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 …

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

Microorganisms can transfer electrons directly to extracellular acceptors, during which
organic compounds are oxidized to carbon dioxide. One of these microbes, Geobacter …

The metal-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens produces protein nanowires (pili)
for fast discharge of respiratory electrons to extracellular electron acceptors such as iron …

The metal-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens produces conductive protein
appendages known as “pilus nanowires” to transfer electrons to metal oxides and to other …

Geobacter sulfurreducens (GS) electronically connects with extracellular electron acceptors
using conductive protein filaments or pili. To gain insights into their role as biological …

The electrically conductive pili (e-pili) of Geobacter sulfurreducens serve as a model for a
novel strategy for long-range extracellular electron transfer. e-pili are also a new class of …

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