Electroactive microorganisms markedly affect many environments in which they establish
outer-surface electrical contacts with other cells and minerals or reduce soluble extracellular …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbial process that produces renewable energy in the form
of methane by treating organic waste and high-strength wastewater. Recent studies have …

OmcZ nanowires produced by Geobacter species have high electron conductivity (> 30 S
cm− 1). Of 111 cytochromes present in G. sulfurreducens, OmcZ is the only known nanowire …

Electrically conductive appendages from the anaerobic bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens
were first observed two decades ago, with genetic and biochemical data suggesting that …

The dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) process was known as a short
circuit in nitrogen cycle, a key step in recovering nitrogen from nitrate wastewater, and has …

Microbial corrosion of iron-based materials is a substantial economic problem. A
mechanistic understanding is required to develop mitigation strategies, but previous …

By electronically wiring-up living cells with abiotic conductive surfaces, bioelectrochemical
systems (BES) harvest energy and synthesize electric-/solar-chemicals with unmatched …

The study of electrically conductive protein nanowires in Geobacter sulfurreducens has led
to new concepts for long-range extracellular electron transport, as well as for the …

Deltaproteobacteria, now proposed to be the phyla Desulfobacterota, Myxococcota, and
SAR324, are ubiquitous in marine environments and play essential roles in global carbon …

Many iron (Fe) redox processes that were previously assumed to be purely abiotic, such as
photochemical Fe reactions, are now known to also be microbially mediated. Owing to this …
