Cable Bacteria and Their Biotechnological Application.

Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology
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.

Cable bacteria: Living electrical conduits for biogeochemical cycling and water environment restoration

Water Research
Since the discovery of multicellular cable bacteria in marine sediments in 2012, they have attracted widespread attention and interest due to their unprecedented ability to generate and transport electrical currents over centimeter-scale long-range ...

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.

Extracellular electron transfer in cable bacteria enables growth rates comparable to aerobic respiration

bioRxiv
Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers performing long-distance electron transfer in redox-stratified sediments by transporting electrons over centimetre-scale distances to reduce oxygen.

Effects of cable bacteria on vertical redox profile formation and phenanthrene biodegradation in intertidal sediment responded to tide.

Water Research
Periodic oxygen permeation is critical for pollutant removal within intertidal sediments. However, tidal effects on the vertical redox profile associated with cable bacterial activity is not well understood. In this study, we simulated and quantified the

Spatial distribution of cable bacteria in nationwide organic-matter-polluted urban rivers in China.

Science of the Total Environment
An overload of liable organic matter triggers the water blackening and odorization in urban rivers, leading to a unique microbiome driving biogeochemistry cycles in these anoxic habitats.

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.
