Electrodes are unnatural electron acceptors, and it is yet unknown how some Geobacter
species evolved to use electrodes as terminal electron acceptors. Analysis of different …

The complete genome sequence of Geobacter sulfurreducens, a δ-proteobacterium, reveals
unsuspected capabilities, including evidence of aerobic metabolism, one-carbon and …

The model electroactive bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens can acquire electrons directly
from solid donors including metals and other species. Reports on this physiology concluding …

This review aims to discuss how Geobacter and its relatives are shaped by the nature of
their electron donor and acceptor, where electrons liberated during complete cytoplasmic …

Prokaryotes have engineered sophisticated surface nanomachines that have allowed them
to colonize Earth and thrive even in extreme environments. Filamentous machineries …

Geobacter metallireducens is an important model organism for many novel aspects of
extracellular electron exchange and the anaerobic degradation of aromatic compounds, but …

Highlights•Metal-like conductivity of nanowires is a novel concept in bio-electron
transport.•Microbial nanowires play a role in multiple forms of extracellular electron …

We have investigated the influence of electrode material and crystallographic structure on
electron transfer and biofilm formation of Geobacter sulfurreducens. Single-crystal gold—Au …

Biofilms are commonly considered as electronic insulators: there are no free electrons that
can flow under ordinary thermal conditions [1–3]. However, direct conductivity …

The in situ stimulation of Fe (III) oxide reduction in the subsurface stimulates the growth of
Geobacter spp. and the precipitation of U (VI) from groundwater. As with Fe (III) oxide …
