The bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the expression of conductive protein
filaments or pili to respire extracellular electron acceptors such as iron oxides and uranium …

The possibility that bacteria other than Geobacter species might contain genes for
electrically conductive pili (e-pili) was investigated by heterologously expressing pilin genes …

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

The respiration of metal oxides by the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the
assembly of a small peptide (the GS pilin) into conductive filaments termed pili. We gained …

Geobacter sulfurreducens' pilin-based electrically conductive protein nanowires (e-PNs) are
a revolutionary electronic material. They offer novel options for electronic sensing …

It has been proposed that Geobacter sulfurreducens requires conductive pili for long-range
electron transport to Fe (III) oxides and for high-density current production in microbial fuel …

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

Studies on the mechanisms for extracellular electron transfer in Geobacter species have
primarily focused on Geobacter sulfurreducens, but the poor conservation of genes for some …

OmcZ nanowires produced by Geobacter species have high electron conductivity (> 30 S
cm− 1). Of 111 cytochromes present in G. sulfurreducens, OmcZ is the only known nanowire …

Early studies with Geobacter sulfurreducens suggested that outer-surface c-type
cytochromes might play a role in U (VI) reduction, but it has recently been suggested that …
