The discovery of bacterial conductive structures, termed nanowires, has intrigued scientists
for almost a decade. Nanowires enable bacteria to transfer electrons over micrometer …

The electrically conductive pili of Geobacter sulfurreducens are of both fundamental and
practical interest. They facilitate extracellular and interspecies electron transfer (ET) and also …

Electronic nanostructures made from natural amino acids are attractive because of their
relatively low cost, facile processing and absence of toxicity,,. However, most materials …

A dynamic field of study has emerged involving long-range electron transport by
extracellular filaments in anaerobic bacteria, with Geobacter sulfurreducens being used as a …

Extracellular electron transfer via filamentous protein appendages called 'microbial
nanowires' has long been studied in Geobacter and other bacteria because of their crucial …

Novel imaging approaches have recently helped to clarify the properties of 'microbial
nanowires'. G eobacter sulfurreducens pili are actual wires. They possess metallic‐like …

Bacterial nanowires offer an extracellular electron transport (EET) pathway for linking the
respiratory chain of bacteria to external surfaces, including oxidized metals in the …

Summary Long-range (> 10 μm) transport of electrons along networks of Geobacter
sulfurreducens protein filaments, known as microbial nanowires, has been invoked to …

Microbes that can transfer electrons to extracellular electron acceptors, such as Fe (iii)
oxides, are important in organic matter degradation and nutrient cycling in soils and …

The extracellular appendages of bacteria (flagella) that transfer electrons to electrodes are
called bacterial nanowires. This study focuses on the isolation and separation of nanowires …
