalic acid enhanced the electron transfer process of S. oneidensis MR-1 for V(V) reduction. The mineralogical characterization of final products indicates that S. oneidensis MR-1 and oxalic acid promoted solid-state conversion from V2O5 to NaV6O15. Collectively, this study demonstrates that microbe-mediated V release and redistribution in solid-phase were promoted by oxalic acid, suggesting that the role of organic agents for the V biogeochemical cycle in natural systems deserves greater attention.

Abstract
Whole-cell biosensors are an important class of analytical tools that offer the advantages of low cost, facile operation, and unique reproduction/regeneration ability. However, it has always been quite challenging to expand the sensing spectrum of the host. Here, a new approach to extend the cell sensing spectrum with biomineralized nanoparticles is developed. The nano-biohybrid design comprise biomineralized FeS nanoparticles firmly anchored onto the bacterium, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, wherein the nanoparticles are wired to the cellular electron transfer machinery (MtrCAB/OmcA) of the bacterium, forming an artificial cyborgian redox machinery consisting of FeS-MtrCAB/OmcA-FccA. Strikingly, with this cyborgian redox machinery, the sensing spectrum of FeS hybridized S. oneidensis MR-1 cell is successfully expanded to enable whole-cell electrochemical detection of Vitamin B12, while an unhybridized native cell is incapable of sensing. This proof-of-concept nano-biohybrid design offers a new perspective on manipulating the microbial toolkit for an expanded sensing spectrum in whole-cell biosensors.

Abstract
Substitution of aluminum under natural environmental conditions has been proven to inhibit the transformation of weakly crystalline iron (oxyhydr)-oxides towards well crystalline iron oxides, thereby enhancing their long-term stability. However, exploration on the role of aluminum substitution in bacteria-mediated iron oxides transformation is relatively lacking, especially in the anaerobic underground condition where iron (oxyhydr)-oxides are easy to reduced. In this study, we selected four different levels of substitution aluminum prevalent in iron oxides under natural conditions, which are 0 mol%, 10 mol%, 20 mol%, and 30 mol% (mol Al/mol (Al + Fe)) respectively. With the presence of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, we conducted a 15-day anaerobic microcosm experiment in simulated groundwater conditions. The experiment data suggested that aluminum substitution result in a decrease in bio-reduction rate constants of ferrihydrite from 0.24 in 0 mol% Al to 0.17 in 30 mol% Al. Besides, when containing substituted aluminum, secondary minerals produced by biological reduction of ferrihydrite changed from magnetite to akaganeite. These results were attributed to the surface coverage of Al during the reduction process, which affects the contact between S. oneidensis MR-1 and the unexposed Fe(III), thus inhibiting the further reduction of ferrihydrite. Since iron (oxyhydr)-oxides exhibit a strong affinity on multiple kinds of pollutants, results in this study may contribute to predicting the migration and preservation of contaminants in groundwater systems.

Abstract
Biochar can mediate extracellular electron transfer (EET) of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and subsequently facilitate dissimilatory reduction of iron(III) minerals. Previous studies mainly focused on the interaction of biochar and membrane cytochrome complexes to reveal the mediating mechanisms between biochar and S. oneidensis MR-1. However, the influence of biochar on the production and activity of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) has long been neglected, despite the fact that EPS are commonly exudated by S. oneidensis MR-1 and can participate in a variety of electron transfer processes due to their redox activity. Here, we performed a series of microbial ferrihydrite reduction experiments in combination with electrochemical voltametric and impedance analyses to investigate the role of biochar in the formation and transformation of cell EPS during EET. Results showed that the added biochar not only functioned as an electron shuttle facilitating electron transfer, but also induced the secretion of five times more EPS by S. oneidensis MR-1, leading to a 1.4-fold faster ferrihydrite reduction in comparison with biochar-free setups. We further extracted the secreted EPS and found that the proportion of redox-active exoproteins was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the EPS and resulted in a higher electron exchange capacity in secreted EPS. Such increased exoprotein content also induced a higher ratio of exoprotein to exopolysaccharide, which largely dropped diffusion and electron transfer impedance of EPS to 1.1 and 18 Ω, respectively, and accelerated the EET and thus the ferrihydrite reduction. Overall, our findings revealed the interactions between biochar and EPS matrices, which could potentially play a critical role in EET processes in both environmental or biotechnological systems.

Abstract
Bacteria from the genus Shewanella are inhabitants of marine and freshwater ecosystems, recognized fish spoilage bacteria, but less known as fish disease agents. Shewanella spp. isolated from fish living in waters close to effluents of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) were not previously characterized. We have tested Shewanella isolates from WWTP-affected waters and related fish. Genotypic characterization identified most strains as S. baltica and S. oneidensis. In order to investigate the sensibility and accuracy of their MALDI-TOF MS identification, they were grown on two culture media enriched by various NaCl concentrations, incubated at different temperatures and duration. We analyzed their antimicrobial susceptibility on a panel of antimicrobial drugs and capacity for biofilm production. With a view to demonstrate their capacity to produce fatty acids, we assessed the impact of different culture media on their lipid profile. We performed zebrafish embryotoxicity tests to simulate the environmental infection of the earliest life stages in S. baltica-contaminated waters. The best MALDI-TOF MS identification scores were for strains cultivated on TSA for 24 h at 22 °C and with supplementation of 1.5% NaCl. Less than 17% of isolates demonstrated antimicrobial resistance. Most isolates were weak biofilm producers. Strain-to-strain variation of MIC and MBC was low. The major fatty acids were C15:0, C16:0, C16:1, C17:1, and iC15:0. Exposure of Danio rerio to different S. baltica concentrations induced severe effects on zebrafish development: decreased heartbeat rate, locomotor activity, and melanin pigmentation. S. baltica passed through chorionic pores of zebrafish.

Abstract
A novel photosensitized living biohybrid was fabricated by inward-to-outward assembly of amine-functionalized carbon dots (NCDs) and polydopamine (PDA) to Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and applied for high-efficiency, microbial-photoreduction of Cr(VI). Within a 72 h test period, biohybrids achieved a pronounced catalytic reduction capacity (100%) for 100 mg/L Cr(VI) under visible illumination, greatly surpassing the poor capacity (only 2.5%) displayed by the wild strain under dark conditions. Modular configurations of NCDs and PDA afforded biohybrids with a large electron flux by harvesting extracellular photoelectrons generated from illuminated NCDs and increasing reducing equivalents released from an enlarged intracellular NADH/NAD+ pool. Further, increased production of intracellular c-type cytochromes and extracellular flavins resulting from the modular configuration enhanced the biohybrid electron transport ability. The enhancement of electron transport was also attributed to more conductive conduits at NCDs-PDA junction interfaces. Moreover, because NCDs are highly reductive, the enhanced Cr(VI) reduction was also attributed to direct reduction by the NCDs and the direct Cr(VI) reduction by sterile NCDs-assembled biohybrid was up to 20% in the dark. Overall, a highly efficient strategy for removal/transformation of Cr(VI) by using NCD-assembled photosensitized biohybrids was proposed in this work, which greatly exceeded the performance of Cr(VI)-remediation strategies based on conventional microbial technologies.

Abstract
Owing to their widespread application and use, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics coexist in the sewage treatment systems. In this study, the effects and mechanisms of the combined stress of MPs and ciprofloxacin (CIP) on phosphorus removal by phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) were investigated. This study found that the four types of MPs and CIP exhibited different antagonistic effects on the inhibition of phosphorus removal by PAO. MPs reduced the effective concentration of CIP through adsorption and thus reduced its toxicity, which was affected by the biofilms on MPs. In addition, CIP may cause PAO to produce more extracellular polymeric substances, which reduces the physical and oxidative stress of MPs on PAO. Our results are helpful as they increase the understanding of the effects of complex emerging pollutants in sewage systems and propose measures to strengthen the biological phosphorus removal in sewage treatment processes.

Abstract
Vivianite is often found in reducing environments rich in iron and phosphorus from organic debris degradation or phosphorus mineral dissolution. The formation of vivianite is essential to the geochemical cycling of phosphorus and iron elements in natural environments. In this study, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were selected as the source of phosphorus. Microcosm experiments were conducted to test the evolution of mineralogy during the reduction of polyferric sulfate flocs (PFS) by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (S. oneidensis MR-1) at EPS concentrations of 0, 0.03, and 0.3 g/L. Vivianite was found to be the secondary mineral in EPS treatment when there was no phosphate in the media. The EPS DNA served as the phosphorus source and DNA-supplied phosphate could induce the formation of vivianite. EPS impedes PFS aggregation, contains redox proteins and stores electron shuttle, and thus greatly promotes the formation of minerals and enhances the reduction of Fe(III). At EPS concentration of 0, 0.03, and 0.3 g/L, the produced HCl-extractable Fe(II) was 107.9, 111.0, and 115.2 mg/L, respectively. However, when the microcosms remained unstirred, vivianite can be formed without the addition of EPS. In unstirred systems, the EPS secreted by S. oneidensis MR-1 could agglomerate at some areas, resulting in the formation of vivianite in the proximity of microbial cells. It was found that vivianite can be generated biogenetically by S. oneidensis MR-1 strain and EPS may play a key role in iron reduction and concentrating phosphorus in the oligotrophic ecosystems where quiescent conditions prevail.

Abstract
Silver is an antimicrobial agent that is used extensively in consumer products, such as fabrics and humidifiers. Silver ion (Ag+) uptake in bacteria represents a crucial phase of antimicrobial activity. However, the uptake mechanism of Ag+ in bacteria remains largely unknown. The genus Shewanella drives many geochemical processes of nutrients and pollutants in soils. In the present study, Ag+ uptake by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was first investigated in a laboratory in defined anaerobic, oligotrophic, and inorganic media with or without cations (potassium ions [K+], magnesium ions [Mg2+], and zinc ions [Zn2+]). Our results revealed variations in antimicrobial activity of Ag+ in the presence of Mg2+ and Zn2+. First, Mg2+ significantly decreased antimicrobial activity of Ag+ in S. oneidensis MR-1 by inhibiting cellular Ag+ uptake when compared with K+. The results were consistent with that of Co2+ (Mg2+ channel blocker) decreased Ag+ uptake by S. oneidensis MR-1. Moreover, Mg2+ promoted riboflavin secretion and facilitated the formation of metallic Ag nanoparticles on bacterial surfaces, which was beneficial for extracellular electron transfer and consequently reduced antibacterial activity of Ag+. Second, Zn2+ increased the antimicrobial activity of Ag+ in S. oneidensis MR-1, although the effect on Ag+ uptake was minimal. A synergistic interaction between Zn2+ and Ag+ led to an increase in dead cells and decreased ferrihydrite reduction capacity. The findings suggest that Mg2+ could reduce the environmental risk of Ag+ to soil bacteria, while Zn2+ should be of particular concern due to its synergistic antimicrobial effect on bacteria.

Abstract
The reduction of hexavalent chromium combined with the process of dissimilatory iron reduction is an important strategy for microbial remediation of chromium-contaminated soil. However, its applicability is limited by the slow speed of bacterial bioreduction and the toxic effect of heavy metals on bacteria. Here, biochar (BC) was used as a substrate and was loaded with iron oxide in the form of hematite and Shewanella loihica to synthesize a BC@α-Fe2O3@S. loihica complex and thus achieve combined microbial-chemical remediation. After optimization by a Box-Behnken design, the optimal dosages of the complex, humic acid (as an electron shuttle), and sodium lactate (as an electron donor) were found to be 1.38 mL/g, 33.94 mg/g, and 12.95%, respectively. The Cr(VI) reduction rate in soil contaminated with 1000 mg/kg Cr(VI) reached 98.26%, and remediation could be achieved within 7 days. Characterization of the BC@α-Fe2O3@S. loihica complex before and after it was used for remediation by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved that the oxygen-containing functional groups and aromatic compounds on the surface of the BC participated in the adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) and that the loaded hematite particles were fully utilized by microorganisms. Therefore, the BC@α-Fe2O3@S. loihica complex has great potential for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Synthetic biology has promoted the development of microbial therapy, but the scope of applicable microbial species is limited and transgenic microorganisms also display safety risks for in vivo applications. Interestingly, symbiotic microorganisms in nature can achieve functional updates by metabolic cooperation. Here, we report on a nongenetic method for engineering microorganisms to construct a heavy metal ion reduction system, which was prepared by linking Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (SO) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). SO could reduce metal ions but is limited by finite substrates in vivo. LGG could metabolize glucose to lactate as a substrate for SO, promoting extracellular electron transfer by SO and heavy metal ion reduction. Meanwhile, SO could generate electron donor cytochrome C to promote metabolism of LGG, forming metabolic synergy and circulation between these two bacteria. The SO-LGG system shows splendid ability to remove heavy metal ions and inflammatory modulation in acute or chronic heavy metal poisoning.

Abstract
Shewanella algae (S. algae) is a rare bacterium that causes infectious diseases in humans. Herein, we present a case of an 84-year-old man with S. algae-induced bacteremia and performed a review of 12 cases identified via a literature search and this case. Literature review of previous reports in Japan have revealed that 69.2% of patients with S. algae-induced bacteremia had a history of contact with fresh fish. Appropriate interviews of patients, especially in the hot season, and the accurate identification of the causative bacterium, by using techniques such as MALDI-TOF-MS and genetic testing, are necessary if S. algae or other bacteria from the genus Shewanella are detected in blood-culture tests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) has important commercial value because of its high nutritional value and delicious taste. However, large yellow croaker is readily affected by microorganisms during storage, which causes the corruption of muscle tissue. Both chitosan (CS) and apple polyphenols (APs) are bio-preservatives, which can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms and improve the quality of large yellow croaker. The effects of 10.0 and 20.0 g L-1 CS combined with 1.0 g L-1 AP coating on the quality and microbial composition of large yellow croaker during ice storage were investigated respectively. RESULTS CS + AP coating restrained the increase of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and biogenic amines, slowed down the rise of K-value and retarded the growth of microorganisms. The bacteriostatic effect was positively correlated with the concentration of CS. Through the analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS), the microbial diversity was changed respectively. The proportion of Shewanella was significantly decreased by CS + AP coating treatment and Pseudomonas was the dominant microorganism in spoiled samples. Compared with the shelf-life of the control group (8 days), 20.0 g L-1 CS combined with 1.0 g L-1 AP coating treatment could extend the shelf-life of large yellow croaker for another 8 days. CONCLUSIONS CS combined with AP coating may be considered a promising method to delay the biochemical changes of ice stored large yellow croaker and extend its shelf life. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The enrichment of various pollutants in mangrove has attracted widespread attention. Especially, microplastics accumulation in mangrove may provide a more challenging ecological colonization site by enriching pollutants, thus affecting the change of microplastics antibiotic resistance and increasing the risk of antibiotic failure. Herein, the antibiotic-resistant of microplastics and sediment from mangrove were investigated. The results show that isolates are mainly colonized by Vibrio parahemolyticus (V. parahemolyticus), Vibrio alginolyticus (V. alginolyticus), and Shewanella. 100% mangrove microplastics isolates are resistant to chloramphenicol, cefazolin, and tetracycline, especially amoxicillin clavulanate and ampicillin. Meanwhile, the multiple antibiotics resistance (MAR) indexes of V. parahaemolyticus, Shewanella, and V. alginolyticus in mangrove microplastics are 0.72, 0.77, and 0.77, respectively, which are far higher than the MAR index standard (0.2) and that of mangrove sediment isolates. Furthermore, compared with V. parahaemolyticus isolated from the same mangrove microplastics, Shewanella and V. alginolyticus show stronger drug resistance. It should be noted that there is a closely related relationship between the type of microplastics and the antibiotics resistance of isolated bacteria. For the antibiotics sensitivity test of norfloxacin, streptomycin, amoxicillin, and chloramphenicol, V. parahaemolyticus have the lower antibiotics resistance than that of V. alginolyticus isolated from the same mangrove microplastics. However, Vibrio isolated from PE has stronger antibiotics resistance. Results reveal that mangrove may be one of the potential risks for emergence and spread of bacterial antibiotics-resistant and multidrug-resistant, and microplastic biofilms may act as promoters of bacterial antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Aging populations in warm climates might expect an increasing burden of these infections. The epidemiology of bloodstream infections caused by Shewanella spp. is not well defined. Our objective was to define the incidence and determinants of Shewanella spp. bloodstream infections by using population-based surveillance in Queensland, Australia during 2000‒2019. The incidence was 1.0 cases/1 million persons annually and was highest during summer and in the tropical Torres and Cape region. Older persons and male patients were at highest risk. At least 1 concurrent condition was documented in 75% of case-patients, and 30-day all cause case-fatality rate was 15%. Aging populations in warm climates might expect an increasing burden of these infections.

Abstract
The bio-removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from wastewater is usually very poor. In this paper a new efficient method to biodegrade SMX was reported. The SMX biodegradation efficiency by Paracoccus denitrificans was observed to be remarkably enhanced from 48.9% to 94.2% after Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 addition. The mechanisms investigation revealed that P. denitrificans was the dominant microbe for SMX biodegradation. Although SMX biodegradation by S. oneidensis MR-1 alone was negligible, its presence advanced NADH generation. The proteomics assay revealed that the expression of key proteins relevant with complex I and III and cytochrome c in electron transfer chain were increased due to P. denitrificans acquiring iron from periplasm to cytoplasm being improved. In addition, the extracellular electron transfer capability was enhanced as S. oneidensis MR-1 not only produced flavin, but caused P. denitrificans to secret more extracellular polymeric substances. Further investigation indicated that the expression of key enzymes related to electron consumption in SMX biodegradation was up-regulated. Based on these findings, the pathways of S. oneidensis MR-1 promoting SMX biodegradation were proposed. As all nitrate could be removed with almost no nitrite accumulation, this study would also provide an attractive way for simultaneous bio-removal of multiple pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Functional material synthesis through biomineralization is effective and environmentally friendly. Biomineralized manganese (Mn) oxides are important for remediation and energy storage. Manganese(II) biomineralization is achieved by a diverse group of bacteria. We show that in the presence of oxygen the dissimilatory manganese-reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 can oxidize Mn(II). The Mn(II) oxidation was accelerated with the increase in the initial Mn(II) concentration from 0.5 to 3 mM. The reaction was mainly associated with a cell-free filtrate, rather than the direct enzymatic oxidation or indirect oxidation by reactive oxygen species or macrocyclic siderophores. Instead, indirect oxidization of Mn(II) into soluble Mn(III) and bixbyite-like Mn2O3 via microbially produced extracellular ligands (molecular weights of 1-3 kDa) was identified. This work broadens our view about microbial Mn(II) oxidation and unveils the important roles of Shewanella species in the geochemical cycling of manganese.

Abstract
The dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacteria play a significant role in the mobility of antimony (Sb) under reducing environment. Sb-rich smelting slag is iron (Fe)-containing antimonic mine waste, which is one of the main sources of antimony pollution. In this study, the soluble antimony reacted with Fe(III) by S. oneidensis (Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1) was performed in reduction condition, then the dissolution behavior of the Sb-rich smelting slag with S. oneidensis was investigated. The results showed that the released Sb was immobilized by S. oneidensis and the strain adsorbed Sb(III) preferentially. Sb(V) can be reduced by S. oneidensis without aqueous Fe. In the presence of Fe(III), S. oneidensis mediated Sb bio-adsorption and the chemical redox of Sb-Fe occurred simultaneously. Sb was co-precipitated with Fe to form the Sb(V)-O-Fe(III) secondary mineral, which was identified as the bidentate mononuclear edge-sharing structure by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. These results suggest that S. oneidensis has a positive effect on the immobilization and minimizing toxicity of antimony in anoxic soil and groundwater, which provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of antimony contamination.

Abstract
Biochar, carbonaceous material produced from biomass pyrolysis, has been demonstrated to have electron transfer property (associated with redox active groups and multi condensed aromatic moiety), and to be also involved in biogeochemical redox reactions. In this study, the enhanced removal of Cr(VI) by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1(MR-1) in the presence of biochars with different pyrolysis temperatures (300 to 800 °C) was investigated to understand how biochar interacts with Cr(VI) reducing bacteria under anaerobic condition. The promotion effects of biochar (as high as 1.07~1.47 fold) were discovered in this process, of which the synergistic effect of BMBC700(ball milled biochar) and BMBC800 with MR-1 was noticeable, in contrast, the synergistic effect of BMBCs (300-600 °C) with MR-1 was not recognized. The more enhanced removal effect was observed with the increase of BMBC dosage for BMBC700+MR-1 group. The conductivity and conjugated O-containing functional groups of BMBC700 particles themselves has been proposed to become a dominant factor for the synergistic action with this strain. And, the smallest negative Zeta potential of BMBC700 and BMBC800 is thought to favor decreasing the distance from microbe than other BMBCs. The results are expected to provide some technical considerations and scientific insight for the optimization of bioreduction by useful microbes combining with biochar composites to be newly developed.

Abstract
Silver ions (Ag+) directly emitted from industrial sources or released from manufactured Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) in biosolid-amended soils have raised concern about the risk to ecosystems. However, our knowledge of Ag+ toxicity, internalization, and transformation mechanisms to bacteria is still insufficient. Here, we combine the advanced technologies of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to visualize the potential formed AgNPs inside the bacteria and evaluate the contributions of biological and non-biological processes in the uptake and transformation of Ag+ by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The results showed a dose-dependent toxicity of Ag+ to S. oneidensis MR-1 in the ferrihydrite bioreduction process, which was primarily induced by the actively internalized Ag. Moreover, both HSI and cross-section high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results confirmed that Ag inside the bacteria existed in the form of particulate. The Ag mass distribution in and around live and inactivated cells demonstrated that the uptake and transformation of Ag+ by S. oneidensis MR-1 were mainly via biological process. The bioaccumulation of Ag+ may be lethal to bacteria. A better understanding of the uptake and transformation of Ag+ in bacteria is central to predict and monitor the key factors that control Ag partitioning dynamics at the biointerface, which is critical to develop practical risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Abstract
Bacteria may change the physicochemical properties of montmorillonite and further effect the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Therefore, we explored the influence of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 on the elimination of representative radionuclide U(VI) by montmorillonite (MMT). The batch experiments showed that MR-1 significantly enhanced the removal efficiency of U(VI), the adsorption capacity of MMT improved from 8.4 to 16.1 mg/g after addition of MR-1, and the adsorption type changed from Langmuir to Freundlich. FTIR and XPS analysis revealed that hydroxyl, phosphate, carbonyl and amine in MMT + MR-1 were primary actors in the elimination of U(VI). The U 4f high-resolution XPS spectrum of MMT + MR-1 showed U(VI) and U(IV) peaks at the same time, indicating that the adsorption process was accompanied by the reduction reaction, which may be due to the extracellular respiration of MR-1. These investigations are significant to insight the potential significance of microbial processes for the transport and elimination of U(VI) in repositories, which in return will contribute to their safe disposal.

Biogenic iron sulfide functioning as electron-mediating interface to accelerate dissimilatory ferrihydrite reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Chemosphere 2022; 288:132661.

Abstract
Microbially driven iron and sulfur geochemical cycles co-exist ubiquitously in subsurface environments and are of environmental relevance. Shewanella species (dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria) are capable of reducing Fe(III)-(oxyhydr)oxide minerals and diverse sulfur sources using corresponding metabolic pathways and producing FeS secondary minerals. In spite of the ability in promoting bacterial extracellular electron transfer (EET), the specific role of FeS in mediating EET between microbe/mineral interface is still unclear. In this work, the electron-mediating function of biogenic FeS on promoting the reduction of ferrihydrite by S. oneidensis MR-1 using thiosulfate as sulfur source was investigated in terms of Fe(III) reduction percentage, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the microbial ferrihydrite reduction was pH-dependent and positively correlated with the addition of thiosulfate. In the presence of thiosulfate, biogenic FeS in nano-scale were formed and deposited on the surfaces of S. oneidensis MR-1 and ferrihydrite to build an interfacial electron transfer bridge between them. The addition of either thiosulfate and in-vitro FeS could rescue the entirely inactivated ability of the mutant (△omcA/mtrC) in ferrihydrite reduction to some extent, but which was obviously inferior to the wild-type strain. Meanwhile, the effect of the biogenic FeS in-situ coating on the surfaces of S. oneidensis MR-1 cells on promoting microbial ferrihydrite reduction was significantly superior to the in-vitro ones. Thus, the in-situ formed biogenic FeS secondary minerals were demonstrated to mediate and accelerate interfacial electron transfer from S. oneidensis MR-1 cells to ferrihydrite through interfacing with the bacterial EET routes, especially Mtr pathway. This work provides an insight into the secondary minerals-mediating interfacial electron transfer between microbes and minerals in the presence of biological S (-II), which has important biogeochemical and environmental implications.

Abstract
In materials science, "green" synthesis has gotten a lot of interest as a reliable, long-lasting, and ecofriendly way to make a variety of materials/nanomaterials, including metal/metal oxide nanomaterials. To accommodate various biological materials, green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has been used (e.g., bacteria, fungi, algae, and plant extracts). In this work, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was used to biosynthesize palladium nanoparticles (bioPd) under aerobic conditions for the Cr(VI) bio-reduction. The size and distribution of bio-Pd are controlled by adjusting the ratio of microbial biomass and palladium precursors. The high cell: Pd ratio has the smallest average particle size of 6.33 ± 1.69 nm. And it has the lowest electrocatalytic potential (-0.132 V) for the oxidation of formic acid, which is 0.158 V lower than commercial Pd/C (5%). Our results revealed that the small size and uniformly distributed extracellular bio-Pd could achieve completely catalytic reduction of 200 mg/L Cr(VI) solution within 10 min, while the commercial Pd/C (5%) need at least 45 min. The bio-Pd materials maintain a high reduction during five cycles. Microorganisms play an important role in the whole process, which can fully disperse palladium nanoparticles, completely reduce Cr(VI), and effectively adsorb Cr(III). This work expands our understanding and provides a reference for the design and development of efficient and green bio-Pd catalysts for environmental pollution control under simple and mild conditions.

Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the impact and efficiency of the bioaugmentation as a bioremediation technique in annoying effects of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (phenanthrene) on a community of free-living nematodes from Bizerte bay (Tunisia). For this purpose, closed microcosms were exposed to three doses of phananthrene (0.1 μg kg-1, 1 μg kg-1 and 10 μg kg-1), in combination or not with a strain of Shewanella oneidensis. After 40 days of the exposure, results were obtained at the numerical, taxonomic and feeding levels. The results of univariate analyses revealed significant decreases in most univariate indices for phenanthrene treated communities compared to controls, with a discernible increase in the proportion of epistrate feeders. After bioaugmentation, similar patterns were observed for univariate and multivariate analyses, with the exception of the highest treatment, which showed no difference from the controls. The results obtained showed that the bioaugmentation with Shewanellea oneidensis was highly effective in reducing the negative impact of the highest dose of phenanthrene (10 μg kg-1 Dry Weight) tested on meiobenthic nematodes. Furthermore, a combination of Shewanellea oneidensis and four omnivore-carnivore nematode taxa could be suggested as an effective method in the bioremediation of phenanthrene-contaminated sediment.

Abstract
Microfluidic microbial fuel cells (μ-MFCs) have received considerable attention due to their ability to generate green and qualitative self-sustainable energy. Several electrodes and device fabrication methodologies, and various electrochemically active bacteria (EABs), along with their effect on MFC performance with various operating parameters, have been well reported. However, shorter life, lower throughput, and high operating and maintenance overheads are major impediments to their development towards commercialization. In this context, simple and cost-effective bioelectrodes using printed circuit board (PCB) and a polymer based microchannel have been fabricated using modern photolithography and soft-lithography techniques respectively. Furthermore, the etched PCB electrodes were patterned with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Subsequently, these bioelectrodes were assembled over a Y-shaped microchannel and tested under a co-laminar microfluidic flow environment powered by Shewanella putrefaciens. Various volumetric bacterial experiments and flow rate studies have also been conducted to find the most appropriate optimum bacterial volume and power efficiency. Subsequently, extensive potentiometric electrochemical studies, such as Open Circuit Potential (OCP) and polarization analysis, were accomplished using electrochemical workstation. This well-developed handheld μ-MFCs yields a maximum open circuit potential 395 mV with maximum power density of 239.2 μW/cm2 (3.271 mA/cm2) at optimized parameters.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been extensively used to remove various pollutants. However, the rapid deactivation due to aggregation and surface passivation severely limits its practical application. In this study, a novel composite with nZVI supported by pinecone biochar (nZVI-PBC) was successfully synthesized and used for the removal of high concentration Cr(VI) from aqueous solution in the presence of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1). The results showed that the nZVI-PBC coupling with MR-1 (nZVI-PBC/MR-1) exhibited an excellent removal performance for high concentration Cr(VI) compared to the nZVI-PBC alone. Under optimal conditions, 100 mg/L Cr(VI) could be removed completely by nZVI-PBC/MR-1 within 48 h, while only 39.50% of Cr(VI) was removed by nZVI-PBC alone. The improvement of Cr(VI) removal is due to the dissolution of the surface passivation layer of nZVI-PBC, formation of sorbed Fe(II) in the presence of MR-1, and an important role of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) derived from MR-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Cr K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra (XANES) confirmed that most Cr(VI) was reduced to insoluble Cr(III) and formed Cr2O3, CrxFe1-x(OH)3 and FeCr2O4 precipitates, and a small amount of unreduced Cr(VI) was immobilized through adsorption and complexation. The results suggest that nZVI-PBC/MR-1 can effectively overcome the limitations of nZVI and achieve highly efficient removal of high concentration Cr(VI).

Abstract
Physicochemical properties are essential characteristics of organic compounds, which not only impact the fate of organic pollutants but also determine their application in biological processes. Here, we first found that the dielectric constants (ɛ) of organic pollutants negatively correlated to their strength for enhancing microbial Fe(III) reduction. Those with lower ɛ values than 2.61 potentially promoted the above process following the sequence carbon tetrachloride (CT) > benzene > toluene > tetrachloroethylene (PCE) due to their different ability to deprotonate the phosphorus-related groups on the outer cell membrane of iron-reducing bacteria Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1). The stronger deprotonation of phosphorus-related groups induced more negative charge of cell surface and more strongly increased cell membrane permeability and consequently stimulated faster release of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as an electron shuttle/cofactor for Fe(III) reduction. These findings are significant for understanding the biogeochemistry in multi-organic contaminated subsurface and providing knowledge for remediation strategies and current production.

Abstract
Biosynthesis has gained growing interest due to its energy efficiency and environmentally benign nature. Recently, biogenic iron sulfide nanoparticles (FeS NPs) have exhibited excellent performance in environmental remediation and energy recovery applications. However, their biosynthesis regulation strategy and application prospects in the biomedical field remain to be explored. Herein, biogenic FeS NPs are controllably synthesized by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and applied for cancer therapy. Tuning the synthesis rate and yield of biogenic FeS NPs is realized by altering the initial iron precursor dosage. Notably, increasing the precursor concentration decreases and delays FeS NP biosynthesis. The biogenic FeS NPs (30 nm) are homogeneously anchored on the cell surface of S. oneidensis MR-1. Moreover, the good hydrophilic nature and outstanding Fenton properties of the as-prepared FeS NPs endow them with good cancer therapy performance. The intracellular location of the FeS NPs taken up is visualized with a soft X-ray microscope (SXM). Highly efficient cancer cell killing can be achieved at extremely low concentrations (<12 μg mL-1), lower than those in reported works. Such good performance is attributed to the Fe2+ release, elevated ROS, reduced glutathione (GSH) consumption, and lipid hydroperoxide (LPO) generation. The resulting FeS NPs show excellent in vivo therapeutic performance. This work provides a facile, eco-friendly, and scalable approach to produce nanomedicine, demonstrating the potential of biogenic nanoparticles for use in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a metal-reducing bacterium that is able to exchange electrons with solid-phase minerals outside the cell. These bacterial cells can produce outer membrane extensions (OMEs) that are tens of nanometers wide and several microns long. The capability of these OMEs to transport electrons is currently under investigation. Tubular chemically fixed OMEs from S. oneidensis have shown good dc conducting properties when measured in an air environment. However, no direct demonstration of the conductivity of the more common bubble-like OMEs has been provided yet, due to the inherent difficulties in measuring it. In the present work, we measured the electrical properties of bubble-like OMEs in a dry air environment by Scanning Dielectric Microscopy (SDM) in force detection mode. We found that at the frequency of the measurements (∼2 kHz), OMEs show an insulating behavior, with an equivalent homogeneous dielectric constant εOME = 3.7 ± 0.7 and no dephasing between the applied ac voltage and the measured ac electric force. The dielectric constant measured for the OMEs is comparable to that obtained for insulating supramolecular protein structures (εprotein = 3-4), pointing towards a rich protein composition of the OMEs, probably coming from the periplasm. Based on the detection sensitivity of the measuring instrument, the upper limit for the ac longitudinal conductivity of bubble-like OMEs in a dry air environment has been set to σOME,ac < 10-5 S m-1, a value several orders of magnitude smaller than the dc conductivity measured in tubular chemically fixed OMEs. The lack of conductivity of bubble-like OMEs can be attributed to the relatively large separation between cytochromes in these larger OMEs and to the suppression of cytochrome mobility due to the dry environmental conditions.

Abstract
Microbially derived extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) occupy a large portion of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters, but the understanding of the photochemical behaviors of EPS is still very limited. In this study, the photochemical characteristics of EPS from different microbial sources (Shewanella oneidensis, Escherichia coli, and sewage sludge flocs) were investigated in terms of the production of reactive species (RS), such as triplet intermediates (3EPS*), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and singlet oxygen (1O2). The steady-state concentrations of •OH, 3EPS*, and 1O2 varied in the ranges of 2.55-8.73 × 10-17, 3.01-4.56 × 10-15, and 2.08-2.66 × 10-13 M, respectively, which were within the range reported for DOM from other sources. The steady-state concentrations of RS varied among different EPS isolates due to the diversity of their composition. A strong photochemical degradation of the protein-like components in EPS isolates was identified by excitation emission matrix fluorescence with parallel factor analysis, but relatively, humic-like components remained stable. Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry further revealed that the aliphatic portion of EPS was resistant to irradiation, while other portions with lower H/C ratios and higher O/C ratios were more susceptible to photolysis, leading to the phototransformation of EPS to higher saturation and lower aromaticity. With the phototransformation of EPS, the RS derived from EPS could effectively promote the degradation of antibiotic tetracycline. The findings of this study provide new insights into the photoinduced self-evolution of EPS and the interrelated photochemical fate of contaminants in the aquatic environment.

Silicate minerals as a direct source of limiting nutrients: Siderophore synthesis and uptake promote ferric iron bioavailability from olivine and microbial growth. Geobiology 2021; 19:618-630.

Abstract
Iron is a micronutrient critical to fundamental biological processes including respiration and photosynthesis, and it can therefore impact primary and heterotrophic productivity. Yet in oxic environments, iron is highly insoluble, rendering it, in principle, unavailable as a nutrient for biological growth. Life has "solved" this problem via the invention of iron chelates, known as siderophores, that keep iron available for microbial productivity. In this work, we examined the impact of siderophore synthesis on the speciation, mobility, and bioavailability of iron from rock-forming silicate minerals-shedding new light on the mechanisms by which microbes use mineral substrates to support primary productivity, as well as the consequent effects on silicate dissolution. Growth experiments were performed with Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in an oxic, iron-depleted minimal medium, amended with olivine minerals as the sole source of iron. Experiments included the wild-type strain MR-1, and a siderophore synthesis gene deletion mutant strain (ΔMR-1). Relative to MR-1, ΔMR-1 exhibited a very pronounced growth penalty and an extended lag phase. However, substantial growth of ΔMR-1, comparable to MR-1 growth, was observed when the mutant strain was provided with siderophores in the form of either filtrate from a well-grown MR-1 culture, or commercially available deferoxamine. These observations suggest that siderophores are critical for S. oneidensis to acquire iron from olivine. Growth-limiting concentrations of deferoxamine amendments were observed to be ≤5-10 µM, concentrations significantly lower than previously recorded as necessary to impact mineral dissolution rates. X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy analyses of the incubated olivine surfaces suggest that siderophores deplete mineral surface layers of ferric iron. Combined, these results demonstrate that low micromolar concentrations of siderophores can effectively mobilize iron bound within silicate minerals, supporting very significant biological growth in limiting environments. The specific mechanism would involve siderophores removing a protective layer of nanometer-thick iron oxides, enhancing silicate dissolution and nutrient bioavailability.

Abstract
Biogenic ferrous sulfide nanoparticles (bio-FeS) as low-cost and green-synthesized nanomaterial are promising for heavy metals removal, but the need for complicated extraction, storage processes and the production of iron sludge still restrict their practical application. Here, a self-regenerable bio-hybrid consisting of bacterial cells and self-assembled bio-FeS was developed to efficiently remove chromium (Cr(VI)). A dense layer of bio-FeS was distributed on the cell surface and in the periplasmic space of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, endowing the bacterium with good Cr(VI) tolerance and unusual activity for bio-FeS-mediated Cr(VI) reduction. An artificial transmembrane electron channel was constituted by the bio-FeS to facilitate extracellular electron pumping, enabling efficient regeneration of extracellular bio-FeS for continuous Cr(VI) reduction. The bio-hybrid maintained high activity within three consecutive treatment-regeneration cycles for treating both simulated Cr(VI)-containing wastewater (50 mg/L) and real electroplating wastewater. Importantly, its activity can be facilely and fully restored through bio-FeS re-synthesis or regeneration with replenished fresh bacteria. Overall, the bio-hybrid merges the self-regeneration ability of bacteria with high activity of bio-FeS , opening a promising new avenue for sustainable treatment of heavy metal- containing wastewater.

Abstract
Although secondary minerals have great potential for heavy metal removal, their impact on chromium biogeochemistry in subsurface environments associated with dissimilatory iron reducing bacteria (DIRB) remains poorly characterized. Here, we have investigated the mechanisms of biogenic secondary minerals on the rate of Cr(VI) bioreduction with shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Batch results showed that the biogenic secondary minerals, schwertmannite and jarosite, appreciably increased the Cr(VI) bioreduction rate. UV-vis diffuse reflection spectra showed that schwertmannite and jarosite are semiconductive minerals, which can be activated by MR-1, followed by transferred conduction electrons toward Cr(VI). Cyclic voltammetry and Tafel analysis suggested that the resistance of secondary minerals is a dominant factor controlling Cr(VI) bioreduction. In addition, Cr(VI) adsorption on secondary minerals through ligand exchange promoted Cr(VI) bioreduction by decreasing the electron transfer distance between MR-1 and chromate. Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling in schwertmannite and jarosite also contributed to Cr(VI) bioreduction as reflected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Complementary characterizations further verified the contributions of Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling, Cr(VI) adsorption, and conduction band electron transfer to enhanced Cr(VI) bioreduction. This study provides new insights on the understanding of Cr(VI) bioreduction by semiconductor minerals containing sulfate in subsurface environments.

Abstract
Studies of electron transfer at the population level veil the nature of the cell itself; however, in situ probing of the electron transfer dynamics of individual cells is still challenging. Here we propose label-free structural color microscopy for this aim. We demonstrate that Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cells show unique structural color scattering, changing with the redox state of cytochrome complexes in the outer membrane. It enables quantitatively and noninvasive studies of electron transfer in single microbial cells during bioelectrochemical activities, such as extracellular electron transfer (EET) on a transparent single-layer graphene electrode. Increasing the applied potential leads to the associated EET current, accompanied by more oxidized cytochromes. The high spatiotemporal resolution of the proposed method not only demonstrates the large diversity in EET activity among microbial cells but also reveals the subcellular asymmetric distribution of active cytochromes in a single cell. We anticipate that it provides a potential platform for further exploring the electron transfer mechanism of subcellular structure.
