Geobacter daltonii is a Gram-negative, Fe(III)- and Uranium(IV)-reducing and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Geobacter. It was isolated from sediments from the Oak Ridge Field Research Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the United States.[1][3][4][5][6] The specific epithet "daltonii" was refers to Dava Dalton, who performed the initial isolation of the strain, but died shortly thereafter.
Characteristics
[edit]Geobacter species are known for their ability to facilitate extracellular electron transfer.[7] A feature of G. daltonii specifically is the pili structures that are electrically conductive allowing for connections to other cells, free minerals in their environment, and other electrodes.[7] This may have implications for the utilization of G. daltonii as a tool in environmental remediation of U(VI). In 2022 a proposal was made to reclassify organisms in the Deltaproteobacteria class, including G. daltonii.[8]
