This project studies cable bacteria, which use conductive fibers for long-distance electron transfer in sediments. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind this process, with potential applications in developing new conductive materials and biodegradable electronics.
Cable bacteria are multicellular filamentous bacteria found in surface sediments worldwide.
They contain highly conductive periplasmic fibers (PCF) and use these fibers for intercellular long-distance electron transfer.
The cells in the filament separate their energy metabolism, with most cells buried in anoxic sediment oxidizing sulfide, while a few cells at the surface use the resulting electrons for oxygen reduction.
Cable bacteria significantly impact sediment geochemistry, affecting pH, ion…
