Hi:
This is a nice website. Thanks for creating such a information bank. Is it possible to add a section for Q&A? May be many researcher’s are visiting this bog and they might be able to help answering questions.
For example: I am looking for the biomass yield for Shewanella grown in defined medium using lactate as electron donor and Fumarate as electron acceptor. What is the maximum substrate utilization rate of electron donor.
I am trying to find it for long time but couldn’t able to get it.
Thanks,
Bulbul Ahmed

Hello Bulbul. Thanks for visiting my site. I haven’t had a lot of time these days to post to the site. There are some great papers that have recently been published on Shewanella. I’ll have to post the links.
I like your idea of a Q&A link.
To answer your question, I think there might be some papers out there on growth yields for different media. I can’t recall any. But, what you are looking for is a molar growth yield. I’ve done this for Shewanella sp ANA-3 grown on arsenate. The molar growth yield for lactate was about 10 g cells/mol and a generation time of ~2.8 h. I think fumarate would be better.
I’ll ask around and see if I can find something fumarate reduction rates. In the meantime, you’re going to need to do some PubMed searching.
Cheers!

Hi:
Thanks for your response. I think you have made this blog as a big information center. You can definitely use this bank and make it more interactive.
I would love to see these values. If you find any paper, do not hesitate to send directly at bulbul1981@gmail.com.
