Microbial metabolism plays an important role in the global cycling of carbon, nutrients, and
metals. Recent discovery of microorganisms sharing energy using direct electrical …

A microbial nanowire is a filament appendage produced by bacteria known also as bacterial
nanowires. The characteristics of microbial nanowires are similar to those of polymer …

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

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 …

charge transport along a chain.[13] This need for robust electronic communication between …

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

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 multi-heme c-type cytochrome OmcS, is one of the central components for extracellular
electron transport in Geobacter sulfurreducens strain DL-1, but its role in other microbes …

The metal-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the expression of
conductive pili to reduce iron oxides and to wire electroactive biofilms, but the role of pilus …

Every living cell needs to get rid of leftover electrons when metabolism extracts energy
through the oxidation of nutrients. Common soil microbes such as Geobacter sulfurreducens …
