DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1916244117
Abstract: Significance Cable bacteria form centimeter-long, multicellular filaments whose energy metabolism involves cooperation among cells that separately perform oxidation of the electron donor and reduction of the electron acceptor. This cooperative division of labor is facilitated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16230
Abstract: Abstract Cable bacteria are long, filamentous, multicellular bacteria that grow in marine sediments and couple sulfide oxidation to oxygen reduction over centimetre‐scale distances via long‐distance electron transport. Cable bacteria can strongly modify biogeochemical cycling and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01506
Abstract: Cable bacteria (Deltaproteobacteria, Desulfobulbaceae) are long filamentous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that generate long-distance electric currents running through the bacterial filaments. This way, they couple the oxidation of sulfide in deeper sediment layers to the reduction of… read more here.
