The discovery of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) and cable bacteria has
demonstrated that microbial cells can exchange electrons over long distances (μm–cm) …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Biological electron transport is classically thought to occur over nanometre distances, yet
recent studies suggest that electrical currents can run along centimetre-long cable bacteria …

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 …

Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) rely on the presence of the metabolic activity
of electroactive bacteria for the use of solid-state electrodes for oxidizing different kinds of …

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 …

Profound biogeochemical responses of anoxic sediments to the fluctuation of dissolved
oxygen (DO) concentration in overlaying water are often observed, despite oxygen having a …

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 …
