Cable bacteria have been reported in sediments from marine and freshwater locations, but
the environmental factors that regulate their growth in natural settings are not well …

Recently, a new group of multicellular microorganisms was discovered, called 'cable
bacteria', which are capable of generating and mediating electrical currents across …

Seafloor fuel cells made with graphite electrodes generate electricity by promoting electron
transfer in response to a natural voltage difference (− 0.7 to− 0.8 V) between anoxic …

This study reports that the obligate anaerobic microorganism, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, a
predominant sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) in soils and sediments, can produce …

Spatially separated electron donors and acceptors in sediment can be exploited by the so‐
called “cable bacteria.” Electric potential microelectrodes (EPMs) were constructed to …

Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

Bacterial reduction of oxidized sulfur species (OSS) is critical for energy production in
anaerobic marine subsurfaces. In organic-poor sediments, H2 has been considered as a …

Olkiluoto, an island on the south-west coast of Finland, will host a deep geological repository
for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Microbially induced corrosion from the generation of …

The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited
understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological …

Complex interactions between microbial communities and geochemical processes drive the
major element cycles and control the function of marine sediments as a dynamic reservoir of …
