Electroactive bacteria produce or consume electrical current by moving electrons to and
from extracellular acceptors and donors. This specialized process, known as extracellular …

Biology leverages a range of electrical phenomena to extract and store energy, control
molecular reactions and enable multicellular communication. Microbes, in particular, have …

Redox cycling of extracellular electron shuttles can enable the metabolic activity of
subpopulations within multicellular bacterial biofilms that lack direct access to electron …

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 …

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 …

Microbial bioelectronics require interfacing microorganisms with electrodes. The resulting
abiotic/biotic platforms provide the basis of a range of technologies, including energy …

Filamentous cable bacteria display long-range electron transport, generating electrical
currents over centimeter distances through a highly ordered network of fibers embedded in …

The accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment substantially endangers
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Many microbial strains have been recognized to utilize …

The electric wires of cable bacteria possibly support a unique respiration mode with a few
oxygen-reducing cells flaring off electrons, while oxidation of the electron donor and the …
