The biodegradation of organic pollutants in aquifers is often restricted to the fringes of
contaminant plumes where steep countergradients of electron donors and acceptors are …

Recently, long filamentous bacteria have been reported conducting electrons over
centimetre distances in marine sediments. These so-called cable bacteria perform an …

Recently, a novel “electrogenic” type of sulfur oxidation has been documented in marine
sediments, whereby long filamentous cable bacteria are generating electrical currents over …

Filamentous sulfide oxidizing cable bacteria are capable of linking the oxidation of free
sulfide in deep anoxic layers of marine sediments to the reduction of oxygen or nitrate in …

Cable bacteria induce long-distance electron transport in the seafloor and can exert a
powerful control on the elemental cycling in marine sediments by creating extreme …

The discovery of electric currents in marine sediments arose from a simple observation that
conventional biogeochemistry could not explain: Sulfide oxidation in one place is closely …

Cable bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae couple spatially separated sulfur oxidation
and oxygen or nitrate reduction by long-distance electron transfer, which can constitute the …

Electrogenic sulfur oxidation (e-SOx) is a newly discovered pathway of microbial sulfide
oxidation, mediated by so-called cable bacteria. The reduction of oxygen near the sediment …

Electro-active sediments distinguish themselves from other sedimentary environments by
the presence of microbially induced electrical currents in the surface layer of the sediment …

Cable bacteria are filamentous members of the Desulfobulbaceae family that oxidize sulfide
with oxygen or nitrate by transferring electrons over centimeter distances in sediments …
