Comparison of cable bacteria genera reveals details of their conduction machinery

EMBO Reports
Cable bacteria are centimeter-long multicellular bacteria conducting electricity through periplasmic conductive fibers (PCFs). Using single-strain enrichments of the genera Electrothrix and Electronema we systematically investigate variations and ...

Geochemical response of Aptian sediments before, during and after Oceanic Anoxic Event 1A: insight from the La Frontera section Subbetic Basin, southern Spain

Frontiers in Earth Science
The hallmark of lower Aptian sediments is commonly organic-rich black shales related to widespread oxygen deficient conditions known as ocean anoxic event 1a (OAE1a).

Multi-wavelength Raman microscopy of nickel-based electron transport in cable bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology
Cable bacteria embed a network of conductive protein fibers in their cell envelope that efficiently guides electron transport over distances spanning up to several centimeters.

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Abundance and diversity of denitrifying and anammox bacteria in seasonally hypoxic and sulfidic sediments of the saline Lake Grevelingen

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Denitrifying and anammox bacteria are involved in the nitrogen cycling in marine sediments but the environmental factors that regulate the relative importance of these processes are not well constrained.

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Let's Symbiose and Be With. A cross-disciplinary research and expression of amor mundi through electrifying living networks

Inmaterial
The sand of the seafloor is filled with electricity. Although it has been like that for millions of years, only about a decade ago, a group of Danish researchers found out that a microscopic hair-like bacterium is responsible for it.

A highly conductive fibre network enables centimetre-scale electron transport in multicellular cable bacteria

Nature Communications, 2019
Cable bacteria’ form long multicellular filaments that can transfer electrical currents over centimetre-long distances. Here, Meysman et al. show that the electrical currents run along highly conductive fibres embedded in the cell envelope, and charge ...

Host evasion by Burkholderia cenocepacia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic respiratory pathogen of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is one of the highly transmissible species of Burkholderia cepacia complex and very resistant to almost all the antibiotics.
