Probing Synechocystis-arsenic interactions through extracellular nanowires
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Microbial nanowires (MNWs) can play an important role in the transformation and mobility of toxic metals/metalloids in environment. The potential role of MNWs in cell-arsenic (As) interactions has not been reported in microorganisms and thus we explored ...

Microbial nanowires and electroactive biofilms [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2018 Geobacter bacteria are the only microorganisms known to produce conductive appendages or pili to electronically connect cells to extracellular electron acceptors such as iron oxide minerals and uranium. The conductive pili also promote cell-cell aggregation and the formation of electroactive biofilms.

Cysteine-Mediated Extracellular Electron Transfer of Lysinibacillus varians GY32
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Microbial extracellular electron transfer (EET) is essential in many natural and engineering processes. Compared with the versatile EET pathways of Gram-negative bacteria, the EET of Gram-positive bacteria has been studied much less and is mainly limited

Thermally activated charge transport in microbial protein nanowires [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractThe bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the expression of conductive protein filaments or pili to respire extracellular electron acceptors such as iron oxides and uranium and to wire electroactive biofilms, but the contribution of the protein fiber to charge transport has remained elusive. Here we demonstrate efficient long-range charge
