Several species of δ proteobacteria are capable of reducing insoluble metal oxides as well
as other extracellular electron acceptors. These bacteria play a critical role in the cycling of …

Direct measurement of multiple physical properties of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili have
demonstrated that they possess metallic-like conductivity, but several studies have …

Extracellular electron transfer by Geobacter species through surface appendages known as
microbial nanowires is important in a range of globally important environmental phenomena …

The reduction of iron oxide minerals and uranium in model metal reducers in the genus
Geobacter is mediated by conductive pili composed primarily of a structurally divergent pilin …

The metallic-like electrical conductivity of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili has been
documented with multiple lines of experimental evidence, but there is only a rudimentary …

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 …

There is a debate whether Geobacter sulfurreducens produces electrically conductive pili (e-
pili) from its pilin monomer, PilA, a protein encoded by gene GSU 1496. G. sulfurreducens …

The electrically conductive pili (e-pili) of Geobactersulfurreducens have environmental and
practical significance because they can facilitate electron transfer to insoluble Fe (III) oxides; …
