Photocatalytic oxidation of organic substrates requires anelectronacceptor, light of the proper wavelength, and low concentrations of catalyst fouling agents or interfering radical scavengers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These coincide with localized occurrence of nitrate, which could provide anelectronacceptorfor microbial pyrite oxidation.

Iron is not only a source of energy for iron-oxidizing prokaryotes, but also can be used aselectronacceptorfor anaerobic respiration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Under anaerobic conditions (as occur toward the bottom of the tube) some bacteria use thiosulfate as anelectronacceptorand reduce it to hydrogen gas.
