Microbial protein nanowires are emerging as an alternative to abiotic nanowires for
electronics applications. Microbial nanowires are sustainably produced, robust, non-toxic …

This review synthesizes recent discoveries of novel archaea clades capable of oxidizing
higher alkanes, from volatile ones like ethane to longer-chain alkanes like hexadecane …

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

Borgs are huge extrachromosomal elements (ECE) of anaerobic methane-consuming
“Candidatus Methanoperedens” archaea. Here, we used nanopore sequencing to validate …

Metal-reducing bacteria have adapted the ability to respire extracellular solid surfaces
instead of soluble oxidants. This process requires an electron transport pathway that spans …

Highly purified cultures of alkaliphilic aceticlastic methanogens were collected for the first
time using methanogenic enrichments with acetate from a soda lake and a terrestrial mud …

Extracellular cytochrome filaments are proposed to serve as conduits for long-range
extracellular electron transfer. The primary functional physiological evidence has been the …

Structural determinants of a 103-fold variation in electrical conductivity for helical
homopolymers of tetra-, hexa-, and octa-heme cytochromes (named Omc-E, S, and Z …

Geobacter sulfurreducens profoundly shapes Earth's biogeochemistry by discharging
respiratory electrons to minerals and other microbes through filaments of a two-decades …

Two limiting factors of microbial electrochemical denitrification (MED) are the abundance
and efficiency of the functional microorganisms. To supply these microorganisms, MED …
