Extracellular electron transport in Geobacter has long been ascribed to conductive pili.
Cryogenic electron microscopy now reveals non-conductive filaments made of pilin …

Geobacteracea are distinct for their ability to reduce insoluble oxidants including minerals
and electrodes without apparent reliance on soluble extracellular electron transfer (ET) …

Geobacter sulfurreducens profoundly shapes Earth's biogeochemistry by discharging
respiratory electrons to minerals and other microbes through filaments of a two-decades …

Geobacter sulfurreducens DL1 is a metal-reducing dissimilatory bacterium frequently used
to produce electricity in bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The biofilm formed on electrodes …

Background Metal reduction is thought to take place at or near the bacterial outer membrane
and, thus, outer membrane proteins in the model dissimilatory metal-reducing organism …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microorganisms is prevalent in nature and has been
utilized in functional bioelectrochemical systems. EET of Geobacter sulfurreducens has …
