Comparison of cable bacteria genera reveals details of their conduction machinery [PDF]
EMBO ReportsCable 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 ...

Perspectives on Microbial Electron Transfer Networks for Environmental Biotechnology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The overlap of microbiology and electrochemistry provides plenty of opportunities for a deeper understanding of the redox biogeochemical cycle of natural-abundant elements (like iron, nitrogen, and sulfur) on Earth. The electroactive microorganisms (EAMs)

Extracellular electron transfer genes expressed by candidate flocking bacteria in cable bacteria sediment [PDF]
mSystemsCable bacteria, filamentous sulfide oxidizers that live in sulfidic sediments, are at times associated with large flocks of swimming bacteria. It has been proposed that these flocks of bacteria transport electrons extracellularly to cable bacteria via an

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 ...
