Although proteins are considered as nonconductors that transfer electrons only up to 1 to 2
nanometers via tunneling, Geobacter sulfurreducens transports respiratory electrons over …

A micrometers-long helical homopolymer of the outer-membrane cytochrome type S (OmcS)
from Geobacter sulfurreducens is proposed to transport electrons to extracellular acceptors …

Summary Long-range (> 10 μm) transport of electrons along networks of Geobacter
sulfurreducens protein filaments, known as microbial nanowires, has been invoked to …

Microbial nanowires are fascinating biological structures that allow bacteria to transport
electrons over micrometers for reduction of extracellular substrates. It was recently …

OmcZ nanowires produced by Geobacter species have high electron conductivity (> 30 S
cm− 1). Of 111 cytochromes present in G. sulfurreducens, OmcZ is the only known nanowire …

Extracellular electron transfer via filamentous protein appendages called 'microbial
nanowires' has long been studied in Geobacter and other bacteria because of their crucial …

The bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the expression of conductive protein
filaments or pili to respire extracellular electron acceptors such as iron oxides and uranium …

Multifunctional living materials are attractive due to their powerful ability to self-repair and
replicate. However, most natural materials lack electronic functionality. Here we show that …

The naturally widespread process of electron transfer from metal reducing bacteria to
extracellular solid metal oxides entails unique biomolecular machinery optimized for long …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) via microbial nanowires drives globally-important
environmental processes and biotechnological applications for bioenergy, bioremediation …
