... environments and in the production of energy in microbial fuel cells. The capacity of Shewanella to perform extracellular reduction of metals is linked to the action of several multihaem cytochromes that may be periplasmic or can be associated with the inner or outer membrane. One of these cytochromes is CymA...

..., the characterization of multihaem cytochromes is not a straightforward task as considerable difficulties arise at both the structural and the functional level.

The position and orientation of the haem cofactors in multihaem cytochromes from different bacteria often show significant conservation despite different arrangements of the polypeptide chain. We propose that the decahaem cytochromes of the iron reductase system...
