Fine-tuning MtrCAB expression to affect EET efficiency determined by WO3 reduction assay. (A) Color development of the WO3 reduction assay. Culture medium without bacteria was used as a control to eliminate disturbances caused by abiotic factors. The mtrCAB gene was overexpressed in the S. oneidensis ΔmtrA strain under the control of promoters placUV5, pTet, and pBAD, which were named as S-ΔmtrA, L-mtrCAB, M-mtrCAB, and H-mtrCAB, respectively, according to their level of expression (L, low; M, medium; H, high). (B) ‘Density (mean)’ analysis of each strain from the WO3 reduction assay using ImageJ Software V.1.8.0. The error bars (mean ± SD) were derived from triplicate experiments for each strain.
