Electromicrobiological concentration cells are an overlooked potential energy conservation mechanism for subsurface microorganisms

Frontiers in Microbiology
Thermodynamics has predicted many different kinds of microbial metabolism by determining which pairs of electron acceptors and donors will react to produce an exergonic reaction (a negative net change in Gibbs free energy). In energy-limited environments,

Let's Symbiose and Be With. A cross-disciplinary research and expression of amor mundi through electrifying living networks

Inmaterial
The sand of the seafloor is filled with electricity. Although it has been like that for millions of years, only about a decade ago, a group of Danish researchers found out that a microscopic hair-like bacterium is responsible for it.

Abundance and diversity of denitrifying and anammox bacteria in seasonally hypoxic and sulfidic sediments of the saline Lake Grevelingen

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Denitrifying and anammox bacteria are involved in the nitrogen cycling in marine sediments but the environmental factors that regulate the relative importance of these processes are not well constrained.

A highly conductive fibre network enables centimetre-scale electron transport in multicellular cable bacteria

Nature Communications, 2019
Cable bacteria’ form long multicellular filaments that can transfer electrical currents over centimetre-long distances. Here, Meysman et al. show that the electrical currents run along highly conductive fibres embedded in the cell envelope, and charge ...

Host evasion by Burkholderia cenocepacia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic respiratory pathogen of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is one of the highly transmissible species of Burkholderia cepacia complex and very resistant to almost all the antibiotics.

Cable bacteria conduct electricity: the direct proof

, 2019
Since the discovery of cable bacteria in 2012, it was suggested by multiple lines of evidence that the internal structure of these microorganisms is able to conduct electrical currents internally from cell to cell.

Altered by Gold: A Comparative Zooarchaeological Analysis of 19th to 20th Century Chinese and British Migrants in Ravenswood, a Northern Queensland Gold Mining Town

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Rapid redox signal transmission by "Cable Bacteria" beneath a photosynthetic biofilm

, 2015
Recently, long filamentous bacteria, belonging to the family Desulfobulbaceae, were shown to induce electrical currents over long distances in the surface layer of marine sediments.
