Lack of physiological evidence for cytochrome filaments functioning as conduits for extracellular electron transfer

mBio
Extracellular cytochrome filaments are proposed to serve as conduits for long-range extracellular electron transfer. The primary functional physiological evidence has been the reported inhibition of Geobacter sulfurreducens Fe(III) oxide reduction when ...
