This paper develops a synthetic biology system in Shewanella oneidensis to control biofilm conductivity and electrochemical activity through optogenetic patterning and small molecule sensing.

The paper analyzes mutation rates and diversity in Geobacter multiheme cytochromes, finding increased mutation rates and species-specific diversity that challenge homology-based annotation methods.

This study uses synthetic biology and light-induced biofilm patterning to show that periplasmic cytochromes in Shewanella oneidensis are essential for outward electron transfer but not for lateral biofilm conductivity.

This study demonstrates that retron-mediated recombineering can be applied across multiple bacterial species, achieving high editing efficiencies in several phyla.

The paper develops a red light-inducible genetic system in Shewanella oneidensis to control extracellular electron transfer.

This paper evaluates five phage-derived recombinases for recombineering in three Pseudomonas strains, achieving mutation efficiencies up to 5 x 10^-5.
