Geobacter Protein Nanowires

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The study of electrically conductive protein nanowires in Geobacter sulfurreducens has led to new concepts for long-range extracellular electron transport, as well as for the development of sustainable conductive materials and electronic devices with ...

Generation of High Current Densities in Geobacter sulfurreducens Lacking the Putative Gene for the PilB Pilus Assembly Motor

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Geobacter sulfurreducens is commonly employed as a model for the study of extracellular electron transport mechanisms in the Geobacter species. Deletion of pilB, which is known to encode the pilus assembly motor protein for type IV pili in other bacteria,

Aeromonas hydrophila produces conductive nanowires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aeromonas hydrophila is a facultative anaerobe which, under conditions of oxygen depletion, uses Fe(III) as electron acceptor. A. hydrophila produces pili during growth with Fe(III).

Stimulation of Biomethane Productivity in Anaerobic Digestion Using Electro-Conductive Carbon-Nanotube Hollow-Fiber Media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The production of biogas was promoted via direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) by employing electro-conductive carbon-nanotube hollow-fiber media (CHM) in anaerobic digestion.

Structure of Geobacter OmcZ filaments suggests extracellular cytochrome polymers evolved independently multiple times

open access: yeseLife, 2022
While early genetic and low-resolution structural observations suggested that extracellular conductive filaments on metal-reducing organisms such as Geobacter were composed of type IV pili, it has now been established that bacterial c-type cytochromes ...

Polyphasic Characterization of Geotalea uranireducens NIT-SL11 Newly Isolated from a Complex of Sewage Sludge and Microbially Reduced Graphene Oxide

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Graphene oxide (GO), a chemically oxidized sheet of graphite, has been used as a conductive carbon carrier of microbes to boost various bioelectrochemical reactions. However, the types of microbes that can reduce GO have rarely been investigated. In this

Mechanistic stratification in electroactive biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens mediated by pilus nanowires

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The roles played by cytochromes and conductive filamentous appendages (pili) in the electrical conductivity of Geobacter bacterial biofilms are controversial. Here, Steidl et al.

Structural Basis for Metallic-Like Conductivity in Microbial Nanowires

open access: yesmBio, 2015
Direct measurement of multiple physical properties of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili have demonstrated that they possess metallic-like conductivity, but several studies have suggested that metallic-like conductivity is unlikely based on the structures of ...

Direct Extracellular Electron Transfer of the Geobacter sulfurreducens Pili Relevant to Interaromatic Distances. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Microorganisms can transfer electrons directly to extracellular acceptors, during which organic compounds are oxidized to carbon dioxide. One of these microbes, Geobacter sulfurreducens, is well known for the metallic-like conductivity of its type IV ...
