Potential impacts of cable bacteria activity on hard-shelled benthic foraminifera: implications for their interpretation as bioindicators or paleoproxies [PDF]
BiogeosciencesHard-shelled foraminifera are protists able to build a calcareous or agglutinated shell (called a “test”). Here we study the impact of sediment acidification on calcareous test preservation.

Efficient long-range conduction in cable bacteria through nickel protein wires [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Filamentous cable bacteria conduct electrical currents over centimeter distances through fibers embedded in their cell envelope. Here, Boschker et al. show that the fibers consist of a conductive core containing nickel proteins that is surrounded by an ...

Cable Bacteria Get Energy Through Electrical Teamwork
Frontiers 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.

Cable bacteria reduce methane emissions from rice-vegetated soils [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Rice paddies are a major source of the Earth’s atmospheric methane, making these important food crops potent contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Here the authors show that inoculation of paddies with a particular bacterium could significantly curb ...

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 ...

Biogeochemical impact of cable bacteria on coastal Black Sea sediment [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Cable bacteria can strongly alter sediment biogeochemistry. Here, we used laboratory incubations to determine the potential impact of their activity on the cycling of iron (Fe), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). Microsensor depth profiles of oxygen, sulfide

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.
