Polyphosphate Dynamics in Cable Bacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Cable bacteria are multicellular sulfide oxidizing bacteria that display a unique metabolism based on long-distance electron transport. Cells in deeper sediment layers perform the sulfide oxidizing half-reaction whereas cells in the surface layers of the

Inducing the attachment of cable bacteria on oxidizing electrodes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Cable bacteria (CB) are multicellular, filamentous bacteria within the family of Desulfobulbaceae that transfer electrons longitudinally from cell to cell to couple sulfide oxidation and oxygen reduction in surficial aquatic sediments.

On the diversity, phylogeny and biogeography of cable bacteria
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCable bacteria have acquired a unique metabolism, which induces long-distance electron transport along their centimeter-long multicellular filaments. At present, cable bacteria are thought to form a monophyletic clade with two described genera.

Long-distance electron transport in multicellular freshwater cable bacteria
eLife, 2023 Filamentous multicellular cable bacteria perform centimeter-scale electron transport in a process that couples oxidation of an electron donor (sulfide) in deeper sediment to the reduction of an electron acceptor (oxygen or nitrate) near the surface ...

Motility of Electric Cable Bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016 ABSTRACT Cable bacteria are filamentous bacteria that electrically couple sulfide oxidation and oxygen reduction at centimeter distances, and observations in sediment environments have suggested that they are motile. By time-lapse microscopy, we found that cable bacteria used gliding motility on surfaces with a highly variable ...

Cable Bacteria Skeletons as Catalytically Active Electrodes [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2023 AbstractCable bacteria are multicellular, filamentous bacteria that use internal conductive fibers to transfer electrons over centimeter distances from donors within anoxic sediment layers to oxygen at the surface. We extracted the fibers and used them as free‐standing bio‐based electrodes to investigate their electrocatalytic behavior.

Cable Bacteria in Freshwater Sediments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACTIn marine sediments cathodic oxygen reduction at the sediment surface can be coupled to anodic sulfide oxidation in deeper anoxic layers through electrical currents mediated by filamentous, multicellular bacteria of theDesulfobulbaceaefamily, the so-called cable bacteria.
