Energetic constraints of metal-reducing bacteria as biocatalysts for microbial electrosynthesis.
Article in Biotechnology for biofuels and bioproducts, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAs outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we need to approach global net zero CO
resultsWe modeled the Gibbs free energy change for electron transfer from respiratory quinones to NADH under conditions reflecting changes in membrane potential, pH, reactant to product ratio, and energetically coupled IMF. Of the 40 conditions modeled for each method of energetic coupling (PMF, SMF, and uncoupled), none were thermodynamically favorable without PMF or SMF. We also found that membrane potential decreased upon initiation of EEU to NAD
conclusionsOur results suggest that Q-pool-dependent EEU is both IMF-dependent and is IMF-limited in a proof-of-concept system. Because microbes that rely on Q-pool-dependent EEU are among the most genetically tractable and metabolically flexible options for MES systems, it is important that we account for this thermodynamic bottleneck in future MES platform designs.
