Hydrated cable bacteria exhibit protonic conductivity over long distances. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Significance 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 ...

The genetic repertoire underlying electrogenic sulphur oxidation in cable bacteria [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Cable bacteria are filamentous, sulphur-oxidizing microorganisms of the Desulfobulbaceae family that conduct electrons over centimetre-scale distances, coupling sulphide oxidation in deeper sediments to oxygen reduction near the surface ...

The dynamics of cable bacteria colonization in surface sediments: a 2D view [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Cable bacteria that are capable of transporting electrons on centimeter scales have been found in a variety of sediment types, where their activity can strongly influence diagenetic reactions and elemental cycling.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Evidence for cable bacteria inhabiting deep in anoxic sediment reveals a novel ecological niche [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome
Background Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers capable of cm-scale electron transport. They are generally considered restricted to the upper few oxic–suboxic cm of marine sediments, where they couple sulphide oxidation to oxygen or nitrate ...

A hierarchical nickel organic framework confers high conductivity over long distances in cable bacteria

bioRxiv
Multi-cellular cable bacteria have evolved a unique machinery that efficiently transports electrons across centimetre-scale distances. Currents flow through a parallel network of periplasmic fibres, which display an extraordinary conductivity for a ...

Indications for a genetic basis for big bacteria and description of the giant cable bacterium Candidatus Electrothrix gigas sp. nov.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Bacterial cells can vary greatly in size, from a few hundred nanometers to hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Filamentous cable bacteria also display substantial size differences, with filament diameters ranging from 0.4 to 8 µm.

The Cell Envelope Structure of Cable Bacteria [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cable bacteria are long, multicellular micro-organisms that are capable of transporting electrons from cell to cell along the longitudinal axis of their centimeter-long filaments.
