Geobacter-based syntrophy drives biogenic element cycling in anoxic soils: a review

Microbial syntrophy is a central organizing principle in anoxic soils, where the degradation of organic matter and the cycling of nitrogen, sulfur, and iron are constrained by electron availability and thermodynamics. Among soil anaerobes, Geobacter species occupy a distinctive ecological anoxic niche in which they for...
