Water quality drives the distribution of freshwater cable bacteria

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
Cable bacteria are a group of recently found filamentous sulfide-oxidizing Desulfobulbaceae that significantly impact biogeochemical cycling. However, the limited understanding of cable bacteria distribution patterns and the driving force hindered our abilities to evaluate and maximize their contribution to environmental health.

Cable Bacteria and Their Biotechnological Application

Cable bacteria grow as multicellular filaments several centimetres deep into the sediment of freshwaters and oceans. Hereby, cable bacteria show unique characteristics such as electrogenic sulphur oxidation, extremely high conductivity and ability for CO2 fixation.

Activity and interactions of cable bacteria

This thesis explores the interactions between cable bacteria and their environment in estuarine sediment. Cable bacteria are centimetres long, and are known to be highly electrically conductive. In this work, the ability for cable bacteria to transport electrons to external materials was demonstrated, both in the environment and on gold electrodes.

The charge transport mechanism in cable bacteria

In this dissertation, the charge transport mechanism in the conductive fibres of cable bacteria is investigated. In Chapter 1, the research field of bacterial electricity is introduced. Three kinds of bacterial nanowires are discussed: Shewenella nanowires, Geobacter nanowires and the conductive fibres fromcable bacteria. Even though the three types of

How do cable bacteria breathe?:Towards identification & characterization of a novel terminal oxidase in cable bacteria

2018
“Cable bacteria” were discovered in 2012 by researchers at AarhusUniversity and revealed a novel type of long-distance electron transportwithin their filamentous bodies. While our preliminary data have indicatedthat cable bacteria have the highest respiration rate per cell evermeasured, extensive omics data have failed to identify any terminaloxidase ...

Bacteria make cables to form a ‘living gel’

Physics World
Researchers have found that bacterial cells in solutions of polymers such as mucus grow into long cable-like structures that buckle and twist on each other forming a “living gel” made of intertwined cells.
