An Ordered and Fail‐Safe Electrical Network in Cable Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Biosystems, 2020
Abstract Cable bacteria are an emerging class of electroactive organisms that sustain unprecedented long‐range electron transport across centimeter‐scale distances. The local pathways of the electrical currents in these filamentous microorganisms remain unresolved.

Using Oxidative Electrodes to Enrich Novel Members in the Desulfobulbaceae Family from Intertidal Sediments

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Members in the family of Desulfobulbaceae may be influential in various anaerobic microbial communities, including those in anoxic aquatic sediments and water columns, and within wastewater treatment facilities and bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) such ...

Cell Cycle, Filament Growth and Synchronized Cell Division in Multicellular Cable Bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cable bacteria are multicellular, Gram-negative filamentous bacteria that display a unique division of metabolic labor between cells. Cells in deeper sediment layers are oxidizing sulfide, while cells in the surface layers of the sediment are reducing ...

Network analysis reveals microbe-mediated impacts of aeration on deep sediment layer microbial communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Over-aeration is a common remediation strategy for black and odorous water bodies, in which oxygen is introduced to impact aquatic microbial communities as an electron acceptor of high redox potential.

Biogeochemical impacts of fish farming on coastal sediments: Insights into the functional role of cable bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Fish farming in sea cages is a growing component of the global food industry. A prominent ecosystem impact of this industry is the increase in the downward flux of organic matter, which stimulates anaerobic mineralization and sulfide production in ...

Cable Bacteria Activity Modulates Arsenic Release From Sediments in a Seasonally Hypoxic Marine Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Eutrophication and global change are increasing the occurrence of seasonal hypoxia (bottom-water oxygen concentration <63 μM) in coastal systems worldwide.

Cable Bacteria Get Energy Through Electrical Teamwork

open access: yesFrontiers for Young Minds, 2023
Cable bacteria are very different from most other bacteria. First of all, they are multicellular, and each cable bacterium has tens of thousands of cells connected in a chain called a filament that can be several centimeters long. What makes cable bacteria really special is the way they get the energy they need for living: the cells within a filament ...
