Geobacter sulfurreducens is a genus of proteobacteria. Geobacter species are anaerobic respiration bacterial species which have capabilities that makes them useful in bioremediation. Geobacter sulfurreducens are capable of creating thick networks of biofilms on microbial fuel cell anodes for extracellular electron transfer. Electric currents are produced when the transfer of these electrons to anodes is coupled of intracellular organic waste. The most upregulated gene, omcS was studied with respect to the reduction of Fe (III) and Mn (IV) oxide. In the workflow of bioinformatics, the FASTA format of omcS was retrieved using UNIPROT database. The FASTA sequence of omcS gene was uploaded in I-TASSER. Among various hits the PDB ID 1gnjA was similar to the target sequence and the associated ligand binding residues 205, 269, 282 were closely associated with binding portion of target sequence. In Future, three di-peptides will be constructed from the three amino acids and it can be validated in the area of bioremediation instead of the whole organism. These peptides will be useful in industries to degrade pollution. This paper is an initiation to identify the protein complex to extract the active peptides.
