Bioelectrocatalysis is an interdisciplinary research field combining biocatalysis and
electrocatalysis via the utilization of materials derived from biological systems as catalysts to …

Bacterial biofilms are formed by communities that are embedded in a self-produced matrix of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Importantly, bacteria in biofilms exhibit a set …

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has biogeochemical significance, and practical
applications that rely on DIET or DIET-based aspects of microbial physiology are growing …

The discovery of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) and cable bacteria has
demonstrated that microbial cells can exchange electrons over long distances (μm–cm) …

Anaerobic methane oxidation is coupled to the reduction of electron acceptors, such as
sulfate, and contributes to their biogeochemical cycling in the environment. However …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

The transfer of nutrients between cells, or cross-feeding, is a ubiquitous feature of microbial
communities with emergent properties that influence our health and orchestrate global …

How metal-reducing bacteria transfer electrons during dissimilatory energy generation
under electron acceptor-limited conditions is poorly understood. Here, we incubated the iron …

The electrically conductive pili of Geobacter species have been proposed to play an
important role in long-range electron transfer to Fe (III) oxides and other cells and have …

The possibility that bacteria other than Geobacter species might contain genes for
electrically conductive pili (e-pili) was investigated by heterologously expressing pilin genes …
