Microbial nanowires: an electrifying tale

Microbiology (United Kingdom), 2016
Electromicrobiology has gained momentum in the last 10 years with advances in microbial fuel cells and the discovery of microbial nanowires (MNWs). The list of MNW-producing micro-organisms is growing and providing intriguing insights into the presence of such micro-organisms in diverse environments and the potential roles MNWs can perform.

Microbial nanowires for bioenergy applications

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2014
Microbial nanowires are electrically conductive filaments that facilitate long-range extracellular electron transfer. The model for electron transport along Shewanella oneidensis nanowires is electron hopping/tunneling between cytochromes adorning the filaments.

Identification and topographical characterisation of microbial nanowires in Nostoc punctiforme

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2016
Extracellular pili-like structures (PLS) produced by cyanobacteria have been poorly explored. We have done detailed topographical and electrical characterisation of PLS in Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73120 using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM). TEM analysis showed that N. punctiforme produces two separate

Microbial nanowires – Electron transport and the role of synthetic analogues

Acta Biomaterialia, 2018
Electron transfer is central to cellular life, from photosynthesis to respiration. In the case of anaerobic respiration, some microbes have extracellular appendages that can be utilised to transport electrons over great distances. Two model organisms heavily studied in this arena are Shewanella oneidensis and Geobacter sulfurreducens.

Microbial Nanowires: A New Paradigm for Biological Electron Transfer and Bioelectronics

ChemSusChem, 2012
AbstractThe discovery that Geobacter sulfurreducens can produce protein filaments with metallic‐like conductivity, known as microbial nanowires, that facilitate long‐range electron transport is a paradigm shift in biological electron transfer and has important implications for biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, and the emerging field of bioelectronics.
