Electromicrobiology: Electron Transfer via Biowires in Nature and Practical Applications [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2016 One of the most exciting developments in the field of electromicrobiology has been the discovery of electrically conductive pili (e-pili) in Geobacter species that transport electrons with a metallic-like mechanism.

Electromicrobiological concentration cells are an overlooked potential energy conservation mechanism for subsurface microorganisms [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThermodynamics has predicted many different kinds of microbial metabolism by determining which pairs of electron acceptors and donors will react to produce an exergonic reaction (a negative net change in Gibbs free energy). In energy-limited environments,

Bacterial community of sediments under the Eastern Boundary Current System shows high microdiversity and a latitudinal spatial pattern [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The sediments under the Oxygen Minimum Zone of the Eastern Boundary Current System (EBCS) along Central-South Peru and North-Central Chile, known as Humboldt Sulfuretum (HS), is an organic-matter-rich benthic habitat, where bacteria process a variety of ...

Cable bacteria with electric connection to oxygen attract flocks of diverse bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Cable bacteria are centimeter-long filamentous microbes that conduct electrons via internal wires, thus coupling sulfide oxidation between sediment layers. Here, Bjerg et al. show that the anoxic part of oxygen-respiring cable bacteria attracts swarms of

Persistent flocks of diverse motile bacteria in long-term incubations of electron-conducting cable bacteria, Candidatus Electronema aureum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Cable bacteria are centimeters-long filamentous bacteria that oxidize sulfide in anoxic sediment layers and reduce oxygen at the oxic-anoxic interface, connecting these reactions via electron transport.

Using Cathodic Poised Potential Experiments to Investigate Extracellular Electron Transport in the Crustal Deep Biosphere of North Pond, Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 The crustal sub-seafloor covers a large portion of the Earth’s surface but is poorly understood as a habitat for life. It is unclear what metabolisms support the microscopic cells that have been observed, and how they survive under resource limitation ...

Genetic Manipulation of Desulfovibrio ferrophilus and Evaluation of Fe(III) Oxide Reduction Mechanisms [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The sulfate-reducing microbe Desulfovibrio ferrophilus is of interest due to its relatively rare ability to also grow with Fe(III) oxide as an electron acceptor and its rapid corrosion of metallic iron. Previous studies have suggested multiple agents for
