In the recent times, nanomaterials have emerged in the field of biology, medicine,
electronics, and agriculture due to their immense applications. Owing to their nanoscale …

Microbial electrochemical techniques describe a variety of emerging technologies that use
electrode–bacteria interactions for biotechnology applications including the production of …

The biotic–abiotic photosynthetic system integrating inorganic light absorbers with whole-
cell biocatalysts innovates the way for sustainable solar-driven chemical transformation …

Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly.
However, the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists …

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 …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is the physiological process that enables the reduction
or oxidation of molecules and minerals beyond the surface of a microbial cell. The first …

Twenty years ago, the publication of the first bacterial genome sequence, from Haemophilus
influenzae, shook the world of bacteriology. In this Timeline, we review the first two decades …

We have applied “whole-genome shotgun sequencing” to microbial populations collected
en masse on tangential flow and impact filters from seawater samples collected from the …

Extracellular redox-active compounds, flavins and other quinones, have been hypothesized
to play a major role in the delivery of electrons from cellular metabolic systems to …

Iron (Fe) has long been a recognized physiological requirement for life, yet for many
microorganisms that persist in water, soils and sediments, its role extends well beyond that …
