Abstract:

The electrochemical activity of Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Compared with the cyclic voltammograms in different culture conditions, AMB-1 exhibited a good extracellular electron transfer capability after being cultured for 3 d. The oxidation peak was observed at 0.1 V and reduction peak at -0.2 V. The increase of dissolved oxygen would cause a negative shift in oxidation peak(0 V) and a new reduction peak(-0.3 V) appeared. In addition, the formation of magnetosomes deadly inhibited the extracellular electron transfer of AMB-1. The results indicate that the formation of magnetosomes is concerned with extracellular electron transfer. The study is helpful to understand the mechanisms of biomineralization.
