Data_Sheet_1_The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer.docx [PDF]
, 2022 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an effective mechanism for microbial species to exchange electrons cooperatively during syntrophic metabolism. It is generally accepted that DIET is mainly mediated by electrically conductive pili and outer

The Type IVB Pili of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Bind to the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi expresses type IVB pili. We show that the prePilS protein (the soluble precursor form of the structural pilin) interacts with a 15-mer peptide representing the first extracellular domain of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a recognized human ...

Low Energy Atomic Models Suggesting a Pilus Structure that could Account for Electrical Conductivity of Geobacter sulfurreducens Pili [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractThe metallic-like electrical conductivity of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili has been documented with multiple lines of experimental evidence, but there is only a rudimentary understanding of the structural features which contribute to this novel mode of biological electron transport.
