Values represent fold differences between G. metallireducens cells grown by DIET with Methanothrix thermoacetophila compared to growth with ethanol (20 mM) as the electron donor and ferric citrate (56 mM) as the electron acceptor (DIET vs Fe(III)-citrate); G. metallireducens cells grown by DIET with Mx. thermoacetophila in the presence of 10 mM magnetite versus DIET without magnetite (DIET-magnetite vs DIET); or G. metallireducens cells grown by DIET with Mx. thermoacetophila without magnetite compared to DIET with magnetite (DIET vs DIET-magnetite). Only genes with fold differences >2 and P values <0.05 were considered significant. NS: no significant difference. P values are available in Table S1.
