The outer membranec-type cytochromes (c-Cyts) OmcA and MtrC inShewanellaare key terminal reductases that bind and transfer electrons directly to iron (hydr)oxides. Although the amounts of OmcA and MtrC at the cell surface and their molecular structures are largely comparable, MtrC is known to play a more important role in dissimilatory iron reduction. To explore the roles of these outer membranec-Cyts in the interaction of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 with iron oxides, the processes of attachment of S. oneidensis MR-1 wild type andc-type cytochrome-deficient mutants (the ΔomcA,ΔmtrC, and ΔomcAΔmtrCmutants) to goethite are compared via quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Strains with OmcA exhibit a rapid initial attachment. The quantitative model for QCM-D responses reveals that MtrC enhances the contact area and contact elasticity of cells with goethite by more than one and two times, respectively.In situattenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared two-dimensional correlation spectroscopic (ATR-FTIR 2D-CoS) analysis shows that MtrC promotes the initial interfacial reaction via an inner-sphere coordination. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis demonstrates that OmcA enhances the attractive force between cells and goethite by about 60%. As a result, OmcA contributes to a higher attractive force with goethite and induces a rapid short-term attachment, while MtrC is more important in the longer-term interaction through an enhanced contact area, which promotes interfacial reactions. These results reveal thatc-Cyts OmcA and MtrC adopt different mechanisms for enhancing the attachment of S. oneidensis MR-1 cells to goethite. It improves our understanding of the function of outer membranec-Cyts and the influence of cell surface macromolecules in cell-mineral interactions.IMPORTANCEShewanellaspecies are one group of versatile and widespread dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, which are capable of respiring insoluble iron minerals via six multihemec-type cytochromes. Outer membranec-type cytochromes (c-Cyts) OmcA and MtrC are the terminal reductases in this pathway and have comparable protein structures. In this study, we elucidate the different roles of OmcA and MtrC in the interaction of S. oneidensis MR-1 with goethite at the whole-cell level. OmcA confers enhanced affinity toward goethite and results in rapid attachment. Meanwhile, MtrC significantly increases the contact area of bacterial cells with goethite and promotes the interfacial reaction, which may explain its central role in extracellular electron transfer. This study provides novel insights into the role of bacterial surface macromolecules in the interfacial interaction of bacteria with minerals, which is critical to the development of a comprehensive understanding of cell-mineral interactions.
