Nanowires that transfer electrons to extracellular acceptors are important in organic matter
degradation and nutrient cycling in the environment. Geobacter pili of the group of Type IV …

The conductivity of Geobacter sulfurreducens is attributed mainly to its truncated pili, known
as microbial nanowires. In this study, we explored the biological factors that limit electron …

The metallic-like conductivity of the Geobacter sulfurreducens pilus and higher conductivity
of its mutants reflected that biological synthesis can be utilized to improve the properties of …

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 …

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

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

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

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201404167 intermolecular electron transfer, to more than an eV for
charge transport along a chain.[13] This need for robust electronic communication between …

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

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 …
