Research description Manual curation of genomes: Geobacter sulfurreducens; Geobacter metallireducens; Geobacter uraniumreducens. Comparative genomics: evaluation of possible effect of CRISPR on histidine-rich segment-containing proteins in Pelobacter carbinolicus. Mutational analysis: conserved proteins of unknown function unique to Geobacteraceae; diguanylate cyclases and novel nucleotide cyclases; ATP phosphoribosyltransferase.
