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

Cable bacteria have been identified and detected worldwide since their discovery in marine
sediments in Aarhus Bay, Denmark. Their activity can account for the majority of oxygen …

Cable bacteria are centimeter-long filamentous bacteria that conduct electrons via internal
wires, thus coupling sulfide oxidation in deeper, anoxic sediment with oxygen reduction in …

Cable bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae form centimeter-long filaments comprising
thousands of cells. They occur worldwide in the surface of aquatic sediments, where they …

Seagrasses thrive in anoxic sediments where sulphide can accumulate to phytotoxic levels.
So how do seagrasses persist in this environment? Here, we propose that radial oxygen …

The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new
discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of …

Electron transport within living cells is essential for energy conservation in all respiring and
photosynthetic organisms. While a few bacteria transport electrons over micrometer …

Cable bacteria are long, multicellular filaments that can conduct electric currents over
centimeter-scale distances. All cable bacteria identified to date belong to the …

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 …
