Schematic illustration of electron and proton flow across (a) the outer membrane (OM) of S. oneidensis MR-1 and (b) the lipid membrane in a proteoliposome system. (a) The c-type cytochrome complex MtrCAB-OmcA, which is embedded in the OM, transports electrons from the periplasm to the cell exterior via the OM. This electron transport should associate with cationic transport. (b) Electron transport via a purified MtrCAB complex embedded in a proteoliposome coupled with potassium transport through valinomycin.
