Comparison of cable bacteria genera reveals details of their conduction machinery [PDF]
EMBO ReportsCable bacteria are centimeter-long multicellular bacteria conducting electricity through periplasmic conductive fibers (PCFs). Using single-strain enrichments of the genera Electrothrix and Electronema we systematically investigate variations and ...

On the evolution and physiology of cable bacteria [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Cable bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae form centimeter-long filaments comprising thousands of cells. They occur worldwide in the surface of aquatic sediments, where they connect sulfide oxidation with oxygen or nitrate reduction via long-distance electron transport.

Hydrated cable bacteria exhibit protonic conductivity over long distances. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ASignificance This manuscript documents protonic conductivity across cable bacteria. The finding of protonic conductivity in cable bacteria is significant since it provides a putative scaffold through which protons may be transported on the surface of ...
